Chicago Sky 2025 WNBA Draft Mock Draft Roundup 1.0

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.

When the Sky return to double dip in the first round, they'll be glad they did. Snagging South Carolina's Te-Hina Paopao will likely feel like the holidays came early. She's an absolute joy to watch and comes bearing gifts—phenomenal passing, 3-point shooting and defense.

POW. POW. (Sorry, I'll show myself out.)

Paopao has exquisite court vision, which should greatly help a young Sky team. When she's not busy facilitating, she can also create for herself. The senior guard is a stellar 3-point specialist who has averaged 40 percent shooting behind the arc throughout college. Additionally, she's an excellent defender who should thrive under Tyler Marsh.

After drafting Kamilla Cardoso and Angel Reese last season, the Sky desperately need a guard or wing to pair with them, and are the biggest loser from Miles' rise. If she is indeed off the board, her Notre Dame teammate, Sonia Citron, could be the pick. Citron may not have the ceiling you'd prefer from a No. 3 pick, but she has a very high floor as a 3-and-D wing.

The Sky are one of three teams with multiple first-round picks, and they come up again here at No. 10 still needing a true point guard for the future. Amoore is a bit undersized at 5-foot-6, but she's a high-level playmaker who could learn from Courtney Vandersloot. Plus, Amoore's shooting ability (her overall 3-point % is dragged down by a high number of pull-up attempts she won't have to take in the W) would help space the floor around Cardoso and Reese.

Headed into free agency, the Chicago Sky had glaring needs at all guard spots. Some of those needs were addressed with the additions of veteran guards Courtney Vandersloot and Kia Nurse in free agency, and Rebecca Allen in a trade with Connecticut.

The Sky could go a lot of directions with this pick, but backcourt depth and versatility for the future is their most concerning need.

Notre Dame's Sonia Citron has a unique level of versatility with her size and ability to play on or off the ball. She would make a great next-level utility wing and smart defensive presence as a pro.

Notre Dame has the most lethal backcourt in the country, with Citron playing a critical role while averaging 13.5 points, 2.9 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game and shooting 38 percent from the perimeter. She's a high-IQ guard who makes smart decisions, is capable of operating in the half and full court and has proven to be a vital playmaker alongside other highly skilled guards.

The Chicago Sky have an opportunity to draft much-needed size and versatility at the guard spot with these two first-round picks. Shyanne Sellers is an impact guard who would have a chance to help this Sky backcourt immediately.

At 6'2", Sellers is highly versatile and capable of playing the 1-3, two assets that translate exceptionally well to the pro level. Her length and athleticism make her impactful on both ends of the floor via her ability to distribute, rebound, defend and score.

She thrives in the open court in transition and can be utilized as a scorer or facilitator averaging 13.8 points, 4.3 assists, and shooting a career-best .43% from deep.

Sellers missed a couple of games this season due to a knee sprain, and her absence was felt greatly for Maryland, but she has found her rhythm and continues to elevate her play deep into the conference season.

This might seem high for Citron, but she has a lot going for her -- including Notre Dame's reputation for producing WNBA-level guards. Consider how well she plays now with two dynamic guards like Hidalgo and Miles: She's averaging 12.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists. The sophomore Hidalgo is one of the best on-ball defenders in the country, but Citron is also a very strong defensive player.

Rivers won a national championship with South Carolina in 2022, then transferred and has spent the past three seasons at NC State. She helped lead the Wolfpack to the Final Four last season, and they are currently second in the ACC at 10-1 behind Notre Dame. Rivers is averaging 12.2 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists, and her size and quickness on the wing defensively are seen as assets.
