With the WNBA season set to tip off on May 14, the ESPN experts came together for another fantasy women’s basketball mock draft. Who was picked in the first two rounds? And where did Caitlin Clark, Cameron Brink and other notable rookies come off the board?
We used the ESPN default settings — a six-team league with nine players per team and the following scoring system:
Point = 1 Fantasy Point
Rebound = 1 FP
Assist = 1 FP
Made 3-pointer = 1 FP
Steal = 2 FP
Block = 2 FP
