Paige Bueckers from UConn and Aneesah Morrow from LSU are expected to be among the top picks in the 2025 WNBA Draft.
As the WNBA draft approaches, attention turns towards the prospects for the 2025 draft class.
While there may not be a clear standout like Caitlin Clark this time around, there’s no shortage of talented players to watch. Here’s a look at the top 10 prospects for the 2025 WNBA draft.
Top WNBA Draft prospects of 2025
10. Georgia Amoore, Kentucky
Amoore, a two-time All-ACC selection, has opted to join coach Kenny Brooks at Kentucky.
During her tenure at Virginia Tech, Amoore has racked up an impressive 1,853 points and 656 assists. With 330 career 3-pointers under her belt, she presents an enticing prospect for WNBA teams.
Hailing from Australia, Amoore earned AP All-American accolades last season. Her transition to SEC competition is expected to further hone her skills, positioning her as one of the premier scoring guards in the 2025 WNBA draft pool.
9. Hailey Van Lith, School Unknown
Van Lith appeared poised to join the 2024 draft class a year ago, having excelled at Louisville for three seasons before transferring to LSU to lead the top-ranked national team.
However, her performance at LSU fell short of expectations, leading her to enter the transfer portal once again. Speculation suggests that Mississippi State could be her next destination.
Regardless of where she lands, expectations are high for Van Lith to recapture her Louisville form. With 1,553 points scored in three seasons there, she has demonstrated her scoring prowess. If she can replicate her past success, Van Lith is poised to be a first-round pick in the 2025 Draft.
8. Te-Hina Paopao, South Carolina
Following three successful seasons at Oregon, the five-foot-nine Paopao made the move to South Carolina.
Her contribution was pivotal in the Gamecocks’ flawless season, culminating in a national championship victory, where she averaged 11.0 points per game and 3.7 assists per game. Paopao notably elevated her 3-point shooting to an impressive 47%.
Paopao is positioned as a versatile WNBA combo guard, adept at both ball-handling and off-ball play. With her scoring ability and strong leadership qualities, she is highly regarded as a probable first-round pick in the 2025 draft.
7. Rori Harmon, Texas
Despite standing at just five-foot-six, Harmon is recognized as one of the premier pure point guards in collegiate basketball.
During her tenure at Texas, she has maintained impressive averages of 11.7 points per game and 6.3 assists per game over three years. Harmon’s progression has been evident, particularly in the 2023-24 season, where she boasted an average of 7.8 assists per game and improved her perimeter shooting to 32% on 3-point attempts. Additionally, Harmon has amassed an impressive total of 195 career steals.
With another year of experience and development at Texas, Harmon is poised to step into the WNBA as a starting point guard from day one. Her stellar performance makes her a highly probable first-round pick in the 2025 WNBA draft.
6. Sonia Citron, Notre Dame
A six-foot-one guard, Citron is a tenacious scorer and rebounder. After three seasons at Notre Dame, she’s averaging 14.4 ppg and 5.9 rpg. Citron is a 37% 3-point shooter and an 83% foul shooter. Citron has been a two-time All-ACC pick.
Citron’s all-around skills and size will make an intriguing WNBA option. Don’t be surprised if she’s a mid-first-round pick a year from now.
5. Kiki Iriafen, Stanford
The six-foot-three forward took a massive step forward in 2023-24. As a sophomore, Iriafen averaged just 6.7 ppg. But in her junior campaign, she averaged 19.4 ppg and 11.0 rpg. She improved from a 65% foul shooter to a 77% shooter.
If Iriafen has another level of improvement, she could end up at the top of the 2025 Draft. As things stand, she’s one of the best post players in the 2025 WNBA Draft class. Kiki Iriafen will be a likely first-round pick next spring.
4. Olivia Miles, Notre Dame
A tenacious lead guard, Miles is a likely WNBA star. After playing in just six games as a freshman, Miles has had a pair of All-ACC campaigns.
For her career, she is averaging 13.6 ppg, 6.8 assists per game and 6.2 rebounds per game. The five-foot-10 standout is a superb floor general.
Miles still needs to polish her perimeter game. She’s only a 25% career 3-point shooter and only a 71% foul shooter. But her leadership, intensity and all-around game projects remarkably well to the next level.
3. Azzi Fudd, UConn
Fudd is becoming the Bill Walton of women’s basketball – a massive star who is unable to stay healthy.
In three seasons at UConn, Fudd has only played in 42 total games. She missed a chunk of her freshman season with a foot injury, more than half of her sophomore season with knee injuries, and all but two games with a torn ACL and medial meniscal tear.
Fudd does have next-level skills. She’s managed 13.1 ppg in her limited career. Fudd is a 39% 3-point shooter and a 91% free-throw shooter.
If she can play something near a complete season, she could be a high pick in the 2025 WNBA draft a year from now.
2. Aneesah Morrow, LSU
The six-foot-one Morrow spent two seasons starring at DePaul before transferring to LSU for the 2023-24 season.
She has scored 2,178 collegiate points and grabbed 1,229 rebounds. After leading the Big East in steals twice, Morrow was third in the SEC in steals last year.
While Morrow can diversify her game (she’s a 24% 3-point shooter), she is more of a finished product than her teammate from last season, Angel Reese.
Morrow is a likely high pick in the 2025 WNBA draft and may even go first.
1 Paige Bueckers, UConn
Bueckers’s only weakness is having played just 2 1/2 years of basketball in the past four seasons.
She missed the entire 2022-23 season due to injury and also missed about half of the 2021-22 season. She was the Naismith Award winner as a freshman and was even better in 2023-24.
Bueckers has scored 1,683 points in her UConn career. She’s a career 43% 3-point shooter. She finished second in the Big East in steals twice and also finished second in the league in blocked shots in 2023-24. As long as she’s healthy, Bueckers is the next WNBA star. She’s the early favorite for the 2025 WNBA draft top pick.
