2025 WNBA Mock Draft 5.0: Paige Bueckers goes No. 1 to Wings, Hailey Van Lith rises following March Madness
Olivia Miles' surprise return to college shook up the latest mock draft
new.cbssports.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent public coverage:
- The 2025 WNBA draft took place in 2025 with Paige Bueckers projected and widely discussed as the No. 1 pick in many mock drafts before the event, and live-night coverage tracked selections, trades, and rosters as teams finalized their rosters.[1][3]
- Post-draft analysis and roster moves followed quickly, including notes on who was waived or retained by teams and how rookies settled into training camps or the final rosters, such as notable cuts and additional rookies making teams after the draft.[2]
- Various outlets published mock drafts and updates leading up to and just after the draft, reflecting ongoing speculation about teams’ selections and the potential long-term impact of top picks.[4][6]
If you’d like, I can pull together a concise timeline of the 2025 draft night events (first-round results, notable trades, and immediate roster decisions) or summarize which 2025 draft picks landed with which teams. I can also assemble a short list of sources for deeper read.
Would you prefer a one-page timeline or a brief table of the top 10 picks by team?
