The 2023 WNBA Draft wrapped up last Monday with South Carolina’s Aliyah Boston as the top pick to the Indiana Fever. Already there’s talk of the depth of talent that the 2024 WNBA Draft could have. However, like the 2023 draft, there’s early speculation that several of the top talents from this draft class will use their remaining eligibility and stay in school for a fifth year.
Below is simply a ranking of the top 100 draft prospects for 2024. The depth of this class is due to the large number of players opting to return for a fifth year. Additionally, the transfer portal is in full swing for this off-season and players could see a rise or fall in their rankings when the season begins. Rankings are based on the player’s performance from the 2022-23 season, potential for the upcoming 2023-24 season, and their movement in the transfer portal.
