Entering 2025, many analysts pegged the Dallas Wings roster as a dark-horse playoff team, led by the backcourt pairing of No. 1 draft pick Paige Bueckers and four-time WNBA All-Star Arike Ogunbowale.

While Bueckers' odds to be Rookie of the Year aren't nearly as short as her No. 1 pick odds, she's still a heavy -350 favorite for the award at BetMGM. Dominique Malonga is next at +450, followed by Sonia Citron at +800 and Kiki Iriafen at +1000.

Only 19, Malonga will need time to get adjusted to the speed of the WNBA. However, she should help the Storm in the paint as soon as she hits the court. We have a feeling Seattle will try to get Malonga involved as much as possible on defense and under the basket. By season's end, we have a feeling she'll be a star.
