2025 WNBA Mock Draft 4.0: Final Predraft Predictions Following March Madness

The UConn Huskies were crowned NCAA national champions in a storybook ending to Paige Bueckers' collegiate career Sunday, and the WNBA draft is less than a week away.

We haven't seen a shift in the draft order since our Mock 3.0, but we do have a more complete look at the draft's overall picture: who is declaring, whose stock rose through the NCAA tournament and who the WNBA front offices might be zeroing in on.

Here is our final WNBA mock draft before Monday's big night!

Editor's note: This ranking has been updated to reflected the Lynx-Sky trade involving the No. 11 pick.

National champion Paige Bueckers remains the clear No. 1 overall favorite. The biggest question at this point is how keen is she about joining the Dallas Wings franchise? Time will tell if rumors that she doesn't want to go to Dallas hold any weight.

We know the Wings have desperately been looking to add a franchise point guard for some time to complement Arike Ogunbowale. Their offseason moves in free agency speak to their intention to draft Bueckers by adding depth in the frontcourt, defensive playmakers and size.

The 6'1" point guard has been on a tear this postseason and averaged 35 points per game during a three-game stretch in the NCAA tournament, including a 40-point monster performance against Oklahoma. Bueckers led UConn to its 24th Final Four and her first-ever NCAA championship in a true redemption story.

And in less than a week, her name will likely be called as a final addition to a Wings franchise looking to redefine and retool into a competitor.

I didn't move Malonga to the No. 2 spot strictly because Olivia Miles opted to stay in the college game another year. In fact, she was in this spot long before.

When you take a close look at the Seattle Storm roster, the most glaring need is depth on the interior. While you could make an argument for nearly every franchise needing every position the way 2026 free agency will shake out, the Storm have a major opportunity to draft a true unicorn and potential future franchise player in the French forward.

At 6'6", Malonga has elite length, incredible athleticism to go along with her guard-like skills and an ability to play inside or out. She can face up and attack the rim off the dribble and has shown time and time again she can elevate and throw down a one-handed dunk.

The 19-year-old phenom is averaging a double-double at 18.5 points and 11.0 rebounds per game. She's also shooting 56 percent from the floor and 29 percent from the perimeter for LDLC ASVEL Féminin in EuroCup Women this season.

With Olivia Miles returning to college for a final year, it slides just about everyone up a slot on the board. Sonia Citron has consistently sat around the No. 4-5 spots in mocks, and with the Mystics securing back-to-back selections, it feels highly likely that Citron is one of their targets.

She finished the season as one of the steady, consistent backcourt pieces for Notre Dame, averaging 14.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists and shooting a career-best 48 percent from the field.

Citron is highly sought-after because of her size and versatility on both ends of the floor. She can play multiple guard positions, facilitate, pass and score and is a high-level defender. At 6'1", she has the length and physical attributes to impact as a pro right away as one of the top utility wings in this class.

There are a lot of question marks surrounding the direction of the Washington Mystics franchise. It will take time to reestablish this team as a legitimate contender, and the biggest focus in this draft should be acquiring the best assets it can.

Kiki Iriafen is one of the most intriguing prospects in this class with her 6'3" size, her explosiveness in the paint, athleticism and ceiling. Her stock has been on the rise the last month-and-a-half as she elevated her play and got more comfortable at USC following a transfer from Stanford.

Her 36-point outing on 16-of-22 shooting from the field against Mississippi State in the NCAA tournament was a peak performance this season that turned a lot of heads in WNBA front offices.

Iriafen has only begun to scratch the surface with her offensive potential and the versatility she could bring to the WNBA. She can be highly effective in the mid-range, and her ability to face up and attack off the bounce can be expanded upon as well. She'll fit well in a fast-paced, pro system.

Aneesah Morrow was one of the biggest stock-risers through the NCAA tournament—particularly because of her 30-point, 19-rebound double-double to help LSU make it back to the Elite Eight. Morrow's high motor and consistency have her at the forefront of a lot of front office's minds.

You know what you will get out of Morrow night-in and night-out with the effort and heart she brings. She is relentless on the glass and in the paint, making her an anomaly in this class.

The Golden State Valkyries are looking to establish a baseline in their first season in the WNBA. A baseline of culture, consistency and competitiveness. All things that Morrow encompasses to her core.

Her offensive skill set can be expanded upon as a pro. It has not been her role to stretch the floor and make a perimeter impact during her time at LSU, but she is more than capable and can continue to develop in that area as a pro.

At this point in our mock, the Mystics have added a versatile post presence in Iriafen and a versatile two-way wing in Citron. They need a little bit of everything when redefining their franchise, and the No. 6 position becomes about the best available player capable of filling multiple roles.

Insert Shyanne Sellers.

Sellers encompasses versatility at guard. With great size, vision and passing ability, she can play the 1-3 spots and would help establish Washington for the future and give it a potential backcourt asset to build with.

Sellers struggled with a knee injury in the latter part of the season but found ways to battle through and stay impactful for Maryland. In the NCAA tournament she competed 35-40 minutes per night and put up a 28-point performance against Alabama to help Maryland win in double overtime.

Sellers is a competitor whose playmaking, multi-level scoring and size can be utilized in many different ways at the next level.

The Connecticut Sun's roster has been demolished over the offseason, but it was expected. As the franchise undergoes massive changes from top to bottom, having back-to-back picks in this draft poses a great opportunity.

One thing is for sure: There will be point guards available at this point. The question is which one goes first?

The Sun need everything and should consider adding a floor general that they can build with for the future. Georgia Amoore is a true point guard. She's a leader with pro habits and work ethic.

The heart she brings to the court and plays with overrules her smaller stature, as she's always played bigger than her 5'6" frame. She can pick apart a defense better than anyone in the country with her decision-making and playmaking out of a pick-and-roll.

WNBA history tells us that point guards similar to Amoore can carve out a successful path in the league, but it comes down to fit.

Who has a genuine need for a backup that can be molded into an eventual starting WNBA lead guard and sees Amoore with that potential?

Another direction the Sun could go is dipping into their international ties.

Justė Jocytė is a 19-year-old big guard out of Lithuania who has taken the international game by storm. Having played against pros since she was 13 years old, she has been thrown into the fire playing at the highest levels from a young age.

Jocytė has great length at the off-guard position. She's a lefty, a smooth shooter and has an advanced basketball IQ for her age, as she can read and react to defenses at a high level.

She could play for the Sun right away, as she has always had WNBA ambition, or she could be a stash pick. Sun head coach Rachid Meziane is a French native with deep coaching ties to the region and knows her well. Jocytė currently plays alongside Dominique Malonga for LDLC ASVEL Féminin in France, averaging 12.7 points, 2.7 assists and 1.8 steals per game.

You could argue for just about any position of need for the Los Angeles Sparks. I tend to lean on the best available at No. 9. What we do know is the Sparks need dynamic and competitive players, ready to come in and help elevate this franchise back to a playoff team.

Saniya Rivers is fascinating because her versatility allows her to excel at multiple positions. She has great size and athleticism, has all the tools to be an elite WNBA defender with her pressure, and her playmaking makes her intriguing.

The 6'1" wing averaged 12.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game, leading to her selection on the All-ACC first team and the All-Defensive team.

Rivers 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 with a trip to the Final Four and is a proven leader on the court. Her multifaceted skill set and ability to elevate her play in the biggest moments make her stand out in this class.

Rivers puts pressure on defenses in the open floor, has a high motor, rebounds exceptionally well from the guard spot and makes the right pass consistently. She would be a two-way complement in the backcourt for the Sparks.

In one of the greatest redemption stories in college basketball, Hailey Van Lith took the country by storm this season at TCU.

Van Lith's stock rose arguably more than anyone else's as she led TCU to its first-ever Big 12 regular-season championship, its first-ever Big 12 tournament championship, its first-ever 30-plus-win season and a historic Elite Eight run.

It wasn't by chance. Van Lith's leadership and playmaking ability fueled the Horned Frogs from the start of the season. The 5'9" point guard looked in control, poised and showcased her read-and-react offensive skill set all season.

The Chicago Sky need a backup point guard who can learn from veteran Courtney Vandersloot for at least a season. Van Lith would also be reunited with former LSU teammate Angel Reese.

Van Lith played a pro pick-and-roll style all season in Mark Campbell's system at TCU, showcasing her more natural position. She can dictate pace and momentum, deliver pinpoint passes out of a pick-and-roll, can create separation on the perimeter and knock down shots. She knows how to get by a defender and attack a lane, getting herself to the rim.

The Chicago Sky acquired the No. 11 pick on Sunday from the Minnesota Lynx, just 24 hours before the draft. The move makes the Sky one of four teams with multiple first-round picks, with Chicago owning Nos. 10 and 11.

The most glaring concern and immediate need is depth at the point guard spot, which was addressed at No. 10. With this pick, the Sky will have a lot of late-round options, and this could go a lot of different directions, especially with eight of their current vets on the roster slated to be an unrestricted free agent in 2026.

They need this pick to be impactful in time to make the trade worthwhile, but could genuinely make an argument for any position.

I could see Chicago looking to add wing scoring depth and versatility on both ends of the floor, and Sarah Ashlee Barker would address that.

Barker was another giant stock-riser during the NCAA tournament with her 45-point performance against Maryland in the second round. The 6'0" guard refused to be denied and did everything she could to keep her collegiate career going before the Tide fell in double overtime.

Barker is a multi-level scoring wing with great size, strength and headiness. She can get downhill and attack the rim, where she finishes through contact well. She can stretch the floor and demands respect from beyond the three-point line. Barker put up career highs in nearly every statistical category this season at 18.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. She also shot a career-high 38 percent from three this past season.

Her length and athleticism give her all the tools to be a solid pro defender.

Barker could be a great late-first-round option for a Chicago team looking to add toughness, competitiveness, shot-making and a well-rounded versatile piece who could learn under the current Sky veteran wings for a season.

The Dallas Wings could go a couple of different directions with this pick. They could add versatile depth primarily in the backcourt or they could look to go the international stash route.

Additional backcourt depth is the most glaring concern, though, even after adding a franchise playmaker in Bueckers. Serena Sundell is one of the most fascinating prospects on the board due to her height at 6'2", her facilitating and her ability to deliver high-level passes with pinpoint precision. She can play any position on the floor and explore mismatches from the guard spot by playing with her back to the basket.

Sundell led the country in assists this past season at 7.3 per game and is accustomed to playing alongside elite scorers and shotmakers. She knows what it takes to generate high-percentage shots and was the main reason Kansas State was a top-five offense in efficiency.

Sundell could be a great late-first-round option for Dallas to add an elite-level playmaker who can play multiple positions but is a great defender as well.
