Unrivaled finally has its teams set.
With tipoff less than two months away, the new 3-on-3 women’s professional basketball league became a little bit more defined with Wednesday’s announcement.
The league divided its pool of players into six pods of wings, guards and forwards. The six coaches then put the names on a board and drafted teams with the main idea being that the six-player rosters would be as equal as possible. The twist was that none of the coaches knew which team they would be coaching until after the squads were made.
Co-founders and WNBA stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart are on different teams.
Stewart’s Mist squad includes former Seattle Storm teammate Jewell Loyd as well as current New York Liberty teammate Courtney Vandersloot, while Dijonai Carrington, Aaliyah Edwards and Rickea Jackson round out the roster.
