2025 WNBA Draft Stock Watch: Olivia Miles Shines & Kiki Iriafen Struggles In Top 10 Showdown

[@ABxx2011]

Olivia is definitely the Sparks pick at this point.

[@faflafaflev3899]

For me personally Citron draft stock went up way more then Miles(Kiki not showing boost it way more ), coz she locked up Juju, did the small things and increase her ability to earn minutes in wnba straight away. In wnba as rookie Defense is so key, so her performance made all scouts/coaches love what they saw ,trust.

[@BryantBrothers-gm1qx]

Cintron was pretty damn good

[@angeldominguez6764]

She was good but juju got by her pretty consistently, notre dame just played fantastic help and built a wall every game

[@RustyLou18]

And I can't wait to see Sony lock up Paige B 😂

[@BryantBrothers-gm1qx]

@@RustyLou18 paige doesn't get locked up by ANYBODY bruh

[@usveteran9893]

I am hoping that the Indiana Fever get Sonia Citron.

[@RustyLou18]

They don't deserve her.

[@usveteran9893]

@@RustyLou18 Can you explain why?

[@grod6026]

​@@RustyLou18 You're an idiot she would be a perfect fit over there

[@nono-mu9rw]

this sucks for the sky, because miles turns out to be exactly the player they want, but she's so good that she'll be gone before chicago can pick

[@HmmmAreYouSureAboutThat]

The issue is that a true PG is few and far between in the WNBA so many teams can use that type of player.

[@iangrimm]

As a Sparks fan I hope the Sparks trade the pick to the Sky and get a pick back in 26. Would be the best resolution for all involved.

[@Qaplqwpo]

Kiki’s definitely a system player, when she was at Stanford she got a lot of touches at usc she barely gets any and when she does she feels the need to Chuck it up

[@everybodylovesjuju12]

Exactly she got no plays at Stanford. She’s at usc number 2 option and she can’t handle it yet. Kiki got outplayed by a freshman. Nothing to do with Juju.

[@yslcologneconnoisseur7473]

Not sure why Kiki went to USC to begin with. JuJu Watkins has no interest in passing the basketball unless she absolutely has to.

[@everybodylovesjuju12]

Please Kiki better be glad she came to USC what is Stanford ranked? Number 2 Juju averages 5 assists again and how many missed shots off her passes and or the team passes did Kiki miss. Don’t blame juju when she shrunk in front of the spotlight. I was at the game she has a bad game. Sorry Kiki I had to answer this juju troll.

[@yslcologneconnoisseur7473]

@ Not trolling JuJu. The stats are what they are. If you’re at the games, you know what I’m saying is true. She consistently takes terrible shots without even looking for her teammates.

[@natureredux1957]

So you admit that you NEVER watched the NCAA tournament game when UCONN faced off against USC. Thanks for admitting that. Now sure why you go on the internet pretending.

[@yslcologneconnoisseur7473]

@ you can say whatever you want in order to cope .. but go cry to someone who cares, I don’t! 😂😂

[@HmmmAreYouSureAboutThat]

I think she liked being close to home and the opportunity to get more attention/marketing next to Juju. I don’t think she was thinking about coaching, development or overall basketball fit.

[@ByronKeith-m6q]

USC gave kikki a lot of NIL shes been hanging out its obvious olivia miles has been working on her game 😊

[@everybodylovesjuju12]

I had Janiah Barker high on my draft too for all the same reasons.

[@chrisstrawn3396]

Great content as always. I was kind of annoyed with Hidalgo cause Kate Koval was working her ass off in the post and she just wouldn't throw her the ball inside. But at the end of the day I cant argue with the result. Notre Dame whooped their ass so I guess she made the right call.

[@DT_Brown]

That’s kinda the ND experience watching Hidalgo, she misses wide open teammates all the time in favor of taking a tough shot herself but so many of them go in that no one really cares lol. Shes obviously a really great player but her court vision is not on Miles level

[@jibojones]

The Sparks coach was at the game… she is going to want Miles with the 2nd pick

[@denisebailey3226]

So was the Sky coach and Miles wants to play with Angel.

[@jibojones]

@ I didn’t know. Thanks for that information. A lot of teams would love to add her to there roster

[@dorricowilliams2955]

The Sparks will have a tough choice with that #2 pick, but we'll see how ncaa season and tournament goes. I will say Sparks need a point guard more than a big because they had a lot of turnovers this past season.

[@BryantBrothers-gm1qx]

Agreed

[@grod6026]

Not really they should take miles they need a point guard

[@jamesjr232009]

Life is harder for Kiki when you’re being doubled and are facing the other team’s best post defender. She misses Cam

[@faflafaflev3899]

and on top of that Brink is willing passer so she would pass her the ball and she will be open or miss match coz 2 defedners+the best enemy defender was on Brink, therefore generating easy points and good looks for Kiki.

[@georgia_amoorefan]

I feel like a lot of people aren’t taking this into account with this matchup. Notre Dame is so good defensively and they put multiple people on JuJu and Kiki the whole game, now everyone’s overreacting saying they’re both overrated it’s crazy

[@jibojones]

@@georgia_amoorefan it’s just one game. She had a bad game against a good team

[@jamesjr232009]

@@georgia_amoorefan I think she’ll be a good W player but I do think playing next to Cam gave her a lot of freedom which maybe has rated just a little bit higher than she should be, but we’ll see how this season goes.

[@angeldominguez6764]

She’s transfer to usc to play with the best scorer in the nation, life is supposed to be easier lol

[@ayabellabhojwani24]

Sparks, don't mess this up. Draft Olivia. 💜💛

[@DT_Brown]

Citron shot will fix itself soon trust. I think it’s amazing how her defense has developed. As we all know she is not the most athletic person out there so the fact that she did the best job any individual player has ever managed against Juju, and last year the best defense anyone’s done on Paige, is a testament to EFFORT. You are spot on with your assessment of her consistent unselfish effort

[@amywilliams1443]

Kiki could shine because Cam took most of the heat and was an elite passing big, Kiki doesn’t have that at USC. Kiki has never been a great defender, Cam was the lock down defender that hid a lot of other players weaknesses.

[@amywilliams1443]

HVL? What do you think about the season she’s putting together?

[@usveteran9893]

Hasn't played many top-ranked teams yet and will only play six all season. So, I expect the stats she is getting. She went there to boost her draft status.

[@Velly2g]

The main person everyone should be talking about is Te-Hina Paopao. She should be a top 5 pick because she can come in and help immediately with 3pt shooting/ ball movement.

[@RustyLou18]

TRUTH ❤

[@everybodylovesjuju12]

Hunter you did a good job exposing Kiki I was there and you are right. Hopefully this slow start but she tried to show the W scouts something she’s not and it hurt us. Kiki just play your game stop trying new things.

[@vonte16]

Miles snatched that #2 draft spot from Kiki for everyone to see

[@ekstor1]

She looks amazing. I see no way that Kiki should be drafted ahead of Miles... even if she returns to form. Olivia is special.

[@everybodylovesjuju12]

She won’t be drafted ahead of Miles also because the Sparks have the second pick and don’t need Kiki they need Al Olivia so that’s the second reason that Olivia’s stock went up.

[@geronimocruz9123]

​@@ekstor1 Very special

[@RustyLou18]

​@@ekstor1I see no reason for Paige B to be #1😅

[@CC22ball]

Yeah things are getting interesting

[@QuitaLovesSports]

Another fire video Hunter, yea Olivia is a solid #2 if her 3s can keep going in. Also I think KiKis issue is coaching, even without Cam in the game last season we saw more from KiKi than we have seen this year. I think Gotlib has a lot to work on in terms of coaching Also Barker was awesome this weekend, BUT I need yo see her consistently make an impact on the offense and defensive end, she doesn’t need to score 12+ she just needs to make an impact

[@HunterCruse14]

QUITA! Yes, agreed. I wish I mentioned how they've used Kiki more in the low post, which... I kinda just don't agree with. She's so much better from the elbow

[@ByronKeith-m6q]

Kikii not going number 2

[@SDotCole]

Kiki keeps falling on my mock draft list 😩. Super proud of Janiah!

[@seanstroman6087]

Citron or Barker for the Fever🤔 Miles is a Los Angeles Spark (Sky fans on crashout watch💀)

[@cathygregory3443]

So agree!

[@moyosoredada3109]

The Sparks were never going to take Kiki. They got too many bigs already. Cam, Dearica, Rickea, Rae Burrell, Azurae

[@RustyLou18]

Rae is not a big.

[@moyosoredada3109]

@RustyLou18 she's over 6'1 which means she can play the 3 and 4. I'm using big in this context to refer to frontcourt players. Kiki is a 4, so Rae is another player that shows how deep the Sparks are for those 3 spots

[@DarrellFarr-f8x]

I'm so mad, because now that everyone is finally realizing how good Olivia Miles is, the Sparks are threatening to snatch her away from Chicago. That's so not fair!😠 Young Mr. Cruse, can you consider doing a video of the "Top 15 3pt shooters" in the upcoming WNBA draft? That would be helpful to some of us WBB fans. 💯

[@everybodylovesjuju12]

Kiki’s should and can be dominating this league right now. In fact USC needs her to and if she does we can go final four.

[@everybodylovesjuju12]

I can agree with more than Kiki was under performing but she was the main reason cause we really needed her in the front court. But that was no blow out. With the return of Kennedi it will be a different game.

[@liarcheckmate701]

Honesty I didn't love the transfer for Kiki. I think she would have benefitted more from continuity and the shooters that Stanford's got, in terms of her stock. But, that said, if she's not 2, she's 3 or 4. I can't see her falling off too much.

[@clampsgiveup9235]

Banger. Olivia is the 2nd pick. Simple

[@RustyLou18]

Tehina Pao Pao will be #1 pick!

[@mariusdimilano9529]

No way KIKI be part of LA Sparks roster with that performance she showed last saturday against ND.

[@natureredux1957]

So basically you want to throw away her entire performances last year for the Entire Season plus in the NCAA tournament off of ONE blanking regular season game.

[@mariusdimilano9529]

​​@@natureredux1957I never said that. I'm talking about the 2nd spot as 2nd pick overall in the upcoming WNBA draft.

LA Taking Miles

[@albathoughtsofficial]

Lauren Betts would be top 10 pick...if she declared...And if UCLA makes the Final Four she would be Top 5 pick...her conditioning is beyond elite...

[@Deontiptop92]

I don’t think Barker comes out this year. I think Chicago would do good with Citron. Carter, Citron, Onyuwere, Reese, Cardosa would put up good defensive numbers.

She wants to play with Angel.

[@iangrimm]

Miles and Kiki are not even the best players on their own teams - and both might not even be the SECOND best - and both will be role players at best in the W. Hope the Sparks trade the pick to Chicago who seems to really want Miles. But I REALLY hope Betts or Flau'jae declare. That is the Sparks ONLY hope.
