TCU center Sedona Prince is projected to go in the first or second round of the 2025 WNBA Draft, but her controversial resume and reviews raise far more questions than confidence. Between multiple serious injuries, three collegiate transfers, and lingering controversy and allegations off the court, Prince’s career has been defined more by negative headlines than consistent production.
Now nearly 25 years old, and with multiple unresolved sexual assault allegations, the 6-foot-7 center remains one of the draft’s most perplexing prospects. While her size may be elite, that alone shouldn’t be enough to justify a first-round selection. The WNBA has no shortage of centers who are not only taller than Prince, but far more durable, productive, and impactful heading into the upcoming 2025 season.
1) Brittney Griner | 6’9” | Atlanta Dream
Griner remains the tallest active player in the WNBA and one of the most dominant centers in league history. A nine-time All-Star, two-time Defensive Player of the Year, and 2014 WNBA Champion, she’s been an elite rim protector and interior scorer since being drafted No. 1 overall in 2013 from Baylor. Unlike Griner, Prince does not produce the same efficient offensive and defensive range.
2) Kalani Brown | 6’7” | Phoenix Mercury
Drafted seventh overall in the 2019 WNBA Draft to the Los Angeles Sparks, Brown has fought her way into a key rotational role. In 2024, Brown recorded an average of 5.7 points per game, 1.1 offensive rebounds, and 1.9 defensive rebounds. She will continue proving her value as a high-efficiency scorer and rebounder off the bench with the Mercury. Despite starting for the Horned Frogs, Prince often contributed less than key bench players, including her final college game, where she fouled out with just four points as TCU trailed by double digits.
3) Li Yueru | 6’7” | Seattle Storm
The Chinese national team standout has made a quiet impact since being drafted late in the third round of the 2019 WNBA Draft to the Atlanta Dream. At 6-foot-7, Yueru has mobility, size, and a soft shooting touch, with a career average of 4.1 points over 54 games. Yueru is set to return to the WNBA in 2025 with the Seattle Storm. Prince lacks this mobility, and struggles to defend in space, unlikeYueru, who moves more effectively despite similar height.
4) Teaira McCowan | 6’7” | Dallas Wings
McCowan is one of the most physically imposing and dominant players in the league. A former No. 3 overall pick, she’s a consistent double-double threat every time she hits the court and anchors Dallas’ defense with her quick rebounding and tenacious interior play. Prince is not an imposing and dominant player. Her effort and durability raise concerns at the professional level.
5) Kamilla Cardoso | 6’7”| Chicago Sky
Cardoso made an immediate impact in her rookie season with the Sky. The athletic, mobile big averaged 9.8 points, 1.4 blocks, 3.0 offensive rebounds, and 4.9 defensive rebounds per game, earning All-Rookie honors in 2024. With her modern skillset and upside, she’s already outperforming expectations. Cardoso outshined Prince at the NCAA level and will continue to do so in the WNBA.
End Of My Sedona Prince And WNBA Rant
Despite the hype surrounding her height and name recognition following her seven-year collegiate career, Prince has done little to prove she truly belongs at the next level, let alone as a first-round pick. She has too many red flags for any franchise looking to build sustainable success to invest one of their picks on her. In a rapidly growing league that demands consistency, accountability, and professionalism, there are simply better athletes available.
