Seattle Storm 2025 WNBA Draft Mock Draft Roundup 1.0
Leading up to the 2025 WNBA Draft, we will track which prospects are mocked to the Seattle Storm.
Here are the Seattle Storm selections in some recent mock drafts:
2. Kiki Iriafen, USC
The Seattle Storm's recent free agency moves allow them to hold off on drafting a guard after Jewell Loyd's departure. That's where USC forward Kiki Iriafen comes in. Drafting Iriafen at No. 2. probably depends on how she does in the NCAA tournament, but we're PUSHING THE AGENDA.
If the team wants someone who could be inserted into the starting lineup if needed and provide immediate depth, Iriafen is a solid choice. Her ability to clean up on glass is an underrated quality in her game, and a lot of it can be attributed to her knack for blowing past and up and over opponents.
She excels at using her length and explosiveness to create opportunities. Moreover, Iriafen brings the BUCKETS. The USC forward is a top-tier option, whether at the rim, in the midrange game or even a sneaky good 3-pointer.

2. Olivia Miles, Notre Dame
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.
2. Olivia Miles, Notre Dame
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.`

2. Olivia Miles, Notre Dame
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.
