NBA Draft Pick's UConn Girlfriend Has America Buzzing

The NBA Draft started last night. Did you know? Lord knows I didn't. Also, it's a two-day event? Why? Feels like you can wrap that bad boy up in a few hours and let us move on with our lives, no?

Anyway, I'm not here to make fun of the NBA … for once. Nope. I'm here because – as I always say – my lane here at OutKick is to constantly stay ahead of the trends. My head is on a constant swivel, and my fingers always – always – on the pulse of this great country. 

I know Bronny James is all the talk right now, which is objectively hilarious, because I think I had similar college basketball stats and I absolutely did not play college basketball. 

What's the NFL equivalent of Bronny James being drafted? The third-string 'Bama QB going in Round 2? Maybe. 

Where were we? Oh yeah – staying ahead of trends! 

Last night, UConn stud Donovan Clinghan was drafted seventh overall by Portland, and the internet was abuzz over college girlfriend, Madeleine Ross, who dominated the Barclays Center for obvious reasons:

UConn stars dominate the NBA Draft on and off the court 

Honestly, I'm glad we have some new NBA WAGs. Do we even have any right now? I'm sure we do, but I don't know who they are. 

Feel like the NFL has the WAG market pretty cornered, with NASCAR being a sneaky wild card (you'd know that if you did what millions do on Monday mornings and read my award-winning column). 

But the NBA is never really discussed when it comes to WAGs, and I hope that changes here with UConn Madeleine. 

Let's head to the comments to get a quick pulse:

Hey when you’re a NBA all star don’t forget about Bristol.

A champion with his trophy!

You look rich. 

The worlds fav couple!

I could go on and on, but y'all don't care about what everyone else is saying. You wanna see the NBA's newest power couple with your own two eyes, and I get it. 

And, of course, that's why I'm here. Welcome to the show, Maddie. Sorry you have to live in Portland.
