Aneesah Morrow - WNBA Mock Draft Roundup 1.0
Leading up to the 2025 WNBA Draft, we will track where LSU's Aneesah Morrow appears in the latest WNBA mock drafts.
Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which Aneesah Morrow has appeared:
No. 5 overall — Golden State Valkyries
Golden State head coach Natalie Nakase has repeatedly stressed that she wants players who are selfless, want to compete and need to hate losing more than winning.
May I interest the Valkyries in one Aneesah Morrow? Morrow is UNBELIEVABLE on the court, and her otherworldly motor would fit right in with Golden State.
At a mere 6-foot-1, she leads the country in rebounds per game with 14.4, and when she's not busy creating opportunities for her team, she hits the big buckets when they matter most. Morrow is averaging 18 points per matchup this season, and the Valkyries could use the help as they mold the franchise's inaugural roster.

No. 8 overall — Connecticut Sun
No team had a worse offseason than the Sun, who lost their entire playoff starting lineup and are about to embark on a complete rebuild under new coach Rachid Meziane. There are questions about how Morrow's game will translate to the professional level, but her competitiveness, defensive intensity and elite rebounding give her a good chance to be a helpful player. And a team like the Sun doesn't have to worry as much about potential fit issues.
No. 5 overall — Golden State Valkyries
The consistency and double-double dominance out of Aneesah Morrow over the course of her collegiate career is a complete rarity. Her motor and no-quit approach to the game vastly outweighs the fact that some may consider her undersized. You can't coach what she does—you either have that or you don't.
If I am at the starting blocks of establishing a WNBA franchise, I want foundational pieces that I know what I am getting from them every single day. Morrow has the type of motor that Golden State could use during its foundational years.
Morrow's stock is on the rise, as she's performing at the highest levels of her career against the toughest competition deep into the grueling SEC conference slate.
She has 24 double-doubles this season in 27 total games. She has four 20-plus-rebound performances this season and is averaging 18.1 points and 14.4 rebounds per game. She leads the nation in double-doubles and is second all-time in NCAA career double-doubles.

No. 6 overall — Washington Mystics
Morrow had her 22nd double-double of the season with 13 points and 14 rebounds Thursday as LSU won 71-60 at Missouri. Morrow leads Division I in rebounding at 14.2 per game.
WNBA evaluators seemed to underestimate Morrow's teammate Angel Reese in last year's draft, when she went No. 7 and then averaged 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds. They should keep that in mind with Morrow.
