Ahead of its draft on April 15, the WNBA has released the full list of prospects invited to attend in person.
Unsurprisingly, Iowa star Caitlin Clark and LSU star Angel Reese headline the list of the 15 players invited.
Clark is projected to go first overall to the Indiana Fever after her historic college career, and she is already having an impact on the league before being drafted. Indiana will have 36 of its 40 games featured by the WNBA's national broadcast and streaming partners, which is the most among WNBA teams.
Stanford star Cameron Brink, who averaged 17.4 points and 11.9 rebounds per game last season, is the projected No. 2 pick in ESPN's latest WNBA mock draft. Just behind her is Tennessee forward Rickea Jackson, who put up 20.2 points and 8.2 rebounds per game amid a shaky year from the Lady Vols.
Kamilla Cardoso, who led South Carolina to a national championship, is also a projected top-five pick, landing with the Los Angeles Sparks at No. 4 in ESPN's mock draft. Cardoso averaged 14.4 points and 9.7 rebounds per game in the 2023-24 season.
Reese's numbers dipped her senior year compared to the 2022-23 season as she put up 18.6 points and 13.4 rebounds, but she is still projected to be a top-10 pick, landing with the Minnesota Lynx at No. 8.
With stars like Clark, Reese and Brink beginning their pro careers this year, the WNBA season has a lot in store for fans, and it all begins on Monday with the draft.
