UConn women’s basketball: WNBA Draft preview

The 2022 WNBA Draft is Monday night, with UConn women’s basketball seniors Christyn Williams, Olivia Nelson-Ododa and Evina Westbrook all expected to be drafted into the league.

While this year’s draft class is regarded as better than last year’s among WNBA general managers, there still is not a lot of consensus on where players will fall outside of the top two picks. Williams is by most mock drafts a first-round pick, while Nelson-Ododa and Westbrook vary greatly between mock drafts. Here’s a look at where mock drafts have UConn’s three draftees falling:

Christyn Williams

ESPN: Round 1, Pick 12 - Connecticut Sun

SB Nation: Round 1, Pick 9 - Los Angeles Sparks

The Athletic: Round 1, Pick 6 - Indiana Fever

Bleacher Report: Round 1, Pick 9 - Los Angeles Sparks

Her Hoop Stats: Round 1, Pick 9 - Los Angeles Sparks

Just Women’s Sports: Round 2, Pick 14 - Washington Mystics

CBS Sports: Round 1, Pick 12 - Connecticut Sun

Williams by virtually all accounts is expected to fall somewhere in the first round, with The Athletic having her as high as the No.
