The 2025 WNBA Draft is done, and the next generation of WNBA stars have learned where they’ll start their pro careers.
UConn star Paige Bueckers was the unquestioned No. 1 pick for the Dallas Wings, and after that, the story of the first round was the trio of European players headlined by France’s Dominique Malonga, the No. 2 pick of the Seattle Storm. NC State also saw two of its players drafted (Saniya Rivers and Aziaha James), while TCU’s Hailey Van Lith went to the Chicago Sky at No. 11.
