As the 2025 WNBA Draft approaches, few prospects have generated as much buzz as LSU forward Aneesah Morrow. The 6’1″ Tigers star has established herself as a double-double machine, combining scoring prowess with elite rebounding and defensive skills that have WNBA front offices dreaming.
With career milestones including more than 2,500 points and over 1,500 rebounds, Morrow stands as just the eighth player in NCAA Division I history to achieve such numbers. Her 100-plus career double-doubles and consistent defensive impact make her one of the most complete players available in this year’s draft class.
Potential Landing Spots
Chicago Sky
The Chicago Sky presents the most compelling storyline for Morrow’s professional future. Holding the third overall pick, the Sky could bring the Chicago native home where her journey began at Simeon High School.
ESPN mock drafts consistently project this homecoming with Morrow’s versatile forward skills addressing a critical team need. She would join former LSU standout Angel Reese in the “Windy City.”
Washington Mystics
Washington possesses unusual draft capital with the third, fourth, and sixth selections in the first round. This flexibility gives them multiple opportunities to select Morrow, whose defensive prowess aligns perfectly with the Mystics’ strategic priorities.
Los Angeles Sparks
With the second overall pick, L.A. could view Morrow as the impact player they need.
While some projections have them looking elsewhere, her proven production at LSU with 16.4 points and 10 rebounds per game makes her difficult to pass up for a franchise seeking immediate contribution.
Dallas Wings
As holders of the coveted first overall selection, the Dallas Wings face a fascinating decision. While UConn’s Paige Bueckers remains the consensus top pick, Morrow’s consistency and production could tempt the Wings to make a surprising choice that would immediately strengthen their frontcourt presence.
Golden State Valkyries
The WNBA’s newest expansion team, the Golden State Valkyries, enter their inaugural draft with the fifth overall pick and a clean slate. Selecting a player of Morrow’s caliber who recorded 22 double-doubles in her junior season alone would provide an immediate cornerstone for the WNBA’s newest franchise to build around.

Morrow’s collegiate excellence was highlighted by her junior season when she and teammate Reese formed the nation’s only duo with 20-plus double-doubles, each demonstrating her ability to excel alongside other elite talent.
This adaptability, combined with her semifinalist status for the Naismith Defensive Player of the Year, ensures her transition to the professional ranks will be closely watched regardless of which team secures her on draft night.
