Dominique Malonga - WNBA Mock Draft Roundup 1.0
Leading up to the 2025 WNBA Draft, we will track where France's Dominique Malonga appears in the latest WNBA mock drafts.
Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which Dominique Malonga has appeared:
No. 4 overall — Washington Mystics
Holy length, Batman. It's hard not to notice Dominique Malonga's size and wingspan. It's an immediate problem for teams. However, she's so much more than that.
Malonga practically floats like a gazelle in space and can run the floor, which is super impressive. SHE IS SO SMOOTH. Her game is easy to watch because she's a cerebral player who is often two steps ahead of whatever is happening on the floor.
Malonga even has a delicate touch at the rim that will make you want to weep. Did I mention she's a walking double-double? Draft her, Mystics, and don't think twice about it.

No. 4 overall — Washington Mystics
It's not entirely clear what's going on in D.C. this offseason, but it seems like they're heading toward a total reset in 2026, and desperately need a centerpiece they can build around. Malonga has the highest upside of any player on the board. Players with her size (6-foot-6) and athleticism are extremely rare, and she's averaging an efficient double-double in EuroCup action as a teenager.
No. 4 overall — Washington Mystics
There are a lot of questions surrounding the Washington Mystics and the direction of the franchise under new general manager Jamila Wideman and head coach Sydney Johnson. The Mystics were inactive during free agency, so this No. 4 pick could be crucial to the franchise's future.
Dominique Malonga is one of the most impressive draft prospects on the board and could easily go higher. Malonga's intangibles and current skill set don't come around very often. At 6'6", the mobile forward has a rare combination of athleticism, speed, length and touch around the rim.
She can face up, attack off the dribble, grab a rebound and advance in the open court like a guard. At just 19 years old, she has barely scratched the surface of her potential and is averaging a double-double at 17.9 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. She's also shooting 57 percent from the floor for LDLC ASVEL Féminin in EuroCup Women this season.

No. 4 overall — Washington Mystics
Malonga, who played for France in the Olympics this summer, is just 19 and could be a draft-and-stash prospect. Or she might be ready to play in the WNBA this season. The Mystics are under a new brain trust with Jamila Wideman as general manager and Sydney Johnson as head coach. There's a lot of rebuilding to do for a team that's likely to have a hard time competing for a playoff spot in 2025. Malonga could be seen as a player to develop for the future.
