The UConn star was selected No. 1 overall in the 2025 WNBA Draft, but her biggest pay day will come from another pro hoops league.

The Sparks had the No. 9 pick in the draft after trading the No. 2 in a deal for Kelsey Plum. The Sparks took Alabama’s Sarah Ashlee Barker, a 6-foot guard who averaged 18.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists as a fifth-year senior this winter.

The 2025 WNBA draft is finally here. As this year's top prospects wait in anticipation for their name to be called on draft night in New York City, they can look around the room and marvel at the sheer amount of talent in women's hoops—and at the coolest, dressiest and most stunning draft day fits.
