The upcoming WNBA draft is generating mixed opinions among fans regarding the top pick between Paige Bueckers and Olivia Miles. A fan on X (formerly Twitter) sparked this debate by claiming that Olivia Miles deserves the number one spot in the upcoming draft.
This statement led to a heated discussion among fans in the comments section. While some fans supported Miles, others acknowledged that Bueckers was not having the best season this year.
“Olivia Miles should be the number 1 overall pick this spring.”
Other fans chimed in with their own perspectives in the comments.
“I agree she definitely should,” a fan expressed in support.
“Agreed. Paige is overrated and Olivia is underrated. She would receive more positive media attention if not for attending a Catholic school,” another fan added.
“Agree. I like Paige, she’s really good. But this isn’t her season, and she’s not showcasing her full potential so far. I hope she proves me wrong, but based on how the UConn team is performing against top teams, they might struggle in the NCAA tournament,” another fan remarked.
Another group of fans shared their opinions on Paige Bueckers and her chances of being selected as the top pick.
“Olivia Miles won’t be the #1 overall pick due to high school recruiting rankings. Unfortunate reality.”
“PB5 is better than Miles, c’mon,” another fan defended.
In terms of statistics, Paige Bueckers and Olivia Miles are having a comparable season. Bueckers is averaging 19.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game, while Miles is averaging 16.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 7.1 assists per game. Miles is performing better as a point guard compared to Bueckers this season, which could impact their draft rankings.
Analyst touts Olivia Miles to Chicago amid Paige Bueckers 2025 WNBA draft rumors
NBC Sports’ Natalie Esquire shared her preference for Olivia Miles over other players, suggesting that she should join the Chicago Sky. In a comment under Owen Pence’s post, Esquire advocated for Miles to go to Chicago.
“Hush Owen. Olivia needs to go to Chicago.”
Esquire’s allegiance to the Chicago Sky and Angel Reese is evident, but given the Sky’s third pick in the draft, their chances of landing either top player seem slim.
