1.Dallas Wings: Paige Bueckers, Uconn
In November, after Dallas won the WNBA draft lottery, the long -standing Wingsstar Ariche Ogu Boyle posted how happy she was.

2. Seattle Storm: Olivia Mile, Notre Dame
Seattle Guard and Notre Dame Alumni Skylar Diggins-Smith fell into the crowd at South Bend on Friday. Olivia Miles left the game early due to ankle injuries, but she was still able to show her skills of dreaming of what Diggins-SMITH dreams of. For Miles’ team members, the ability to get the ball in the biggest defense will fit well in Seattle.
3. Washington Mystic: Kiki Iriafen, USC
4. Washington Mystic: Sonia Citron, Notre Dame
Pick No. 3 originally belonged to the Chicago Sky, but Washington gained it from the above -mentioned Atkins Trade and provided the mystic opportunities to get the best talent. What Iriafen and Citron have in common is the ability to convey what the team needs at high pressure moments. Washington is starting fresh and needs a rookie who can handle the stress of the WNBA game in the jump.

On Monday night, the USC superstar Juju Watkins shed tears in the second round against Mississippi, and the troy neck was collapsed. But Iriafen did not score 36 points in victory. She has an average of 19.6 points and 8.7 rebounds per game this season and can affect it right now.

She scored an average of 14.3 points and 5.8 rebounds while she was a career at NOTRE DAME, adding boost to Washington’s reconstruction.
5. Golden State Valkyrie: French Dominique Malonga
Golden State is worth the experience of foreign players to WNBA. Nine athletes on the 15 -year -old are from the United States. There is no reason to think that you will not find any other international player in the draft. In 6 feet -6, Malonga already has the advantage of her size. She helped France to win the silver medal at the Paris Olympics, and most of the coaches have potential types of spilling. In 20 games against Lyon last season, Malonga scored an average of 15.0 points and 10.3 rebounds per game.

Assuming that the above players are going to Washington, they will create a powerful group in the court with young players like Aaliyah Edwards and Shakira Austin. But after they were still transferred from duckgans, they were able to use the highest level of promotions and ball handlers, such as Paopao, the core part of Gamecocks’ recent success. Last year, during South Carolina’s championship season, PaoPao scored an average of 11.0 and 3.7 assists.
7. Connecticut Sun: Anesah Morrow, LSU
8. Connecticut Line: Shyanne Sellers, Maryland
As the sun strives to find out its identity in 2025, a versatile player is needed and Morrow is suitable for its role. She can score and rebound, and you can lead the NCAA to rebounds and double double per game. Morrow scored 26 points in the second round of LSU in Florida, and it will be an important part of the running of Tigers, but lasts long. Meanwhile, the seller showed that she could score, score and score. In the second round, the seller scored 28 points in the double overtime victory against Maryland’s epic Alabama. This season, she scored an average of 14.5 points and 4.1 assists per game.
9. Los Angeles Spark: Georgia AMO, Kentucky
Spark ranked 10th in the league with three points last season, and AMOOORE started at Virginia Tech before heading to Kentucky and was a three -point Sharp shooter (35.6 %) in all university careers. She was able to create an immediate difference in their attacks by helping the team, Lynne Roberts, helped the team to find identity with the Pick Cameron Brink last year.

10. Chicago Sky: Hailey van Lith, TCU
During the free agency, the Chicago Sky signed the Courtney Vandersloot, and many of the successful moments of the franchise regained the key point guard. However, Vandersloot is 36 years old, and it is reasonable for SKY to write point guards like Van Lith. Point guards like Van Lith can be learned from Vandersloot and contributed to meaningful people on the bench.
11. Minnesota Lynx: Saniya Rivers, NC
If you saw the NCAA tournament, we saw what Rivers could achieve in the court. In the second round, she scored 17 points and 11 assists with a double double with Michigan, with a triple double with eight rebounds. Rivers are flexible and can play different roles in the court, which is the exact kind of Cheryl Reave and Lynx.
12. Dallas Wings: Juste Jocyte, Lithuania
When I came from a basketball family, Jocyte has been playing a high level of basketball since I was 13 years old. Her club team is a French Asvel Feminin, but it was noticeable for Lithuanian teams while playing in the Eurobasket qualifiers. The rider scored an average of 17 points per game, including 22 points against Belgium and Euro Basket Champion. There’s something he needs to do, but playing with Ogunbowale in Dallas can help she reach the next stage.
