The 2025 WNBA Draft is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated nights in recent league history. With a deep pool of elite college and international talent entering the professional ranks, franchises across the league will be looking to secure their next cornerstone player.
All eyes are firmly on Paige Bueckers, the standout guard from UConn, who is projected to go first overall to the Dallas Wings-a team already stacked with young talent but eager to add a generational playmaker.

- Sonia Citron (Notre Dame): A dynamic wing scorer and two-way player who fits the mold of a modern WNBA guard-forward hybrid.
Each of these players brings a unique blend of size, skill, and experience, making the early selections especially valuable this year.
