Lucy Olsen, a standout guard from Iowa, is projected to be a second-round pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft. After transferring from Villanova, Olsen had an impressive season with the Hawkeyes, averaging 17.9 points, 5.1 assists, and 3.6 rebounds per game.

These picks are often overlooked during the draft process but can turn out to be hidden gems due to their talent or development over time.
