You forgot #22 Niya Johnson. Bulgak is at 21.
I think they are vastly underrating Stevens. IMO, she will be a top 15 player this year, if not top 10.

| I'm thinking ESPN needs to find a happy medium...three to see was too few last year, 25 is too many this year....

They've always done a Top 5 at Each Position, I think they're just consolidating that into one list.

I'll wager they are from the SEC (network)

It's ESPN. Hence I expect the first four to be Stewart, Jefferson, Tuck and DeShields in some order with Kelsey Mitchell, Wilson and Nurse to follow in some order.

| Why the hell is Adut Bulgat so low? She is clearly in the high end of the top 11 to 15, say around 11 or 12 if not higher. She got game.

| Top 10 will be, in some order: Stewart, Jefferson, T. Mitchell, K. Mitchell, Turner, Wilson, Davis, DeShields, Moore, and...I'm going to go with Plum? Tuck, Alston, Vivians and Epps are the others that I could see but I'm frankly not sure any of those players, including Plum, are deserving of Top-10 status when Aerial Powers and Azura Stevens (still SMH that they have her at 24) didn't make the cut. Am I missing someone obvious?

So that leaves in some order Mitchell, Mitchell, Davis, Jefferson and Stewart.
I'm shocked that ESPN would leave DeShields out of the top 5. Does that presage some reduced level of Diamond hype for this year? I fully expected her to be 2 or 3. Didn't the ESPN PR dept get to see this list before it was released?

Man, ESPN is really pimping the 2018 draft class, even if DeShields declares in 2017. Let's just indiscriminately clump most of the sophomores together.
Me
1. Stewart
2. KMitchell
3. Jefferson
4. TMitchell
5. Davis
ESPNW
1. Stewart
2. Jefferson
3. TMitchell
4. Davis
5. KMitchell

I think so too, but she is a bit of a volume shooter. I also think that Kia Nurse(maybe I'm a homer, but I don't think I am) should have been in the top 25 as well. I understand not having four players from one team in the top 25, but there are very few gaurds, if any, that I would take over Kia Nurse on this list.

I am most surprised by the omission of Mariya Moore from this list completely.
Shades, I am not surprised to see so any 2018 players at the top of this list. IMO, this class will be competitive with the 2001 WNBA class as the best ever. At least 5 superstar talents at the top and quality depth into the second round.

Ever since witnessing her freshman year, I've been high on KMitch. No problem there, but it surprised me to see half of the Top 8 are sophomores.
I can see ESPN now.... these are the Super Sophs.
