The 2025 WNBA Draft delivered a whirlwind of excitement, with teams locking in future stars like Paige Bueckers and Dominique Malonga.

With these game-changers coming aboard, the 2025 season is set to spark a new era in women’s basketball. The countdown to their debut begins—and here’s who each team picked up!
