With the 2025 WNBA season set to tip off on May 16, the ESPN experts came together for a fantasy women’s basketball mock draft.
We used the ESPN default settings — a six-team league with nine players per team and the following scoring system:
Point = 1 Fantasy Point
Rebound = 1 FP
Assist = 1 FP
Made 3-pointer = 1 FP
Steal = 2 FP
Block = 2 FP
