There is no doubt that Flau’jae Johnson is one of the nation’s best players and likely a future WNBA star. If she decides to declare for the WNBA Draft after this season at LSU, it could really shake things up in said draft.
Flau’jae Johnson’s Exceptional LSU Career
The 21-year-old point guard from Savannah, Georgia, is one of the great floor generals in college basketball. Johnson was also one of the key contributors on LSU’s national title team back in 2023.
Her ability to dissect opposing defenses and create opportunities for herself and her teammates is what will take her far in her basketball career.
This season, she is averaging a career-best 18.9 points per game, which is something that she has improved upon each season in Baton Rouge.
An underrated part of her game is her defense. Last season, she averaged 2.1 steals and 1.0 blocks per game.
Given her scoring abilities and defense, she could be one of the most complete players in the WNBA Draft if she decides to declare.
Which Teams Could Draft Johnson?
Given her elite status, she will be in demand for many teams whenever she decides to enter the WNBA.
If she decides to go this year, some teams at the top of the draft will want her on their roster next season.
Dallas Wings (No. 1 Overall Pick)
The Wings have been searching for a long time to find a good running mate for Arike Ogunbowale. Adding Johnson could give the Wings one of the better one-two punches in the league.
Seattle Storm (No. 2 Overall Pick)
When it comes to the Storm, they need to find someone to replace six-time All-Star and two-time champion Jewell Lloyd, who was sent to Las Vegas as part of a three-team trade earlier this offseason.

Johnson could give the Storm a true scoring guard who could elevate the entire roster.
New York Liberty (No. 7 Overall Pick)
Even though superstar guard Sabrina Ionescu is the team’s No. 1 ball-handler, the Liberty could still use some depth at point guard. A complete player like Johnson could make the Liberty the best team in the league.
