Who are some of the top prospects in the 2023 WNBA Draft?
South Carolina Gamecocks forward Aliyah Boston, the number one overall pick in many WNBA mock drafts, will be in New York. The Naismith award-winner was the Most Outstanding Player in the 2022 NCAA tournament. Next, Maryland Terrapins guard Diamond Miller is seen as a top-five pick in the draft. Miller is in the school’s top 10 in career points and blocks.

In true NY fashion, there will be an @EmpireStateBldg lighting ceremony. PAINT. IT. ORANGE! Speaking of orange, there will be an orange carpet too… draftee drip 💅🏾
Heading west, UCLA standout guard Charisma Osbourne is a name to watch as she will likely hear her name called by commissioner Cathy Englebert. Osbourne shoots nearly 40 percent from the field and over 80 percent from the charity stripe. Lastly, University of Tennessee star Rickea Jackson will be in the Big Apple.

Jackson transferred to the Volunteers from Mississippi State ahead of this season. She is currently second in the SEC in points as well as third in field goal percentage. The Indiana Fever is on the clock with the top pick in the 2023 WNBA draft. We will see if Boston is indeed the top pick as lives will change forever come April.
