As the 2025 WNBA Draft draws near, Shyanne Sellers, a guard for Maryland, is one of the prospects in the class. Having spent four years with the Terrapins, Sellers declared for the draft, leaving behind a legacy as the program’s first player to record 1,500 points, 500 rebounds, and 500 assists.
In her senior season, she averaged 14.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game while shooting 46% from the field. Her resilience was questioned late in the year with a knee injury. Still, her versatility, size, and skill have cemented her as a projected top-10 pick, with many mock drafts projecting her as high as sixth overall.
Top WNBA Landing Spots for Maryland G Shyanne Sellers
Here are five potential landing spots where she could land as Draft Day approaches.
Washington Mystics
The Mystics are a leading team to draft Sellers with their stockpile of three first-round picks in the top six. The team needs high-upside players to restructure their roster, and Sellers perfectly fits the bill.
She can play both guard spots and contribute as a scorer, facilitator, and defender; she would be an excellent foundation for their backcourt. At 6’2″, she can pose matchup problems and stretch defenses with her shooting while creating for her teammates. As many are projecting, if Washington selects her at No. 6, she could stir their resurgence.
Seattle Storm
The Seattle Storm are poised to reload their roster with fresh talent. Sellers would be an excellent option for the team to boost their backcourt. She creates her own shot, either driving to the rim or pulling up from mid-range, which matches her defensive IQ; she’s a key draft pick for the Seattle system.
Her versatility, clutch gene, and ability to make winning plays would make her a dynamic guard who can grow into an essential role for the Storm.
Golden State Valkyries
Sellers could be an ideal draft pick for the Golden State Valkyries, an expansion team entering the WNBA in 2025; she would be a foundational piece. Her all-around game projects her as a player who will add an immediate impact on the team. At 6’2″, she offers exceptional scoring and playmaking ability.
Having helped lead Maryland to three Sweet 16 appearances with her experience, she’s a player with a great winning mentality and would be an ideal draft for the Golden State Valkyries.
Connecticut Sun
The team has been more than active recently in acquiring draft capital, which clearly shows their intent to blend youth with their established core. Sellers’ ability makes her a great fit for the Sun.
Whether starting or coming off the bench, drafting her will complement the Sun’s guard rotation and add a layer of offensive creativity. She’ll be an excellent fit for a team aiming to cement its place among the league’s elite.
New York Liberty
Fresh off a championship-caliber run, Liberty might pick later in the first round, but Sellers could be in play if she slides slightly.
