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? If point guards Aari McDonald and Dana Evans go in the top six, and Onyenwere is still available, she could be the Sparks choice at No. 7. Los Angeles coach/general manager Derek Fisher said he wants playmakers and versatile defenders. Players such as Onyenwere and DiJonai Carrington also could fit that bill.
