2015 WNBA draft


The 2015 WNBA draft was the league's draft for the 2015 WNBA season. The Seattle Storm picked first.
This year's draft was unusual in that two players with remaining college eligibility declared for the draft—Jewell Loyd of Notre Dame, who had one year of eligibility remaining, and Amanda Zahui B. of Minnesota, with two years remaining. Both players were draft-eligible by virtue of their births in 1993; under current draft rules, players who turn 22 in the calendar year of the draft can declare themselves eligible even if they have not completed college eligibility. Before this season, only two players with remaining college eligibility had ever entered the WNBA draft, and only one of these did so before her fourth college season.
