2021 WNBA Mock Draft

Here is my 2021 WNBA Mock Draft as the draft will be held tomorrow, April 15th, 2021. It will be virtual for the second consecutive season. 

1. Dallas Wings (from New York Liberty)- Charli Collier, Center, Texas: Collier is the consensus choice to go first overall as the draft approaches. She is a double-double machine and would be a nice building block for the Wings going forward.

2. Dallas Wings- Awak Kuier, Power Forward, Finland: The Wings complete their future front court here with this selection of the Finnish product. Kuier's success has gone under the radar due to being overseas but she really has the potential of being a star being compared to Candace Parker.

3. Atlanta Dream- Arella Guirantes, Shooting Guard, Rutgers: Guirantes is the best Lady Knights player to be drafted in some time and she would be a great pick here. Her scoring is what she's known for, but her all around game is what makes here a highly regarded prospect coming into the draft.

4. Indiana Fever- Rennia Davis, Small Forward, Tennessee: This would be a solid pick for the Fever, who are still in the building stage. Davis has a solid two-way game, but she must improve on her three point shooting if she is to be a top option on a good team.

5. Dallas Stars (from Washington Mystics)- Aari McDonald, Point Guard, Arizona: Arguably the best player in the NCAA Tournament, the Wings land her with this selection. It would not shock me if Dallas took her second or if someone trades up to grab her at some point in this draft, but she would be a nice add to this young asset collection the Wings would now have.

6. New York Liberty (from Connecticut Sun)- Dana Evans, Point Guard, Louisville: Evans is someone I feel is now under the radar with the flashes Aari McDonald showed in the tournament and with some of the other prospects rising too. Evans and Sabrina Ionsecu would be a nice backcourt in New York.

7. Los Angeles Sparks (from Chicago Sky via Dallas Wings)- Micheala Onyenwere, Small Forward, UCLA: With the loss of Candace Parker, the Sparks now have to replace her somehow. They still have some talent on their roster and Onyenwere would replace some of Parker's scoring and bring some defensive versatility.

8. Chicago Sky (from Phoenix Mercury)- Kiana Williams, Point Guard, Stanford: Williams is yet another talented point guard slated to go in the first round. Williams would be a nice backup for Courtney Vandersloot and she is someone with a good three-point stroke.

9. Minnesota Lynx- Natasha Mack, Power Forward, Oklahoma State: The Lynx have some options here with this selection. Mack is someone that was a double double machine in college and is great at protecting the rim as well.

10. Los Angeles Sparks- Chelsea Dungee, Shooting Guard, Arkansas: The Sparks get a great scorer here in Dungee, who can help replace some scoring lost with Candace Parker out the door. She does need to work on a weakness of hers which is turning the ball over more than recording assists.

11. Seattle Storm- DiJonai Carrington, Shooting Guard, Baylor: The Storm really do not have any needs necessarily, but they get a good bench piece here with Carrington. With the loss of Alysha Clark in free agency, Carrington could replace that defensive presence and also add some scoring punch.

12. Las Vegas Aces- Jasmine Walker, Power Forward, Alabama: This would be a nice pick for the Aces, who don't really need much. She has some good length and could shoot it from three and would be a nice stretch four for the Aces.
