Great night for Paige Bueckers, Uconn

Winner: international player

In the further course of the global game, the number of international players in the WNBA and the NBA is also growing. It was a big night for overseas superstars. Three of the top 10 picks in the 2025 WNBA Draft were international players. The French teen sensation Dominique Malonga was the first international player outside the board in second place in the storm and was only the fifth player from France, who was selected in the first round of the WNBA design. Jocytė from Lithuania – Malonga’s teammate in France’s Lyon Asvel Feminin – the number 5 for the Valkyries was collected. Ajša Sivka from Slovenia was picked up in 10th place from Chicago Himmel.

Anastasiia Olairi Kosu from Russia (No. 15; Minnesota Lynx) and Adja Kane from France (No. 38; New York Liberty) were also designed in the second and third round.

Winner: Washington Mystics

After a relatively calm off-season, the new GM Jamila-Wideman and head coach of Mystics Sydney Johnson undertook their first steps to rebuild their future with three fires – Yes, you read the right. Washington is a talent and designed Sonia Citron (No. 3), Kiki Irafen (No. 4) and Georgia Amoore (No. 6) in the first round alone.

Loser: South Carolina

The Gamecocks had to wait a little longer to hear their names. Although South Feagin was projected by South Carolina in the first round, they both fell into the second round. Paopao was selected by the Atlanta Dream with the 18th overall selection. Bree Hall went to the Indiana fever with the 20th overall election, followed by Feagin’s selection of the Los Angeles Sparks in 21st place. It is worth mentioning that a design number does not meet the success of your own success, and the trainer of Hhad Dawn Stale was on site in New York City to be able to cheer on her players.
