- No. 4 – Lauren Betts, C, UCLA
- No. 9 – Gianna Kneepkens, G, UCLA
- No. 11 – Nell Angloma, F, Montellier (France)
- No. 4 – Betts

This is far from the vast number of mock drafts on the internet. But it seems pretty clear that the mock drafts see a center, likely Lauren Betts, heading to the Mystics this summer.
