Correction: Dawn Staley did state that she doesn't have any "WNBA Starters" at the moment. My apologies Gamecocks Family ♥

[@Dunybrook]

The draft is so ridiculously deep this year. They almost need to add a full fourth round to make room for all these talented prospects. Great video.

[@DavisSportsReport]

Couldn't agree more! Thank you for watching

[@anthonytaylor7928]

Don't make a difference not many gonna get a legit chance to make a team anyway

[@SidneyWhite-x5s]

Morrow can play for me any time, and I'm a South Carolina fan!

[@ToddLikey]

Ta-Hina PaoPao!!! Dawn prepares her players for the next level

[@MichaelWhite-wy2kn]

Yes, Dawn's system works!

[@bryanhampton4861]

No

[@allenharrington1551]

It does.​@bryanhampton4861

[@YardlineYammer]

I'd love to see Georgia Amoore get picked for the W! She'd be great wherever she lands!

[@SportsTymeStories-h8x]

Have no fear, she is 100% getting picked.

[@rarerock5020]

The like the raw talent hobbs. Would like to see if she has a post game because she never seems to post up. She's tall enough to play down there and if she has a fade away she should be using it.

[@DavisSportsReport]

Great point!

[@eleutherasea]

Van Lith's a second round player.

[@julieclark1922]

100%!!

[@LoveFreedom-iq3si]

Morrow will be in the top 10. Dallas will take Paige Bueckers for basketball reasons and will bring eyeballs and buts in the seats. LA needs a floor general, Chicago has Reese, and Washington has Edwards... Morrow would be great at the 5th pick for the Golden State Valkyries.

[@QuickHittinEm]

Olivia Miles aka Magic Miles!

[@_M....]

Rivers over Sellers don't make a lick of sense.

[@WildflowerLife9834]

Sedona needs to come on out of college! She's making a career of it now!

[@DavisSportsReport]

LOL. Yeah, 25 is up there for a college student playing against 18 year olds.

[@boondoggle4820]

I don’t know but it seems like more WNBA mock drafts are based more on who shows up in media narratives and less on what they’re actually doing on the basketball court. I also don’t like the bias against shorter players. If someone is effective it doesn’t matter how tall they are.

[@anthonytaylor7928]

Soo true

[@SportsTymeStories-h8x]

Some YT Channels are scared to talk about Prince because of what may or may not have happened off Court. Otherwise she is definitely 100%, a Lottery Pick type top talent.

[@DavisSportsReport]

Right! I'm not sure how much that's going to impact her draftability

[@sethtenrec]

@@DavisSportsReport should help her draftability, in my opinion. Isn’t the WNBA about getting more equal for women?

[@DavisSportsReport]

@sethtenrec I see you've got jokes 😆. If Sedona is coming out I think she'll get drafted. I just saw the trade Seattle Storm made, they could absolutely use a big like Sedona Prince!

[@davidwaskul2821]

The reporting on the upcoming 2025 draft is excellent.

[@DavisSportsReport]

Thank you so much for watching

[@buddyroe7299]

Dawn never said she didn't have anyone who was WNBA ready. She said she didn't have anyone who could go to W and START.

[@SportsTymeStories-h8x]

Well Raven Johnson is a WNBA starter right NOW. And as sad as some of the starters are in the WNBA, pretty sure some of her other players could do the same.

[@shawndellmatthews2647]

@buddyroe7299 thank you for the correction. If you are going to report it please report it accurately. FACTS!

[@_M....]

@@SportsTymeStories-h8x lol no she's not.

[@QuickHittinEm]

@@_M....Raven is interesting

[@DavisSportsReport]

@buddyroe7299 Thanks so much for the correction! You are absolutely right, and I watched that video when she said it an misspoke. Thanks again

[@dashDialogue]

You didn't mention Senior Aziaha James at NC State. Another well-rounded player and she's top scorer for NC State

[@DavisSportsReport]

Yes, she will be coming out this year as well. She's a great player also! So many good players in this class.

[@jacobnyhart6862]

I think Sania Feagin is worth a closer look, and will get that closer look from WNBA scouts the more the season goes on. Since Watkins went out with the torn ACL, Feagin has burst out onto the scene and taken over with marked improvements in every stat on both sides of the ball. She is an SC product, so the numbers aren't gawdy on a national level, but they are part of that same Dawn Staley program that is going to land Paopao in the W.

[@SheLovesBB]

You forgot Ajae Petty from Ohio State Buckeyes! She's a beast!

[@DavisSportsReport]

Yes, and Ohio State has been great so far, with Ajae helping them get the wins

[@DontMessWithKaye]

Hailey Van Lith is mostly hype, but you're right, the investment has already been made, so I would be shocked if she doesn't get picked in the 1st round and NO she doesn't deserve it, there are much better players on this list!

[@boondoggle4820]

All hype? Averaging 18.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 6.0 assists while shooting 45.4 percent from the field is “all hype”? Give me a break. She had one bad year at LSU and people want to write her off. She’s one of the best guards in the league at least when it comes to offense, though she’s highly questionable on defense.

[@DavisSportsReport]

@boondoggle4820 I agree, she's a remarkable ball handler, but can absolutely use some work on the defensive end. Something she can work on.

[@jaythompson5938]

Why did RUN from the COMPETITION in the SEC & go to play in the weaker BIG 12? Did U watch 👀 her play last summer in the Olympics? I think 🤔 she is a 3rd round selection, will be a bench player or maybe waived after training camp!!

[@woodrowwilliams6879]

You forgot about Flau'jae Johnson. She is also eligible.

[@SylColecchio]

She has not officially declared for draft

[@julieclark1922]

@@SylColecchio A lot of the players in the video have not "officially" declared. it's too soon. many LSU fans think Flau'jae is leaning toward going pro in 2025.

[@earlcabbel5523]

Watching Azzi this season I would love to see her come back one more year at UConn. Azzi is not fully back and the additional year would hopefully get her back to 100% The downside would be if she gets hurt again.

[@DavisSportsReport]

Couldn't agree more

[@WildflowerLife9834]

I agree! I think if she can stay healthy, one more year would be her best bet.

[@DontMessWithKaye]

I think Aneesah Morrow should go 1st

[@lisareynolds9799]

She has the highest ceiling. I think Paige is overrated actually.

[@UncleOodoo]

I agree. AM has the highest basketball IQ of everyone in the draft. She is a total #baller. The problem is the W doesn’t see potential. They only see physical stats. The fact AM is 6’-1” will scare most teams. They will consider her a between player. If she was 6’-3”, she would go #1.

[@_M....]

@@lisareynolds9799 Paige could end up being a bust in the W.

[@sethtenrec]

I think Miles should be #1 overall. Good point guards are so valuable.

[@Jimmie-e5e]

I think not

[@boondoggle4820]

These HVL haters are absurd. She’s been one of my favorite players to watch ever since I fairly recently discovered women’s basketball. She had one bad year at LSU and people want to write her off. She’s averaging 18.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 6.0 assists while shooting 45.4 percent from the field, which ranks her as one of the best guards in women’s college basketball at least when it comes to offense, though she remains questionable on defense. That’s something that she can continue to work on. She’s one of the most exciting players to watch on offense, especially her midrange game, and she emerged as the best offensive player on her team in the Olympics playing alongside all stars like Rhyne Howard. But all that people remember is her one bad season at LSU, smh.

[@Ludachris610]

She is great I wish she was 4 or 5 inches taller. Plays great for her size.

[@darrylanderson4764]

Thank you very much for your enlightening entertainment 🎉

[@DavisSportsReport]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@eleutherasea]

Depending on need.. after Paige Bueckers. LA Sparks needs a floor general, I would say Oliver Miles goes second. Prince is 25??? She for sure needs to come on out of college 😅

[@brandonleemoss]

You forgot Flaujae is eligible 💛💜😏😏😏✨💜💛💜💛

[@cathyshaw1067]

She's on a junior. Next year is her year😊

[@DavisSportsReport]

I'm thinking Flaujae will come back next year, wouldn't make since for her to come out when they will be getting higher salaries in 2026.

[@brandonleemoss]

@DavisSportsReport following that logic nobody is coming out this year 🤣 Plus I don't think she cares that much I mean she's already a millionaire 🤣 I think if she makes it to the final four in my be another story coach Mulkey already implied that this is her last year a few months back

[@DavisSportsReport]

@brandinleemoss Good point, she is already a millionaire.. but to your other point, some of those ladies have to come out. They don't have to go Pro, but they gotta get the H outta college basketball 😉

[@brandonleemoss]

@DavisSportsReport yeah fair enough is Latson eligible, I heard somebody says she might be 😯

[@moptopmoptop8]

Great Break Down 👌 Very Detail...

[@DavisSportsReport]

Glad it was helpful!

[@moptopmoptop8]

@DavisSportsReport 2025 will be a Special Draft!!! The Diamond 💎 player in the WNBA!!! Olivia Miles!!! Play a OLD SCHOOL GAME LIKE DETROIT PISTONS JOE DUMARS!!!

[@DavisSportsReport]

Yes! Olivia Miles can be the Captain of any team and make everyone around her better.

[@djbabyboy1200x]

This should be easy Paige Bueckers follow by Aneesah Morrow.

[@DavisSportsReport]

We will see, some think Olivia Miles might go second. Only time will tell. Thanks for watching.

[@sethtenrec]

I think three years from now you’re gonna look back on those three players and same Miles is the best.

[@lisareynolds9799]

Is Betts eligible? She would be #1

[@SportsTymeStories-h8x]

Yes. But rumor is that she wants to play with her Sister next year that will coming to UCLA.

[@DavisSportsReport]

@SportsTypmeStories-h8x Yes, that was our understanding as well.

[@sethtenrec]

Betts, absolutely #1 if she comes out

[@paulsamora1348]

No different than any other class, less than half will make a roster.

[@WildflowerLife9834]

Correct! There's only 13 teams, and 3 rounds.. plus there will be players coming from overseas so the will take up a spot. Plus there are salary caps, so teams can't keep everyone. Somebody has to go, the new or the old, and it seems like its more often The New

[@rebradley4]

Morrow should be top 5.

[@Apex042]

Playground Paige Buckets Bueckers will be the #1 draft pick without question. Buckets is the ultimate team player. GO HUSKIES!!!

[@Mark-z2j]

No Deja Kelly??? Second round at least..

[@DavisSportsReport]

Dang! I forgot about her. I agree 2nd round for her! She will absolutely get drafted! Thanks for the reminder

[@MichaelWhite-wy2kn]

That CBS Sports Mock Draft is stupid! And yeah, Sedona should negotiate her salary coming in so she can get more next year.

[@DavisSportsReport]

Tell us how you really feel :D

[@YouMoreBestMed5737]

You’ve forgot about Payton Verhulst and Raegan Beers of OU

[@DavisSportsReport]

yes, I forgot Payton, but I didn't realize Raegan met the requirements. Thank you for the comment.

[@WildflowerLife9834]

Raegan Beers will make a WNBA team better! She should've been on this list for sure!

[@JoseOrtiz-m7v2g]

What about Sydney Parish from Indiana

[@DavisSportsReport]

Your right. Not sure how she wasn't on the radar! Point, Rebounds, Blocks, and Steals!

[@OriginalJohnDoeFakersBeware]

Requirements stated are the last WNBA collective bargaining agreement that restricted players in the USA to be 22 while allowing players outside the USA to be drafted at 19. New CBA in negotiation right now could change the rules to allow players within USA to be drafted sooner. Potentially, this year's sophomore and junior classes could be suddenly eligible if CBA were agreed upon before this year's draft. That sudden of a change might be a bit jarring to the college women's game given that we are talking about multiple sophomores and juniors exiting their teams with no advance warning to their coaches and teammates to be first and second round draft picks instead. I think there are some legal issues with the allowed age differences and that the new CBA needs to be consistent each year in having domestic and international players eligible at the same ages but I think it should delay lowering USA age requirement (so raise the international one for a year) and keep going with more league expansion plans. This gives everyone time to prepare for the change and because I think the league needs more roster spots before it lets in a flood of players with 2 or less years of college playing experience -- but just as in the men's game, there are some female players who may be ready to enter the league sooner than the average player.

[@sethtenrec]

Can you imagine Watkins and Hidalgo in this draft!

[@OriginalJohnDoeFakersBeware]

​@@sethtenrecJuJu would go first, pushing every current potential draftee down one pick. Hidalgo would go high pushing down a lot of picks in the first round (there are only 12 first round picks). In addition to them imagine adding Audi Crooks, Madison Booker, and Sarah Strong among potential others to the draft board. If I understand the draft rules (as you have stated them) both Betts and Flau'jae can declare for the draft this year if the draft rules stay the same and if they renounce any further college eligibility because both will be 22 before 2025 is over.

[@DavisSportsReport]

I didn't hear about that, but yes, that would be WILD, and I don't think the older players in the WNBA would appreciate it.

[@OriginalJohnDoeFakersBeware]

@DavisSportsReport A very good point. It would push out some current players into early retirement which is another reason why the CBA is more likely to have a raise in the age international players can be drafted than it is to lower the age for USA players, at least for this first year of the new CBA. But the league will be adding a second expansion team next year and another after that (and another after that?) and may want to lower the draft eligibility age next year or the year after that. Yes, there is talent waiting overseas too but if the American audience is interested in the current college players it is familiar with, that's the reality. Team owners' legit perspective is the league has to prioritize profitability. That's why it exists. It's private business and entertainment to turn profit and it does not guarantee anyone a long-term career or any career at all.

[@JouRaharinaivo]

Lot of em are undersized, WNBA will cut

[@DavisSportsReport]

Yeah, unfortunately for the small VERY skilled guards, it seems that the WNBA is looking for taller players.

[@allenharrington1551]

No Morrow will not go 1st. She will not be able to play forward in the W.

[@dashDialogue]

Sedona Prince to Atlanta Dream please! 🙏

[@DavisSportsReport]

Atlanta could use a Big that size

[@MichaelGandy-rc6tv]

The game has evolved, stop the cap. Aneesah is short, no vertical to speak of and plays PF in college. At next level her opposing PF could be Aja, Stewie, Napheesa, Nneka, Allysa Thomas, Natasha Howard, or Angel. May have to guard a Satou or Taleah Cooper, Rhyne Howard or Bonner. AM is hella player at college level. But unless she can step out and hit consistent jumpers, its a no-go at the next level.

[@SportsTymeStories-h8x]

Exactly why would she have to play PF in the WNBA. I see her playing the small Forward spot. Oh, and she ain't scared of any of those players.

[@DavisSportsReport]

Good point

[@YouMoreBestMed5737]

PB and Azzi are injury ridden, wnba teams has much to lose if they draft them. They must be wise.

[@DavisSportsReport]

I agree about the injuries, it feels like Uconn has had the injury bug the past few years.

[@Nubiansage1]

Anessa Morrow is a Forward. That's for the information 👍

[@DavisSportsReport]

Thanks for watching! ESPN has her listed as a Guard, so that's the reason I stated her as a Guard. We appreciate the comment.

[@tycromwell7483]

Coach Staley never said no one on her team is wnba ready….her exact quote was no one on her time is ready to be a “starter “…..a starter in a wnba team. Her point was the fact that they divide the mins up as a team and many ride the bench for a second will aid them in the next level as a pro. Come sus that made the video. You have to quote people correctly. You dropped the ball On that one.

[@DavisSportsReport]

You're correct! I put a comment at the top of the comments addressing my mistake. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@julieclark1922]

Flau'jae is eligible, FYI. She has been very cryptic about her plans...many of her fans, including me, think she is ready to move on to the next chapter in her career and her life. How would that affect the calculus?

[@DavisSportsReport]

I agree, there's nothing more for Flau'jae to prove. I hope she says something soon so she can get in the conversation of going Top 1, 2, 3, 4 ... who knows :)

[@00126601528]

Aneesah Morrow, Let's see when she plays some real good competition, I have been watching her.. against good defense she Doesn't produce. I could be wrong. I want all players to do well, I'm just calling it like I see it

[@jaythompson5938]

When Aneesah Morrow was @ DePaul playing against the old UCONN teams putting up BIG double doubles & carrying DePaul on her back in the BIG EAST Conference, was she playing against good competition? STOP with the BS, if U know 🏀, U know AM is a TRUE BALLER & will be selected in the WNBA 2025 1st round. As a former D-1 🏀 player, former 🏀 scout & coach with over 40 years in game, AM will be one of the BEST WNBA ROOKIES in the class of 2025!! I would bet my 2 homes, 3 cars, retirement funds, checks & bank accounts on it 🤑🤑🤑!!

[@anthonytaylor7928]

They have this huge draft show but it's gonna only be two or three players thats gonna get a legit chance to make a team others are gonna bench or get cut because players like turasi and others hold up roster spots

[@DavisSportsReport]

@anthonytaylor7928 I agree with you. I'm hoping they add a lot more teams to give these young ladies a fair shake. It so many talented players with really nowhere to go except overseas to play.

[@steveschmidt2231]

Paige is not first pick caliber. My first pick: shyanne sellers. Way tougher and makes teammates better.

[@Kelscal]

Azzi Fudd is gonna do big things, watch!

[@DavisSportsReport]

@Kelscal Do you think she's going to declare for the draft this year?

[@Kelscal]

@ I hope she does, there is a better chance for her this year than their will be next year

[@nancylaw2213]

Azzi will be staying, and I'd love for Paige to stay and play along side her, then both benefit from the new CBA salary levels.

[@DavisSportsReport]

I agree with that. It would be a smart move for Paige. It seems like she's being pressured a little to go to the WNBA.
