UCLA Women’s Basketball: How To Watch Likely First Round Pick Charisma Osborne's Draft Fate

UCLA Bruins women's basketball superstar guard Charisma Osborne's college tenure may be over, but her basketball life is just beginning!

To wit, the All-Pac-12 wing is expected to be selected near the end of the first round, or perhaps at the top of the second round in tonight's WNBA draft at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in Brooklyn, New York.

Fans can tune in to the action at 4:30 p.m. PT on ESPN. If streaming's your thing, check it out on Sling TV or Fubo TV, or via ESPN+.

The Connecticut Sun have the No. 10 pick in this year's draft, the New York Liberty No. 11, the Atlanta Dream No. 12. That's the end of the first round. At the beginning of the second round, the Chicago Sky have the No. 13 selection, the Seattle Storm have the No. 14 pick, and the Fever have the No. 15 pick. That 10-15 real estate seems most likely to be Osborne's range.

During a decorated UCLA tenure, Osborne was a four-time All-Pac-12 honoree, two-time Pac-12 All-Defense inclusion, and two-time All-Pac-12 Tourney selection. The 5'9" Moreno Valley native had a graduate student season to remember in 2023-24. She averaged 13.9 points on .410/.322/.892 shooting splits, 5.2 rebounds, four assists, and 1.6 steals a night across 34 contests (all starts) for the 27-7 Bruins, whose season ended in the Sweet Sixteen for the second straight year.
