2025 WNBA Draft Results with Complete Round-by-Round Selections and Twitter Reaction

The WNBA is coming off a record-setting season in large part because of the headline names in the league, and it is adding even more star power Monday.

The 2025 WNBA draft means some of the biggest headliners in women’s college basketball will be taking the next step to the professional ranks. And the brightest star from that group is none other than UConn’s Paige Bueckers, heard her name called first after leading the Huskies to the national title.

Here is a look at Bueckers and all of the selections for the three-round draft.

Social media had plenty of reaction to Bueckers going No. 1 overall:

Bueckers wasn’t the only one who generated reaction:

One of the marquee names alongside Bueckers in this draft was Hailey Van Lith after a collegiate career that included stops with Louisville, LSU and TCU. The Chicago Sky picked her with the No. 11 overall selection, which led to plenty of reaction:

Washington and Connecticut each had the chance to reshape their overall roster outlook for years to come if they made the right choices with so many first-round picks.

However, there was no doubt who the biggest storyline was entering the event.

Just one year after Clark parlayed transcendent collegiate stardom into being the top pick and the immediate face of a WNBA franchise, Bueckers did the same as the first pick of the Dallas Wings.

The UConn guard is one of the most accomplished players in college basketball history and reached the mountaintop as a champion in her final season.

Bueckers’ resume now includes that title, the Associated Press Player of the Year, the Wooden Award, the Naismith Award, three All-American selections and three Big East Player of the Year awards, among other accomplishments.

She can do a little bit of everything on the floor and averaged 19.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.1 steals per game while shooting 53.1 percent from the field and 42.3 percent from deep during her collegiate career.

The top prospect scored more than 30 points in three straight NCAA tournament games this season, including when she dropped 40 in the Sweet 16 against Oklahoma and 31 in the Elite Eight against USC.

Now she will look to pour in the points and continue building her star power at the next level as she faces some of the best basketball players in the world.
