Former South Carolina Gamecocks standout and now LSU Tigers guard MiLaysia Fulwiley<\/a> has made her prediction on who she thinks will win the 2025 WNBA championship, and it\u2019s not former Gamecocks star A\u2019ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces. In a recent episode of Sports Illustrated\u2019s \u201cAround the W\u201d show on YouTube<\/a> on Sunday, Aug. 31, Fulwiley was being interviewed on several questions that surround basketball.<\/p>\n

At the final point of the interview, host Maria Clifton placed Fulwiley in the hot seat by asking her who she thinks will win this year\u2019s WNBA championship. Despite this, Fulwiley had a confident answer that calls on her previous comparisons with Minnesota Lynx guard Courtney Williams for their similar personalities and play styles.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, that\u2019s easy. I got Minnesota. I think it\u2019s Minnesota,\u201d Fulwiley answered before\u00a0Clifton responded with, \u201cYou think it\u2019s Minnesota? They\u2019re coming back for that revenge tour, huh?\u201d Fulwiley then assertively said, \u201cI mean, they just got a good team. They play like they understand the assignment. You know what I\u2019m saying? Like if you watch them, you get what I\u2019m trying to say.\u201d (13:52)<\/p>\n

Fulwiley herself is a national champion with her previous program, coach Dawn Staley\u2019s<\/a> Gamecocks, wherein they won it back in the 2024 national tournament through an 87-75 victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes. In her final year with the team last season, they were defeated in the 2025 NCAA title game by the UConn Huskies, 82-59.<\/p>\n

MiLaysia Fulwiley names three players that are currently her favorites to watch in the WNBA<\/p>\n

Also during her interview on Sports Illustrated\u2019s \u201cAround the W\u201d show on YouTube, MiLaysia Fulwiley was also asked about who her favorite players are to watch in the WNBA currently. The incoming third-year star then mentions her former college basketball rival and now Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers, as well as some of her former teammates, such as Atlanta Dream\u2019s Te-Hina Paopao and Los Angeles Sparks forward Sania Feagin.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeveral players but like this season, probably Paige is like really killing it, like she\u2019s fantastic, and I like to watch like my older teammates. So like Te-Hina Paopao\u2026Yeah, she\u2019s been balling. Sania (Feagin), she\u2019s been balling. So, it\u2019s just more of like yeah, probably those three. I watch a lot of it, but like my favorite players to watch are those three,\u201d Fulwiley shared. (13:05)<\/p>\n

Fulwiley now joins coach Kim Mulkey\u2019s<\/a> squad for the upcoming 2025-26 collegiate hoops campaign, who recently just finished the 2024-25 season with an overall record of 31-6 (12-4 SEC). They were then bounced out of this year\u2019s NCAA tournament in the Elite Eight by the UCLA Bruins, 72-65.<\/p>\n
