2024 WNBA Draft on Sling TV
Sling TV’s Orange base plan includes ESPN for just $40.00/mo. It literally does not get cheaper than that.
The only drawback of the Orange plan (versus Sling Blue, also $40.00/mo) is that it can only stream on one device at a time. But remember, with a streaming service, you can add and subtract services month-to-month. No long-term commitments.

2024 WNBA Draft Top Prospects Rankings
While nothing’s certain, these are the names to come out of some early rankings and mock drafts:
- Caitlin Clark (Iowa Hawkeyes, point guard)
- Cameron Brink (Stanford Cardinal, power forward)
- Kamilla Cardoso (South Carolina Gamecocks, center)
- Aaliyah Edwards (UConn Huskies, power forward)
- Rickea Jackson (Tennessee Volunteers, power forward)
- Angel Reese (LSU Tigers, power forward)
- Georgia Amoore (Virginia Tech Hokies, point guard)
- Alissa Pili (Utah Utes, power forward)
- Charisma Osborne (UCLA, shooting guard)
- Jacy Sheldon (Ohio State Buckeyes, shooting guard)
Some of these athletes have another year of eligibility for college ball, and haven’t decided yet, so don’t count on all those names being called come Draft Night. Caitlin Clark is fairly certain to be the No. 1 overall pick — last year’s No. 1 pick was Aliyah Boston.
