WNBA Draft Big Board: Top 20 Prospects for 2025 After Olivia Miles' Transfer Decision
WNBA Draft Big Board: Top 20 Prospects for 2025 After Olivia Miles' Transfer Decision

The 2025 WNBA draft is right around the corner, and we are getting a clearer picture of who will declare, who will remain in college and who might be some of the top international young prospects front offices are considering.
Azzi Fudd is returning to UConn for another year, Lauren Betts will return to UCLA and Gianna Kneepkens has entered the transfer portal to utilize another year in college as a graduate transfer.
Arguably the biggest news so far was the decision by Olivia Miles to forgo the draft and transfer out of Notre Dame for next season.
Here's a look at 20 of the top prospects WNBA front offices have been focused on for months as we inch closer to draft night on April 14.
1. Paige Bueckers, PG, UConn

Height: 6'0"
Age: 23
Stats: 20.1 PPG, 4.9 APG, 43% 3PT, 4.3 RPG
Paige Bueckers is a household name in basketball at this point. The superstar guard is the clear favorite to go No. 1 in the draft due to her elite playmaking, facilitating and shotmaking.
She is the type of player who makes everyone around her better, as well as being the type of guard who can create her own instant offense. Her poise, understanding of pace and decision-making will all translate to the pro level as a franchise lead guard for many years.
Bueckers has been on a tear in the NCAA tournament averaging 35 points per game in the last three games, including a 40-point performance against Oklahoma in the Sweet 16.
2. Dominique Malonga, F, France

Height: 6'6"
Age: 19
Stats: 18.5 PPG, 11 RPG, 1.4 APG
Dominique Malonga is one of the most unique prospects we have seen come through the game. Her 6'6" frame, combined with her athleticism and advanced skill set for her age, makes her an anomaly. She has the mobility and a face-up game like a guard, yet she has elite length and imposing size.
At just 19 years old, it's scary to think about her potential as she has barely scratched the surface of the player she can become, making her one of the most sought-after prospects in this class.
3. Sonia Citron, G, Notre Dame

Height: 6'1"
Age: 21
Stats: 14.1 PPG, 37% 3PT, 5.4 RPG, 2.7 APG
Sonia Citron will be highly sought-after in this draft class due to her versatility, length and the consistency she brings to both ends of the floor.
She can play on or off the ball, complements elite scorers and playmakers exceptionally well, can shoot the ball efficiently, and she is capable of handling different defensive assignments. She is also a very good rebounder from the guard spot.
The All-ACC first team and Defensive Team selection has phenomenal instincts, and she would be a great addition to any WNBA franchise as a utility wing.
4. Kiki Iriafen, F, USC

Height: 6'3"
Age: 22
Stats: 18.2 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 47% FG
Kiki Iriafen has all the tools to make an impact in the WNBA as a rookie at the forward spot with her ability to rebound off the glass, elevate and score over opponents and play in an up-tempo, pro system.
Iriafen's ceiling is what makes her even more sought-after, as she can continue to hone and improve her offensive arsenal.
While Iriafen struggled in her final game against UConn, she has had some highly impressive efficient offensive outings, such as the 16/22 FG performance against Mississippi State in the NCAA tournament.
5. Aneesah Morrow, F, LSU

Height: 6'1"
Age: 22
Stats: 18.7 PPG, 13.5 RPG, 49% FG, 29% 3PT
There's not a player in the country who has a tougher motor and no-quit approach than Aneesah Morrow. The nation's leader in double-doubles has consistently been this way her entire career.
From the grassroots level to DePaul and LSU, she has dominated the paint, the glass and produced night in, night out.
I can see a number of franchises loving the idea of adding a player like Morrow to their roster. Carving out a role in the league is doable, and her offensive skill set can continue to expand as she is a capable perimeter threat.
6. Georgia Amoore, PG, Kentucky

Height: 5'6"
Age: 23
Stats: 19.6 PPG, 6.8 APG, 34% 3PT
As a true floor general and facilitator, Georgia Amoore is one of the best in the class for the leadership and IQ she brings to the floor.
Where she goes in this draft is less important; it comes down to fit. Some may shy away from her smaller frame, but WNBA history will tell you just how successful elite point guards with big hearts have been.
Amoore can pick apart and read a defense like no other. She sees the game like a coach on the floor and has always made everyone around her better. She can create her own shot and create separation for herself.
She'll thrive at the next level when she doesn't have entire scouting reports focused solely on her every game. The question is who has a need for a rookie point guard this season?
7. Shyanne Sellers, PG, Maryland

Height: 6'2"
Age: 21
Stats: 14.5 PPG, 4.1 APG, 41% 3PT
A lot of franchises need to add depth in the backcourt in this draft, and Shyanne Sellers is a great option for all to consider due to her versatility at the guard spot.
With a 6'2" frame and length, she has run the point for Maryland in college but has the potential to play off the ball on the wing at the next level as well.
The potential to back up a primary ball-handler and also play multiple positions and complement a lot of different players is what makes Sellers a valuable asset for the future.
8. Serena Sundell, PG/G, Kansas State

Height: 6'2"
Age: 22
Stats: 14.1 PPG, 7.3 APG, 4.4 RPG, 50% FG
Sundell is the epitome of versatility with her size and well-rounded skill set, and she has to be looked upon as a sort of unicorn in this class.
The 6'2" point guard leads the nation in assists this season, but she has the tools to play and defend just about any position on the floor.
Sundell has spent her career setting up elite scorers and creating high percentage shots for those around her, but she can score herself when needed.
9. Saniya Rivers, G/F, NC State

Height: 6'1"
Age: 22
Stats: 11.9 PPG, 3.8 APG, 6.6 RPG
Size, athleticism, playmaking and the ability to defend multiple positions makes Saniya Rivers intriguing for front offices in this class.
The 6'1" wing has all the physical tools to impact the WNBA immediately in one way or another. She has been instrumental in NC State's success in her career and is a proven leader on the court.
Rivers puts pressure on defenses with how she plays in the open floor, she rebounds the ball exceptionally well from the guard spot, defends at an elite level and makes the right pass consistently.
10. Te-Hina Paopao, G, South Carolina

Height: 5'9"
Age: 22
Stats: 9.5 PPG, 36% 3PT, 2.9 APG
Fifth-year South Carolina guard Te-Hina Paopao is experienced, has pro habits and a pro approach to the game, and she is the unselfish playmaker and perimeter shotmaker.
She can play on or off the ball to add depth in the backcourt. She understands pace and shot selection, and she does a great job of valuing the possession and limiting turnovers.
Her shot-making ability from the perimeter is her greatest asset, and she has the potential to help stretch the defense and create spacing as a pro.
11. Hailey Van Lith, PG, TCU

Height: 5'9"
Age: 23
Stats: 17.9 PPG, 5.4 APG, 34% 3PT
Hailey Van Lith led TCU to a historic turnaround and its first-ever Big 12 regular-season title, first-ever Big 12 Tournament Championship and first-ever 30-plus win season.
As Big 12 Player of the Year, she emerged as one of the country’s premier playmakers and on-court leaders.
A rejuvenated Van Lith has put the country on notice with her playmaking, decision-making, shot creation and leadership on a level we haven't seen out of her before.
She is as WNBA-ready as she has ever been, but where she lands depends more on fit than where she goes in the draft.
12. Justė Jocytė, G, Lithuania

Height: 6'2"
Age: 19
Stats: 12.7 PPG, 2.7 APG, 1.8 SPG
Justé Jocytė has played against high-level competition since she was 13 years old. As a highly skilled guard, she has an advanced level of understanding of the game for a 19-year-old.
There is a lot of value in WNBA teams drafting and stashing or developing international prospects. Jocytė has always had WNBA ambition, and it feels like a natural progression after playing professionally in France the last few years.
She has great size to go along with a lefty release and pure shot-making ability in a variety of ways. She uses her frame well when coming off screens and against defenders to leverage position and make the right read.
13. Sedona Prince, C, TCU

Height: 6'7"
Age: 24
Stats: 17.2 PPG, 9.4 RPG, 3.1 BPG
Sedona Prince is one of the oldest and most experienced players in the country, and combined with her size and skill set, she is a rarity in this draft class.
At 6'7", she would bring rim protection as one of the nation's leading shot-blockers. She can face up and is highly effective in the mid-range with her pure shot and operates at a high level in the pick and roll.
The two-man game between Prince and Hailey Van Lith is a major factor in the historic season TCU had this year. That pro style will likely pay off for a franchise looking for impactful size and someone who can space the floor in this class.
14. Ajša Sivka, F, Slovenia

Height: 6'4"
Age: 19
Stats: 10 PPG, 7.4 RPG, 3 APG, 35% 3PT
Ajša Sivka is one of the most talented and promising young prospects to come out of Europe in recent years.
The 6'4" forward can play out on the wing and stretch defenses with her shooting ability and length. She has a well-rounded skill set and can be used in a lot of different ways at the next level.
Young international prospects are always highly sought-after in drafts because of limited roster and cap space. Sivka has great long-term potential in the pro game.
15. Makayla Timpson, F, Florida State

Height: 6'2"
Age: 22
Stats: 17.5 PPG, 10.6 RPG, 54% FG, 3.1 BPG
Makayla Timpson makes it look effortless the way she plays the game and uses her elite athleticism to impact both ends of the floor.
She has all of the physical tools to make an immediate impact on any frontcourt this season. At 6'2", she is an elite defender capable of shifting off different positions and is one of the top shot-blockers in the country. She is a great rim runner, can elevate over others and is quick off her feet on the rebound.
Timpson is efficient at scoring around the paint, has a nice stroke on mid-range jumpers and executes well with other dominant post players.
16. JJ Quinerly, G, West Virginia

Height: 5'8"
Age: 22
Stats: 20.4 PPG, 3.2 APG, 3.0 SPG
When talking about two-way backcourt impact, it's hard not to focus on JJ Quinerly.
The two-time Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Watch List member is a menace with what she can do on the ball and in the full court defensively.
WNBA front offices are always looking for great defenders who can carve out a role within the league, but Quinerly is a multi-level major scoring threat as well.
She elevated her play in the final month of her senior year at West Virginia, further increasing her stock on the biggest stage.
What makes Quinerly even more intriguing as a prospect is that she has played for three different coaches during her collegiate career at West Virginia. She is quick to adapt to different coaching styles.
17. Sania Feagin, F, South Carolina

Height: 6'3"
Age: 22
Stats: 8.1 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 61% FG
Sania Feagin has been forged into the player she is today after playing behind dominant post players such as Kamilla Cardoso and Aliyah Boston at South Carolina.
She is coming into her own this season and her development is paying off as her draft stock has consistently been on the rise the last few months.
The 6'3" forward has a high ceiling of potential as a pro, and her confidence is at an all-time high. Arguably the most impressive statistic is her offensive efficiency in shooting 61 percent, and she is proving to be highly impactful from the mid-range. She is a very good passer out of the post, and she has soft touch and good footwork around the paint.
Her strength and elite length give her all the attributes to make a mark as a WNBA prospect.
18. Aziaha James, G, NC State

Height: 5'10"
Age: 21
Stats: 17.9 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 33% 3PT, 2.6 APG
Aziaha James is an electric playmaker and certified bucket-getter, with a great first step and explosive off the bounce.
The NC State guard is capable of scoring at all three levels and plays exceptionally well in an up-tempo system and would adapt well to a pro style of play.
The pros are filled with elite guards who are capable of creating shots for themselves. James thrives in doing just that and can put a lot of pressure on the defense with the different ways she can manufacture points.
She has all the tools to be an impactful guard on the defensive end of the floor as a pro as well.
19. Sarah Ashlee Barker, G, Alabama

Height: 6'0"
Age: 23
Stats: 18.2 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 3.9 APG, 38% 3PT, 2 SPG.
Sarah Ashlee Barker is an elite leader and playmaker who impacts the game in every possible way. Her motor and hustle do not stop. She was the heart and soul of Alabama this season, and she has next-level potential.
One of the most inspiring performances this season was her 45-point game against Maryland in the NCAA tournament, where we saw a senior leader pouring her heart into the game and doing all she could to keep her collegiate career going.
WNBA front offices will have noticed that type of effort, too.
Barker has the size, strength, leadership and well-rounded skills for a long-term pro career.
20. Lucy Olsen, PG, Iowa

Height: 5'10
Age: 21
Stats: 17.9 PPG, 36% 3pt, 3.6 RPG, 5 APG, 1.1 SPG
Lucy Olsen increased her exposure this season after choosing to transfer from Villanova to Iowa for her senior year.
The move paid off with her consistent performances in the Big Ten as a dynamic point guard who took the league by storm. She was a first-team All-Big Ten selection after an impressive year with the Hawkeyes.
With over 2,000 career points, Olsen is a scoring machine who thrives as a playmaker with the ball in her hands. She put up the most consistent numbers of her career this season, shooting 36 percent from the perimeter.
She can attack off the dribble, get herself to the rim, use her length at the guard spot exceptionally well and is a strong passer. Olsen has a natural feel for the game as a playmaker and scorer, and she has a well-rounded skill set that will get her opportunities at the next level as a pro.
