Connecticut Sun Rookie Aneesah Morrow has made a smooth transition from college to the WNBA, as she has shown she can hang in the big leagues. The former LSU Tiger sat down with WNBA legend Lisa Leslie during her “Between the Lines” podcast and opened up about many things, including people she thinks should still be in the WNBA.
In the interview, Morrow stated that she believes that Aari McDonald, who was let go by the LA Sparks earlier this year and not signed by any team yet around the time of the interview, should still be in the WNBA. McDonald now played with the Indiana Fever, with her being brought in to replace the injured Caitlin Clark. However, she was soon released again after Clark returned.
“That’s a good one. Um, I say, Aari McDonald,” Aneesah Morrow told Lisa Leslie.
“Oh, and I know like her process and everything, but like every I feel like every time she goes somewhere, she makes a huge impact, and I feel like she should definitely be in the league, especially like watching her games when she just was with the Fever,” she explained.
Lisa Leslie agreed with Morrow, and McDonald did not stay a free agent for long, however. The Indiana Fever decided to sign her up for the rest of the season, even with Caitlin Clark already back in the lineup.
As for Aneesah Morrow, she was the seventh overall pick in the WNBA draft after averaging a double-double during her senior season with 18.7 points and 13.5 rebounds per game.
