The 2025 WNBA draft is shaping up to be a highly anticipated event, with several talented prospects vying for the top spot. UConn’s Paige Bueckers is currently projected to be the number one pick, following in the footsteps of Caitlin Clark, who was the wire-to-wire top pick in the 2024 WNBA mock draft.
The order of picks has not been established, but the lottery teams in contention for the number one pick are the Los Angeles Sparks, Dallas Wings, Chicago Sky, and Washington Mystics. The Golden State Valkyries, who will join the league in 2025 as its 13th team, will also participate in the draft.
If Bueckers is selected first overall, it would mark only the second time in WNBA history that guards have been taken with the top pick in consecutive years. Bueckers, a redshirt senior, has already shown impressive skills on the court, averaging 21.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists last season.
Other top prospects include USC’s Kadi Sissoko, LSU’s LaDazhia Morrow, UConn’s Azzi Fudd, Notre Dame’s Olivia Miles, Maryland’s Shyanne Sellers, and France’s Yohana Malonga. These players bring a range of skills to the table, from scoring and rebounding to defense and playmaking.
The WNBA draft is always an exciting event, and this year’s crop of talent promises to bring a new level of excitement to the league. Will Bueckers be the top pick, or will another player emerge to take the top spot? Only time will tell.
