WNBA Draft 2025: Paige Bueckers Headlines a Transformational Night for the League
NEW YORK – April 14, 2025 – Let’s be clear: this wasn’t just a draft. This was a recalibration of the WNBA’s identity. A cultural moment disguised as a basketball event. One that spanned three rounds, 38 picks, and a sea of new faces ready to shape the next decade of women's hoops.
The 2025 WNBA Draft, held in New York City’s atmospheric Shed venue, delivered on every front—star power, international intrigue, and full-on franchise overhauls. At the center of it all stood Paige Bueckers, but by the final pick in Round 3, it was evident: this class isn’t about one savior. It’s about waves of reinforcements arriving for a league that’s ready to expand its footprint—and its firepower.
Round 1: Bueckers, Bold Moves, and Big Statements
The Dallas Wings had the honor (and pressure) of selecting Bueckers No. 1 overall. The UConn guard has been a household name since high school, but this next chapter feels different. She’s now the face of a franchise. A player who comes fully packaged with on-court wizardry, a built-in media following, and the poise to carry a league on her back.
“She’s Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, and Sabrina Ionescu all in one—but herself,” a league exec told BallerTube.
Just behind her, the Seattle Storm went global, taking Dominique Malonga, a 6'5" French center with defensive instincts that scouts say are “WNBA-ready yesterday.”
But it was Washington that stole the show with three picks in the top six:
-
Sonia Citron (Notre Dame): A composed, crafty guard with a killer midrange.
-
Kiki Iriafen (USC): The most complete forward in the class.
-
Georgia Amoore (Kentucky): A feisty playmaker with leadership written all over her.
Add to that Golden State’s first-ever pick, Lithuanian guard Justė Jocytė, who already plays with a Euroleague calm far beyond her age, and you have a first round that felt like the opening of a WNBA renaissance.
Round 1 – Full Results Recap:
-
Dallas Wings – Paige Bueckers, G, UConn
-
Seattle Storm – Dominique Malonga, C, France
-
Washington Mystics – Sonia Citron, G, Notre Dame
-
Washington Mystics – Kiki Iriafen, F, USC
-
Golden State Valkyries – Justė Jocytė, G, Lithuania
-
Washington Mystics – Georgia Amoore, G, Kentucky
-
Connecticut Sun – Aneesah Morrow, F, LSU
-
Connecticut Sun – Saniya Rivers, G, NC State
-
Los Angeles Sparks – Sarah Ashlee Barker, G, Alabama
-
Chicago Sky – Ajša Sivka, F, Slovenia
-
Chicago Sky – Hailey Van Lith, G, TCU
-
Dallas Wings – Aziaha James, G, NC State
Congrats to all the draftees — your time is now! One month until tip-off… The future of the game is here #WNBADraft https://t.co/HUHYxP4ZYG

Round 2: Depth, Gems, and International Flair
If the first round was about cornerstones, the second round was about fit and upside. Teams dug into film rooms and international pipelines to find the next sleeper stars.
-
Las Vegas nabbed Aaliyah Nye, a physical two-way guard from Alabama.
-
Golden State added Shyanne Sellers, a Maryland product with major pro upside.
-
Atlanta scooped Te-Hina Paopao, the South Carolina sniper with a high IQ game.
But perhaps the most slept-on haul? Indiana, who grabbed Makayla Timpson and Bree Hall, both SEC-tested and ready to fight for roster spots on day one.
Round 2 – Full Results Recap:
-
Las Vegas Aces – Aaliyah Nye, G, Alabama
-
Dallas Wings – Madison Scott, G, Ole Miss
-
Minnesota Lynx – Anastasiia Olairi Kosu, F, Russia
-
Chicago Sky – Maddy Westbeld, F, Notre Dame
-
Golden State Valkyries – Shyanne Sellers, G, Maryland
-
Atlanta Dream – Te-Hina Paopao, G, South Carolina
-
Indiana Fever – Makayla Timpson, F, Florida State
-
Indiana Fever – Bree Hall, G, South Carolina
-
Los Angeles Sparks – Sania Feagin, F, South Carolina
-
Chicago Sky – Aicha Coulibaly, G, Texas A&M
-
Washington Mystics – Lucy Olsen, G, Iowa
-
Minnesota Lynx – Dalayah Daniels, F, Washington
-
Connecticut Sun – Rayah Marshall, F, USC
Round 3: Where Legacies Begin
Let’s not downplay it—Round 3 matters. Just last year, we watched third-rounders like Jazz Bond and Destiny Slocum find their way onto rosters. This year, expect similar breakout potential.
-
Seattle went deep with Serena Sundell and Madison Conner, two players with clear rotational upside.
-
Dallas added JJ Quinerly, a dynamic scorer from West Virginia, and Aaronette Vonleh, a true post presence from Baylor.
-
New York closed the night with Adja Kane, a French guard with international polish.
If even three of these players crack rotations by July, it’s another win for the league’s talent depth.
Round 3 – Full Results Recap:
-
Seattle Storm – Serena Sundell, G, Kansas State
-
Dallas Wings – JJ Quinerly, G, West Virginia
-
Los Angeles Sparks – Liatu King, F, Notre Dame
-
Seattle Storm – Madison Conner, G, TCU
-
Golden State Valkyries – Kaitlyn Chen, G, UConn
-
Dallas Wings – Aaronette Vonleh, C, Baylor
-
Washington Mystics – Zaay Green, G, Alabama
-
Indiana Fever – Yvonne Ejim, F, Gonzaga
-
Seattle Storm – Jordan Hobbs, G, Michigan
-
Las Vegas Aces – Harmoni Turner, G, Harvard
-
Atlanta Dream – Taylor Thierry, F, Ohio State
-
Minnesota Lynx – Aubrey Griffin, F, UConn
-
New York Liberty – Adja Kane, G, France
Final Word:
This wasn’t a draft—it was a declaration. A signal that the WNBA is not just growing; it’s leveling up. From superstar names like Bueckers to under-the-radar hoopers grinding for their shot, this class brought star power, skill, and serious depth.
"You’re going to look back at this class in five years," one GM told BallerTube, "and realize this was the year everything changed."
So whether you’re a scout, a fan, or an athlete chasing that same dream, one thing’s for sure:
