New York wins
Well, well. We’ve learned quite a bit since our last Mock Draft Big Board.
For one thing, we know the order of the Big Board itself! The New York Liberty fulfilled their destiny as the most bereft team, converting their 44.2 percent chance at the top pick and putting general manager Jonathan Kolb on the clock in this, his first full offseason running things in New York.

For another, we have the full rest of the first round in place now, thanks to the end of the WNBA regular season.
A note on our projections, because we’ve decided to switch them up, due to the feedback we received from our readers, a long discussion among the staff, and the overwhelming preferences of the WNBA talent evaluators: we’re going to start including eligible players who haven’t declared, but could if they so choose, in our mock drafts, based on if we’re hearing WNBA folks think they are coming out. We’re trying to have the purest, most accurate reading experience for you, the reader. Instead of adding underclassmen once they declare, we’ll remove them from our mocks once they make a public declaration that they will be returning to school, or the deadline to declare passes.
Accordingly, let’s get to the fun part! After conversations with many WNBA talent evaluators, this is my best read on how the draft would play out as of right now.
