With the obvious caveat that the legacy of this draft will require much longer than 12 hours to determine, here are some early winners and losers from Monday. Winners Dallas Wings

UConn Huskies basketball player Paige Bueckers is headed to the WNBA after being chosen by the Dallas Wings as the No. 1 pick in Monday night's draft, just over a week after leading her college team to victory in the 2025 March Madness tournament.

Paige Bueckers was drafted No. 1 overall by the Dallas Wings in the 2025 WNBA Draft on Monday night, headlining an all-star draft class that also saw 19-year-old French center Dominique Malonga, LSU forward Aneesah Morrow, and TCU guard Hailey Van Lith taken in the first round.
