Olivia Miles - WNBA Mock Draft Roundup 1.0
Leading up to the 2025 WNBA Draft, we will track where Notre Dame's Olivia Miles appears in the latest WNBA mock drafts.
Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which Olivia Miles has appeared:
No. 3 overall — Chicago Sky
If Olivia Miles is available at No. 3., the Chicago Sky better RUN to draft her.
Miles is a lightning bolt who often toys with defenses like it's just another day at the office. She's a threat at all times, and what's worse, she's FAST—really fast.
Her quick thinking is a nightmare for teams because, at any moment, she can score in the paint, dish the ball or make it rain from 3-point range. (Speaking of shots from beyond the arc, Miles is shooting a career-high 44 percent.) Most importantly, the Sky could use another facilitator for its bigs, who struggled to find synergy with the team's backcourt last season.

No. 2 overall — Seattle Storm
The Storm got the No. 2 overall pick from the Sparks in a massive three-team deal that sent franchise icon Jewell Loyd, who had requested a trade, to the Aces. Who better to replace her in the backcourt than Miles, who has been terrific for the No. 1-ranked Fighting Irish this season upon her return from a torn ACL. Miles continues to show off a much-improved 3-point shot, which was her biggest weakness coming into this season.
No. 2 overall — Seattle Storm
The Seattle Storm acquired the No. 2 pick in a three-team trade, sending Jewell Loyd to the Las Vegas Aces while also securing the rights to and signing Li Yueru.
Other major additions include the re-signing of Nneka Ogwumike and Gabby Williams and the additions of Alysha Clark and Erica Wheeler.
Now that we have a more complete picture of what Seattle is building, depth in the backcourt remains a concern. With the timetable of Nika Muhl's knee injury unknown, Seattle could use a playmaking facilitator, scorer and potential franchise guard in Olivia Miles—who would have an opportunity to learn from fellow Notre Dame alum and veteran point guard Skylar Diggins-Smith.
Miles has been dominant this season for Notre Dame, averaging 16.7 points and 6.2 assists per game while shooting a career-best 44 percent from the three-point line. She is one of the most electric playmakers we have seen in recent years, and her level of play continues to elevate night in and night out.
Miles' vision and decision-making off the dribble is like nobody else's in the country, with her ability to get downhill, play in the open court and single-handedly dictate the momentum of a game with her confidence and playmaking.`

No. 2 overall — Seattle Storm
Miles missed the 2023 postseason and all of last season because of a knee injury, but she has looked very good this season playing alongside fellow guards Hannah Hidalgo and Sonia Citron. Miles is averaging 16.5 points and 6.4 assists while shooting 42.3% from behind the arc. The Storm got this pick from Los Angeles as part of the three-team trade that sent Jewell Loyd to Las Vegas and Kelsey Plum to the Sparks.
