On Sept. 26, I wrote about which Washington Mystics player could be selected by the Golden State Valkyries in the 2025 WNBA Expansion Draft which happens next Friday, Dec. 6. That started by presuming which six players would be protected.
Here are the players I believe would be protected at the time:
- Elena Delle Donne
- Brittney Sykes
- Ariel Atkins
- Shakira Austin
- Aaliyah Edwards
- Stefanie Dolson
Ultimately, I felt like the Valkyries would select Karlie Samuelson, Shatori Walker-Kimbrough or Jade Melbourne.
