In less than a week’s time, the search for the WNBA’s future stars will be well underway.

Paige Bueckers and UConn officially sealed the women’s college basketball season April 6 with their national championship rout of South Carolina. Now, all eyes will turn to the 2025 WNBA Draft on April 14 in New York.

Last year, the Chicago Sky owned two premium picks at Nos. 3 and 7, and selected Kamilla Cardoso and Angel Reese, respectively. Cardoso averaged 9.8 points per game, and Reese added 13.6 points and 13.6 rebounds per contest.

The team finished last in the Eastern Conference with a 13-27 record, though, prompting the Sky to fire coach Teresa Weatherspoon in September after just one season.

The ensuing front-office shakeup ended with former Las Vegas Aces and Indiana Pacers assistant Tyler Marsh taking the helm, and the Sky own the No. 10 overall pick to let him work his magic. They also have the 16th and 22nd picks.

Let’s look at which college stars are pegged for the Sky’s No. 10 pick in various mock drafts:

Hailey Van Lith, G, TCU

2024-25 averages: 17.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists

Analysis: “Perhaps no player boosted their draft stock more in the NCAA Tournament than Van Lith, who led TCU to the Elite Eight for the first time in program history. She had a major bounce back season after a disappointing stop at LSU, and her leap as a playmaker makes her much more viable as a pro prospect. There are still question marks about her size and ability to handle pressure defense, but she would fill a real need for the Sky and would have a perfect mentor in Courtney Vandersloot.”

Hailey Van Lith, G, TCU

Analysis: “For the Sky, Hailey Van Lith can be a player who just fits in. She already knows how to play under pressure, having played to at least the Elite Eight in the last five NCAA tournaments; she’s also an Olympic bronze medalist in 3×3. Van Lith also has the advantage of having played with Sky star Angel Reese, which will also make the very quick transition to the WNBA easier.”

Rachel Galligan, Bleacher Report

Hailey Van Lith, G, TCU

Analysis: “Van Lith played a pro pick-and-roll style all season in Mark Campbell’s system at TCU, showcasing her more natural position. She can dictate pace and momentum, deliver pinpoint passes out of a pick-and-roll, can create separation on the perimeter and knock down shots. She knows how to get by a defender and attack a lane, getting herself to the rim.”

Te-Hina Paopao, G, South Carolina

2024-25 averages: 9.4 points, 2.8 assists, 37.0 3-point shooting percentage

Analysis: “I love the fit of Paopao in Chicago, which is why she remains in this spot after the last mock draft. A movement shooter who knows how to play off of high-usage frontcourt players is exactly what the Sky require. Paopao was a little hot and cold during the NCAA Tournament, and her only big game came during the Final Four against Texas. The hope for Chicago is that she was so good playing next to Cardoso during her senior year (the combo had a plus-40.0 net rating), and similarly excellent when Ashlyn Watkins was healthy, that Paopao simply needs better bigs to perform at a high level.”

Michael Voepel, ESPN

Georgia Amoore, G, Kentucky

2024-25 averages: 19.6 points, 6.9 assists

Analysis: “Amoore isn’t big size-wise, but her heart and basketball IQ are huge. She led Virginia Tech to its first Final Four in 2023. This year, she followed former Hokies coach Kenny Brooks and transferred to Kentucky. Amoore had a tough finish for her career, missing a game-winning shot in the second round against Kansas State on Sunday. But look at the entirety of her season: She averaged 19.6 points and 6.9 assists while playing an SEC-high 36.7 minutes per game. Veteran point guard Courtney Vandersloot, 36, is back in Chicago and the Sky might see her as a great mentor for Amoore.”
