WNBA mock draft 2021, version 5.0: Sparks-Wings trade shakes up first round

As the countdown to Thursday's 2021 WNBA draft (7 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) continues, the biggest question isn't focused on which player might be selected first. Texas junior Charli Collier remains the projected No. 1 pick.

But with the Wings trading the No. 7 pick to the Los Angeles Sparks before Wednesday's draft trade deadline, now we wonder: Which player are the Sparks' targeting for that pick? Dallas still holds four of the first 13 selections, but now the Sparks have two in the first round.

Could Los Angeles be after a local college star in UCLA's Michaela Onyenwere?
