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?

Compared to the last big who went No. 1 in the draft A’ja Wilson (2018) Collier is not a surefire superstar. She notably struggled against higher-level competition in college. Yet, the potential is certainly there. Such potential might be there even more for Kuier, a 19-year-old who plays with enviable fluidity and poise. Sacrificing Katie Lou Samuelson in order to be able to acquire both Collier and Kueir, rather than having to settle for one of the two, was an absolute win. ....
