Bueckers isn’t the only national champion featured in this draft. Sania Feagin, who won two national titles with South Carolina, and 2024 NCAA champion Te-Hina Paopao of South Carolina are also expected to go in the first round.
French center Dominique Malonga has been making waves leading up to this year’s draft. The 2024 Olympic Silver medalist is expected to head to Seattle as the No. 2 overall pick.
