Kiki Iriafen

Elena Delle Donne officially announced her retirement during the offseason, but Iriafen should provide immediate frontcourt production for the Mystics as a rookie in 2025 after being selected with the No. 4 pick in the draft. Iriafen spent her first three collegiate seasons at Stanford but transferred to USC following a breakout junior year, and she remained dominant with the Trojans. Over the last two seasons, the 22-year-old averaged 18.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 29.0 minutes per game, and she should see ample playing time as a rookie, even if she has to settle for a bench role behind Stefanie Dolson, Aaliyah Edwards and Shakira Austin. The Mystics struggled on the boards last year, so Iriafen should be able to provide a boost while also offering solid scoring potential, which could give her some fantasy upside. Read Past Outlooks
