The WNBA's first round will have 12 picks rather than 13, because Las Vegas was docked a first-rounder due to a violation of league rules. Dallas has four first-round picks (No. 1, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 12) while Connecticut also has multiple picks (No. 7 and No. 8). Here is how it might go:
1. Dallas Wings: Paige Bueckers, 6-foot guard, Connecticut.
As much a no-brainer as Indiana taking Caitlin Clark last year.
2. Seattle Storm: Dominique Malonga, 6-6 center, France.
Skilled big who can block a ton of shots. Played in the Olympics.
3. Washington Mystics: Sonia Citron, 6-1 guard, Notre Dame.
Four-year starter for the Irish.
4. Washington Mystics: Kiki Iriafen, 6-3 forward, USC.
An 18-points-per-game scorer who bumped it up when teammate Juju Watkins was injured in the tournament.
5. Golden State Valkyries: Shyanne Sellers, 6-2 guard, Maryland.
Three-time all-Big Ten Conference player who can handle both guard positions
6. Washington Mystics: Juste Jocyte, 6-2 guard, Lithuania.
Combo guard played with Malonga in French League.
7. Connecticut Sun: Aneesah Morrow, 6-1 forward, LSU.
A double-double player all four years with LSU
8. Connecticut Sun: Saniya Rivers, 6-1 guard, North Carolina State.
Great athlete who can defend multiple positions.
9. Los Angeles Sparks: Georgia Amoore, 5-6 guard, Kentucky.
Perhaps the best facilitator in the draft.
10. Chicago Sky: Hailey Van Lith, 5-9 guard, TCU.
Stock rose during strong NCAA tournament run. Also played for LSU and Louisville.
11. Minnesota Lynx: Sarah Ashlee Barker, 6-0 guard, Alabama.
She can score. Remember the 45 she had against Maryland last month?
12. Dallas Wings: Te-Hina Paopao, 5-9 guard, South Carolina.
Strong three-point shooter.
