Napheesa Collier's WNBA All-Star team 2025: All starters, reserves, new coach & more details revealed

Napheesa Collier has selected her 2025 WNBA All-Star team following Tuesday's draft with fellow captain Caitlin Clark. Collier and Clark were named captains after receiving the most fan votes, with the Indiana Fever star barely passing the current MVP favorite.

Collier had the second pick of the draft and went with business partner and fellow UConn legend, Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty. She also drafted Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray, Seattle Storm forward Nneka Ogwumike and Dallas Wings rookie guard Paige Bueckers.

Here is the starting lineup for Team Collier.

In the second round of the draft, Napheesa Collier selected teammate Courtney Williams with her first pick. Collier followed it up with her Unrivaled teammate and Seattle Storm star Skylar Diggins, Chicago Sky star Angel Reese, Phoenix Mercury dynamo Alyssa Thomas, LA Sparks guard Kelsey Plum and the Atlanta Dream's Rhyne Howard.

Here are the official All-Star reserves for Team Collier.

At the end of the draft, the two captains agreed to trade coaches. Cheryl Reeve will now be in charge of Team Collier, while Sandy Brondello is now the coach for Team Clark.

It made sense for both captains since Reeve is Napheesa Collier's coach for the Minnesota Lynx. Reeve also has a history with Clark, taking shots at the Iowa product last season during her rookie year.

Napheesa Collier went with familiarity in her All-Star draft, selecting fellow UConn players Breanna Stewart and Paige Bueckers in the first round. She also picked Lunar Owls teammates Allisha Gray, Courtney Williams and Skylar Diggins.

She also facilitated the trade for coach Cheryl Reeve, who is now tasked with leading Team Collier in the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game.

Collier also ensured that Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark would be on opposite teams in the All-Star game. Clark had the opportunity to take Reese with her second pick of the second round, but drafted Gabby Williams instead.
