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.

Here is the official starting lineup for Team Collier.
- Guard - Paige Bueckers
- Guard - Allisha Gray
- Forward - Nneka Ogwumike

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's team full of UConn, Lunar Owls players, plus Caitlin Clark's rival
Naphees 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.
The rest of her roster also featured Unrivaled players such as Angel Reese, Alyssa Thomas, Kelsey Plum and Rhyne Howard. 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 Reese and 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.
