2025 Draft Outlook as WNBA Hits Olympic Break

Yet, with generational talent Paige Bueckers eligible for the 2025 WNBA Draft, it is likely that Dallas will be able to select first. Beuckers is listed as the top prospect available in Bleacher Report’s early draft predictions.


TOP OPTIONS BESIDES BUECKERS

Beuckers stands ready to dominate the college landscape similar to this year’s no. 1 pick Caitlin Clark. It is unlikely that the team picking first would pass on her given how much she has been talked about already, even if she was used a trade piece. This draft features other promising ballers who can lead their team to victory. Here are a couple other names leading the 2025 draft class.

Kiki Ifiaren – Foward/USC

Ifiaren controlled the floor for Stanford before entering the transfer portal to join USC. As a junior, she produced career highs in points per game (19.4) rebounds (11.0), and assists (2.3).

Aneesah Morrow – Guard/LSU

Morrow stands at 6’1” and averaged 16.4 points while shooting 46.6% on the court. She could be relied on defensively, collecting 10 rebounds/game and stealing the rock 2.5-per-game. Prior to joining LSU, Morrow ran DePaul University’s offense for two years. She is playing more of a secondary role on a much better LSU squad.

SIDE NOTE: Beuckers has been a star player since her high school career.
