The promo starts off with a shot of a Coach handbag transitioning into Paige Bueckers walking on the court. The No. 1 pick provides the initial voice-over in the video, which lasts till Aneesah Morrow enters the frame.

On May 5, Bueckers talked with TIME about the same subject but focused on the endorsement world this time.

"There’s not ever equal coverage. There’s white privilege every single day that I see,” she said. “I feel like I’ve worked extremely hard, blessed by God. But I do think there’s more opportunities for me. I feel like even just marketability, people tend to favor white people, white males, white women. I think it should be equal opportunity."

Bueckers is expected to make her debut on Friday when the Dallas Wings go against the Minnesota Lynx in their season opener.
