The NBA Draft started last night and there was plenty of drama and excitement to go along with it, including a big trade between the Minnesota Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs landing the Wolves Kentucky standout Rob Dillingham.
The night also included the first round snubbing of Duke star Kyle Filipowski.

And while there is buzz about Bronny James, because he is Lebron's son (not because he should actually get drafted), perhaps the more fun story is that of UConn standout Donovan Clingan and his college girlfriend Madeleine Ross.
Clingan was drafted seventh overall by Portland and will undoubtedly be a force for the Trailblazers.

However, while Clingan's selection was great for he and his family it was Ross who turned heads at the Barclays Center.
And while we certainly do not want to limit Ross' role and future profession to WAG, with the way the internet and influencer world operate there is an abundance of opportunities on the horizon for her were she to choose that route.
Either way we wish her and Donovan a bright future. You can see some of her latest activity on Instagram below.
