Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Cameron Brink, and numerous others are injecting excitement into this year’s WNBA draft, making it one of the most captivating in recent memory.
As the WNBA Draft approaches, all eyes are on Caitlin Clark, widely expected to be chosen by the Indiana Fever as the top overall pick. But the fate of the second most talked-about player in college basketball, Reese, remains uncertain.
As anticipation builds for the WNBA Draft tonight, speculations abound regarding the destinations of top players.
According to the New York Post’s projections, Caitlin Clark is poised to claim the number one spot, while Angel Reese is predicted to fall to the Chicago Sky, who hold the seventh draft pick.

You might be thinking: “What?!? How is Reese so low — she put up monster stats, was the best player on a title team, and is one of the faces of the sport!” Well, there are also pressing questions about how Reese’s game will translate: Can she continue her signature offensive rebounding rate (6.0 per game over two LSU seasons) against pros? Will her awkward-angle finishing and utter lack of shooting remove her as a scoring threat? What about that mystery midseason absence? The Sky, who traded up one pick into this spot Sunday morning, have a new head coach in Teresa Weatherspoon who has mentored Zion Williamson and a need for more Q rating.
Aside from the New York Post, other projections have Reese going as high as number five to the Dallas Wings.
Reese emerged as one of college basketball’s top earners this season through Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals. Her performance in the final game vividly showcased her value, as she delivered an impressive stat line of 17 points and 20 rebounds against the Hawkeyes, despite the loss in the Elite Eight.
After her final game, Reese became emotional as she opened up about the challenges she faced over the past year. Ever since she was thrust into the spotlight following the Tigers’ victory over the Hawkeyes in the National Championship game, she has endured threats and emotional distress, reflecting the intense pressure that comes with the limelight.

Angel Reese made a significant impact when she transferred to the LSU Tigers before the 2022 season, guiding them to a National Championship right away. Her outstanding performance earned her the title of SEC Player of the Year this season, along with three All-American selections.
Throughout the recently concluded season, which concluded in the Elite Eight, Reese showcased her versatility and dominance on the court. According to ESPN.com, she averaged an impressive 18.7 points, 13.2 rebounds, and 1.9 steals per game, solidifying her status as one of the most formidable players in college basketball.
