It’s Draft Day for the WNBA.
The college season just ended, where we saw Angel Reese talk her talk as she led LSU to a national championship win over Caitlin Clark and Iowa. The women’s basketball calendar now turns to transfer portal season for college, and the draft and preseason for the pros.
Neither Reese or Clark are eligible for the draft this year – and we could even see them skip the draft next year too for a variety of reasons – but this class is still a star-studded one, headlined by South Carolina’s Aliyah Boston, the consensus National Player of the Year in 2022. Joining her is Maryland’s Diamond Miller, Tennessee’s Jordan Horston, Stanford’s Haley Jones, and the nation’s leading scorer in Maddy Siegrist.
We’ll grade each pick in real time as they come in (and we’ll factor in trades when they’re reported), so keep refreshing this page to get our opinions on each of the first 12 selections.
Here are the grades:
