All eyes on Bueckers for 2025 WNBA Draft
The Dallas Wings are on the clock with the first pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft tonight on TSN.
The star of the show this evening will be Paige Bueckers who is a -20000 favourite on FanDuel to be the first player drafted.
Bueckers capped her college career with a national championship this year with Connecticut, cementing her legacy as an NCAA all-time great.
The -20000 odds come with an implied probability of 99.50 per cent, so while that number tells us all we need to know, the market around who the UConn guard will embrace first after hearing her name called is up in the air.
Who Will The First Overall WNBA Pick Hug First?

Dad | +150 |
Sibling | +430 |
Uncle/Aunt | +1900 |
Coach | +3700 |

Coming in at +110, Bueckers’ mom is the favourite to get hugged first after she is selected, with dad not far behind at +150
After the parents we have sibling at +430 before uncle/aunt at the long price of +1900.
Rounding out the top five is coach at +3700.
Once the Wings have made their selection and the hugs have been handed out, French centre Dominique Malonga is the favourite to be the second-overall pick at -700 on FanDuel.
After that, things are expected to get a lot more interesting with Notre Dame guard Sonia Citron currently -140 to be selected third overall.
