In order for the WNBA to grow, it needs to be supported from every angle the NBA is, and while that’s easier said than done for certain financial considerations, testimonials like that of Deandre Ayton at Summer League minicamp Wednesday go a long way in proving the ultimate truth about the women’s league -- it’s an amazing, competitive league full of legendary athletes.
