Amidst all the drama with the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday with the retirement of LaMarcus Aldridge, Kevin Durant made a prediction on Twitter, sharing his thoughts on the WNBA draft Thursday. There is a long list of talented players that were selected at the top of the board in this year’s WNBA Draft; however, the Nets star has former Longhorn (of course) Charli Collier going #1.
Who going number 1 tonight? I got Charli Collier

A few hours later, the Wings selected Collier with the first overall pick. Dallas also possessed the second overall pick, and selected Awak Kuier from Finland.
My Moment.
