Actual 2025 WNBA Draft

5-9 | G  Te-Hina Paopao

6-1 | Forward  Taylor Thierry

Draft Grade: B

Instant Analysis: Paopao brings good playmaking and excellent shooting, but her size may pose a challenge against more physical guards at the pro level. Thierry, on the other hand, adds defensive versatility and energy that could complement Atlanta’s system well. While the picks provide decent value, the Dream’s overall draft grade may hinge on how Paopao adapts to the WNBA’s physicality.

One-Month Check-In: Te-Hina Paopao has exceeded early expectations, filling in for Jordin Canada with impressive poise, confident shooting, and sharp playmaking. Taylor Thierry is still adjusting in limited minutes but shows flashes of defensive energy. The Dream’s rookie outlook is trending up thanks to Paopao’s immediate contributions.
