Flau'jae Johnson 2026 WNBA Draft projections: Who will pick LSU star?

Flau'jae Johnson is ready to take the next step in her basketball career.

Her illustrious career with LSU women's basketball came to an end last month. LSU lost in the Sweet 16 on a beater buzzer to Duke in Sacramento, California. The loss meant Johnson was on to the 2026 WNBA Draft, which is in New York City Monday, April 13 (7 p.m., ESPN).

Johnson played all four of her college seasons for Kim Mulkey for LSU in Baton Rouge. The LSU star helped the Tigers win a national championship in her freshman year and ended her career with more than 2,000 points scored and a multi-time All American and All-SEC performer.

Flau'jae Johnson WNBA Draft projections

While there are a couple of different destinations where Johnson could land Monday night, one thing all projections agree on is that she will be a top 10 draft choice in the WNBA Draft. The question is how long will she be on the board?

Entering this season, Johnson was considered a consensus top five pick, with a few places having her being selected No. 4 overall.

With her senior season complete, ESPN still have Johnson as a top five draft choice, projecting the Chicago Sky will take her No. 5 overall.

The Athletic and CBS Sports have Johnson falling further down the line though. Both outlets predict she will come off the board No. 9 overall spot to the Washington Mystics.
