Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Cameron Brink, and numerous others contribute to making this WNBA draft one of the most captivating and eagerly awaited events in recent memory.

Sky select Angel Reese with No. 7 overall pick in WNBA Draft - Chicago Sun-Times

As the WNBA Draft approaches, there’s widespread anticipation regarding Caitlin Clark’s destination, widely anticipated to be the Indiana Fever with the top overall pick. However, there’s considerable intrigue surrounding the fate of Angel Reese, one of the most prominent figures in college basketball.

As the WNBA Draft unfolds tonight, numerous speculations are emerging regarding the landing spots for top-tier players.

According to projections from The New York Post, Caitlin Clark is slated to be the first pick, while Angel Reese is predicted to fall to the Chicago Sky, who hold the 7th draft pick.

 

You might be thinking: “What?!? How is Reese so low — she put up monster stats, was the best player on a title team, and is one of the faces of the sport!” Well, there are also pressing questions about how Reese’s game will translate: Can she continue her signature offensive rebounding rate (6.0 per game over two LSU seasons) against pros? Will her awkward-angle finishing and utter lack of shooting remove her as a scoring threat? What about that mystery midseason absence? The Sky, who traded up one pick into this spot Sunday morning, have a new head coach in Teresa Weatherspoon who has mentored Zion Williamson and a need for more Q rating.

Aside from the New York Post, other projections have Reese going as high as number five to the Dallas Wings.
Reese was one of college basketball’s highest earners this season in NIL. Her final game showed just how valuable she can be as she poured in 17 points and 20 rebounds against the Hawkeyes in what was a loss in the Elite Eight.
Following her final game, she got emotional about the threats and emotional distress for the last year ever since she was thrust into the spotlight when the Tigers defeated the Hawkeyes in the National Championship game.
