The 2025 WNBA Draft is guard-heavy, with the top two picks expected to be backcourt players. The frontcourt pool might be a little shallower, but it has huge upside, even if that potential could take a little longer to realize. Perimeter players in this draft are primarily collegians, but many of the bigs are international, which means they’re younger and have longer runways to develop or even get to the WNBA.
Nevertheless, expect players such as Dominique Malonga to become household names sooner rather than later. How Malonga and her international cohorts stack up against NCAA stars such as USC’s Kiki Iriafen and LSU’s Aneesah Morrow is the subject of today’s scouting exercise.
