Sixteen teams remain in the women’s NCAA Tournament, with a number of stars, including South Carolina’s Aliyah Boston, Maryland’s Diamond Miller and Villanova’s Maddy Siegrist, among them. Those three, and plenty of other tournament participants, will undergo one of the fastest transitions in all of sports — saying goodbye to their college teammates, signing agents, interviewing with WNBA teams, preparing to move out of their college housing and hearing their names called to become professional basketball players all within a few weeks.
The 2023 WNBA Draft will take place April 10, just eight days after the national championship. Four WNBA general managers, an assistant general manager and one additional front office executive shared their thoughts with The Athletic before the tournament about the upcoming draft class. They were granted anonymity to allow them to speak openly. On Thursday, we’ll run another installment that includes their unvarnished takes on players such as Elizabeth Kitley, Diamond Miller and Maddy Siegrist. Following the tournament, we’ll release our final mock draft as well as a story with scouting on the potential picks in the 2024 WNBA Draft.
