Another major trade has shaken up the 2025 WNBA Draft order. Late Sunday, the Chicago Sky sent the No. 3 pick to the Washington Mystics, along with a 2027 first-round swap and a 2027 second-round pick, in exchange for veteran guard Ariel Atkins.
Thanks to this deal, the Mystics now own three of the top-six picks in this year’s draft, which will not only set them up nicely for their rebuild, but also give them tremendous power on draft night. Their decisions at Nos. 3, 4 and 6 will determine how the rest of the first round will transpire.
At this point, Paige Bueckers and Olivia Miles seem locked in as the top two picks, but what will the Mystics do? With yet another new draft order in place, here’s a look at what might happen come April with CBS Sports’ 2025 WNBA Mock Draft 3.0.
