The Dallas Wings are on the clock.
But they’re not expected to waste much time, with UConn prospect Paige Bueckers being the consensus top prospect this year.
Other top names include USC forward Kiki Iriafen, Notre Dame guard Sonia Citron and French center Dominique Malonga of ASVEL Féminin, among others.
Another name to watch outside of the top five is TCU guard Hailey Van Lith, who rediscovered her form after leaving LSU and could end up a future steal.

How many rounds is the WNBA draft?
There are three rounds in each WNBA draft. Each round has 13 picks, though the first round in 2025 will have 12 due to the Las Vegas Aces forfeiting theirs.
In May 2023, the WNBA rescinded Las Vegas’ 2025 first-rounder and suspended head coach Becky Hammon for two games after an investigation concluded that the team violated league rules regarding impermissible player benefits and workplace policies.

- Seattle Storm
- Washington Mystics
- Washington Mystics
- Golden State Valkyries
- Washington Mystics
- Connecticut Sun
- Connecticut Sun
- Los Angeles Sparks
- Chicago Sky
