The Wings also gave us an exclusive look at how the runs in camp are going. Let’s dive in…

In the clips we’ve seen so far, the Wings’ ball movement has been eliteeeeee.

New head coach Chris Koclanes shared his thoughts on DiJonai Carrington’s top-tier defense.

He told the media, “I love Dijonai’s ability to guard multiple positions and she will for sure be attacking ball handlers and getting into the ball early. She just has a presence and an instinct that you can’t teach.”

Speaking of Paige, journalist Dorothy J. Gentry asked her what’s the different between playing in college and the pros. Her response? SCREENS.

I asked Paige Bueckers about the biggest difference between college and pros so far…
