Olivia Miles might interest Cameron Brink’s LA Sparks, Angel Reese’s Chicago Sky more than Paige Bueckers, NCAA analyst explains

The upcoming 2025 WNBA Draft will be big for Olivia Miles and Paige Bueckers, projected to be picked in the top five picks. A basketball analyst provided his stance on what might go down on draft night for teams.

Robin Lundberg uploaded a video of the "Robin Lundberg Show" to YouTube on Saturday, giving his thoughts on the scenario of WNBA teams like Cameron Brink's Los Angeles Sparks and Angel Reese's Chicago Sky deciding between Bueckers and Miles.

"Basketball wise, if I'm the Sparks, I'm sitting there where I was licking my chops about the idea of getting Olivia Miles there with the players that they already have under contract or on the team with Brink coming back," Lundberg said at the 5:45 mark.

"The Sky sits in that third spot. They probably, of course, wanted Olivia Miles. I don't know if she's gonna fall that far at this point. And I've just presented the notion that Miles could be as good, if not better, than Buecker's or proved to be."
