Load wehoop WNBA Stats Draft

Loads season-level WNBA draft picks scraped from the WNBA Stats API (drafthistory-style outputs). One row per pick. Backed by the wehoop-wnba-stats-data pipeline that reads raw JSONs from wehoop-wnba-stats-raw and publishes parquet/rds artifacts to the wnba_stats_draft release tag.

load_wnba_stats_draft_manifest() returns the per-season manifest CSV (season, row_count, generated_at_utc, source_endpoint) for the WNBA Stats draft release tag without downloading any season's full data.

  seasons = most_recent_wnba_stats_season(),

  dbConnection = NULL,
  tablename = NULL
)
