Welcome to March Madness, where many WNBA project prospects will be under national spotlights.
The NCAA 2025 female tournament should present some of the best players in university basketball before the WNBA Draft 2025. This year’s class is responsible for talented, led by Uconn Huskies Garde Paige Bueckers. Bueckers should be the overall choice n ° 1 and start his professional career with the Dallas wings.
March Madness Odds: Final Four and national championship for the 68 women’s teams of the NCAA tournament
However, after Bueckers is written, the board of directors could become a little wild. Several professions in recent weeks, such as the mystics of Washington Guard Ariel Atkins For Chicago’s sky, changed the order of the first round and created a ton of speculation on the place where the best players could land. In this spirit, let’s look at the prospects of the WNBA could help (or harm) their draft stock as the teams grow to increase in the selection order.
Here are five WNBA draft prospects to watch once March Madness begins:
1. Olivia Miles – Notre -Dame Fighting Irish
Notre Dame Olivia Miles’ goalkeeper is easily the higher guard of the 2025 draft. It is undeniable. However, where it is written, remains in motion. Notre Dame’s recent problems did not help external perceptions, and unfortunately, Miles was also in crisis.
She has played four games in the last five games where she pulled less than 40% of the field, including an abyssal of 28.6% against Cal. In addition, Miles does not look great on the defensive side, apparently out of instant position. If the senior guard can start scoring at least 15 points per game with 45% or more during the madness of March, it will consolidate its status of choice among the first three.
2. Kiki Iriafen – Trojans USC
USC Kiki Iriafen’s Trojan striker Has played so well lately, and I have been here to push the agenda. The big questions about Iriafen’s game were: can it score in different areas of the court? Is she effective with her photos? The answer to these two questions is yes. In the last seven games, she played four games with 50% shooting or better, including 17 points and nine rebounds out of 61.5% against UCLA Bruins on March 1.
The same production during the NCAA tournament could help Iriafen to sneak in the first five choices, potentially landing with the Seattle storm, Washington Mystics or Golden State Valkyries. However, if its shooting seems to be near the merger of the fourth quarter to the level of the team displayed during the Big Ten ChampionshipIriafen could slide on the board.
3. Azzi Fudd – Uconn Huskies
We don’t know if Uconn Guard Azzi Fudd will declare the WNBA. Fudd has not yet announced, but if it decides that Turning Pro is the right decision, it has a very good case to write. Fudd has played 28 games this season, the most since her first year in Uconn, and she was relatively healthy. Fudd has career summit in points per game, as a percentage of goals on the field and in 3 points.
In his best game of the season, a 87-58 Victory on the Gamecocks of South CarolinaFudd scored 28 points and five rebounds. She also pulled 50% of the field and nailed six (!) 3 -point podets. If Fudd plays anywhere near this day, she will probably sneak in the back half of the first round. A team like Connecticut Sun or Minnesota Lynx would be an ideal landing point.
4. Rori Harmon – Texas Longhorns
The Texas Longhorns goalkeeper Rori Harmon did not indicate that she would go to the WNBA, but if she does, the NCAA tournament is the perfect showcase to raise her stock. Harmon missed much of the 2023-2024 season with an LCA injury. It was unhappy because, before her early release, she cooked. Harmon has had careers in several categories, with an average of 14 points and almost eight assists per game.
She is not close to these figures this season, but she is still productive. During the dry tournament, the Longhorns had trembling offensive outings against the Lsu tigers and Gamecocks of South Carolina. Harmon and Madison Booker teammate helped push the offense. If she can continue to be productive or rekindle her magic in 2023 during the madness of March, I would not be shocked to see her sneak in the lower half of the first round or the top of the second. Dallas wings could use an additional depth of custody.
5. Hailey van lith – TCU frogs in horns
TCCU horns caretaker Hailey van lith spent five years playing university basketball, but it was worth it. Before transferring to TCU, Van Lith spent part of his summer Paris Olympic GamesPlaying in the 3X3 women’s team from the American team. This additional work before this season has paid dividends. Van Lith found his stride in the middle of having it Redemption round with horns in horns.
March Madness is the perfect time for Van Lith to continue to raise his stock. If TCU has a race for the deep NCAA tournament and Van Lith plays well, she will probably sneak in the 10 best choices during the WNBA Draft 2025. A team like the Chicago sky could try its luck, or even the sparks of Los Angeles, which could use its 3 -point shooting and facilitation capacities.
