Complete 2025 WNBA Draft Order

First Round

1. Dallas Wings: Paige Bueckers, Guard, UConn 

The Dallas Wings are seeking a point guard to complement shooting guard Arike Ogunbowale, Paige Bueckers is an exceptional candidate to fill in the position needs. She led the UConn Huskies to their first national championship since 2016 and has made a significant impact on both ends of the court since returning to play for her fifth season.

Bueckers will bring in her exceptional playmaking skills, versatility and ability to play multiple positions to the Wings. She could be the franchise player Dallas has been looking for, especially after relocating from Tulsa nearly a decade ago.

"I'm coming in and wanting to five everything I have to this organization. We've established there's new levels of standards that are going to be set in play. There's a new GM, new coach, a whole new team. So we're excited for a new fresh start."

- Aya Abdeen

2. Seattle Storm: Dominique Malonga, Center, France

With the No.2 overall pick, the Seattle Storm select French sensation Dominque Malonga. At 6'6 she bolsters the Storm's front court depth alongside Ezi Magbegor and Nneka Ogwumike. Known for her dunking skills, Malonga provides both an interior and outside threat for Seattle. If you watch her highlights, it's clear why Seattle made this pick.

At just 19 years old, she moves incredible well for her size. The Storm are getting a player who possess great length and size. This may be a steal of the draft. With tremendous upside, we've yet to see Malonga play in the States. A viral sensation, she has unbelievable athleticism.

"I'm really excited to step on the court in the W [WNBA], and show that European basketball is something too, and I am come here and showcase my talent."

- Sara Jane Gamelli

3. Washington Mystics: Sonia Citron, Guard, Notre Dame

With the No.3 overall pick the Mystics are getting a franchise player with Sonia Citron. A player that can build around Aaliyah Edwards and Shakira Austin, Citron is a player that brings much needed shooting. Washington ranked one of the lowest in offense last season, and what better way to replace Julie Vanloo and Ariel Atkins.

Citron is a great two-way player that brings length and size to the Mystics. In her senior season, she averaged 14.1 points, shooting 37.2 percent from beyond the arc. Her versatility will give the Mystics options to play her at the wing. Either way, she's a polished scorer, which they need.

"I'm really excited. It's an amazing opportunity. It's somewhere whee I can really try and make an impact and learn from the amazing players that are already there."

- Sara Jane Gamelli

 4.Washington Mystics: Kiki Iriafen, Forward, USC

A little bit of a surprise here as I expected the Mystics to take Iriafen with the third pick and Citron with the fourth instead of the other way around. That’s a good call by Aya on the mock draft as she had Citron in the No. 3 slot. Regardless, they both end up in DC and I love the pairing.

Iriafen entered her senior season firmly in the running to be taken No. 1 overall after averaging a career-high 19.4 points and 11 rebounds per game her junior season at Stanford (2023-24). Iriafen suffered a slight statistical regression at USC this season and is in turn the fourth pick, but she’s still a great addition for a rebuilding Mystics team.

"I feel super blessed and grateful that the Mystics choose me. I'm super excited to play with Sonia [Citron] and Georgia [Amoore]. I feel like this opportunity is such a blessing."

-Will Despart

5. Golden State Valkyries: Justé Jocyté, Guard, Lithuania

It's the first year the WNBA Draft has had an expansion team since 2008 and this Golden State's first pick ever. What better way to build your franchise around Justé Jocyté. I won't lie, every reputable mock, include ours had Aneesah Morrow heading to the Bay area here.

Don't get me wrong, this is a fantastic pick. Jocyté is an extremely talented player who can player both on and off ball. At six feet, she has the versatility to be able to play multiple positions. The Valkyries already cemented Temi Fagbenle and Tiffany Hayes, Justé Jocyté. will add another level of offense needed to jump start this franchise.

The first player selected in franchise history, Justé Jocyté is an elite shooter who will hit spot up, and will put up a ton of threes, which may work out all too well next to Hayes.

-Sara Jane Gamelli

6. Washington Mystics: Georgia Amoore, Guard, Kentucky

The backcourt parade continues with the Australian Amoore joining the fold alongside Citron and Iriafen. Amoore has earned All-American honors in consecutive seasons and her playmaking abilities should be welcome for a Mystics group seeking to keep pace on national scoreboards. Amoore and Citron will have a strong backcourt mentor to work with in Brittney Sykes, who is set to return for a third season in the nation’s capital.

"Iron sharpens iron, right? When you get thrown into a situation like that, you either adapt or down, right? I'm excited to go in and be challenged and mentally grow my game."

-Geoff Maggliochetti 

7. Connecticut Sun (Via Phoenix Mercury): Aneesah Morrow, Forward, LSU

Alyssa Thomas, Dewanna Bonner, and Brionna Jones. Aneesah Morrow is a key addition that head coach Rachid Meziane needs in his first year. She brings dynamic play, versatility, and strong rebounding abilities to the team. Morrow is coming off four consecutive seasons double-doubles from both DePaul and LSU and will be the forward to watch in the future for the Sun.

"I'm looking forward to matching up against Angel [Reese] my former teammate. I love her to death, but i know that it's going to be two dogs slashing on the floor and trying to get up in there and get as many rebounds as possible. "

-Aya Abdeen

8. Connecticut Sun (Via Indiana Fever): Saniya Rivers, Forward, NC State

The Sun continue to restock their depleted roster with playmakers, adding Rivers mere minutes after Morrow’s arrival. A South Carolina transfer, Rivers impressed on both sides of the ball by leading the Wolfpack in assists, blocks, and steals. Rivers should have an immediate opportunity to step up and succeed at the professional one with an aura of uncertainty surrounding Marina Mabrey’s Uncasville fate.

"That's my dawg [Aneesah Morrow]. I'm so happy to be playing with her. I was telling people playing against her in the W is going to be tough. I had to guard her in the Sweet 16, I was just not doing that. We're gonna make some noise for sure."

-Geoff Maggliochetti 

9. Los Angeles Sparks (Via Seattle Storm): Sarah Ashlee Barker, Guard, Alabama

Wow. The Sparks take Alabama’s Sarah Ashlee Barker with Hailey Van Lith and Shyanne Sellers still on the board. That’s a bit of a reach in my opinion, but Barker earned quite a bit of good press after dropping 45 in the Crimson Tide’s Round of 32 loss to Maryland a few weeks ago.

All things considered, Barker is going to a great landing spot for her development. She’ll get to play alongside All-Star veterans Kelsey Plum and De’Arica Hamby and with young stars Rickea Jackson and Cameron Brink.

"There's so many great players in the W, and I'm excited for the competition. For the athleticism, and just a new chapter in my life. I've been in college for five years, and I'm just ready to start the next chapter."

-Will Despart

10. Chicago Sky (Via Connecticut Sun): Ajša Sivka, Foward, Tarbes Gespe Bigorre/Slovenia.

The first pick of the Tyler Marsh era, Ajsa Sivka is a pretty good puzzle piece to fit into his system.  Sivka is proficient on both ends of the floor and is a great shooter and passer for her 6’4 frame.

She’ll be an interesting addition to Chicago’s starting lineup, considering the fact that she’ll likely be playing alongside two other bigs in Angel Reese and Kamila Cardoso. It’s not just the Twin Towers in Chicago, there’s three of them now and the new one can bring the ball up the court too.

"I'm really excited to play with all these great players, like Angel Reese, of course. I can't wait to start.

-Will Despart

11. Chicago Sky (Via Minnesota Lynx): Hailey Van Lith, Guard, TCU

The Chicago Sky acquired the pick through a trade with the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday, they need a point guard to backup Courtney Vandersloot. Especially after selecting forward Ajsa Sivka at 10th overall, they added in Hailey Van Lith.

Van Lith is coming off a season where she was a part of history with the TCU Horned Frogs. She is known for her versatile offense game, such as her effective scoring and playmaking skills. Head coach Tyler Marsh is optimistic to see Van Lith learning from Vandersloot to prepare for the future.

"I would just like to begin with thanking Chicago. I'm so grateful for this opportunity . All I have asked for is the opportunity my whole career. I couldn't be more honored and blessed that they [Chicago] were the team that gave me that opportunity."

-Aya Abdeen

12. Dallas Wings (Via New York Liberty): Aziaha James, Guard, NC State

Dallas bookended the first round by pairing Bueckers with James, a Raleigh stalwart who became one of the ACC’s top talents over the last two years. James took advantage of two years on the Wolfpack bench and the patience paid off when she established herself a sterling two-way and transitional star.

James’ healthy sense of reckless abandon from deep should help a Dallas team that ranked 10th in three-point attempts per game and she should learn plenty from DiJonai Carrington.

"Just being that dawg. Just finding any keys that Dallas needs. Pushing myself, pushing my teammates, being that energetic rookie. Motivating my vets. Being that sponge. Learning new information from my bets. When my number is called, whenever it is, you know I'll be ready."
