The 2026 WNBA Draft is here, and the Dallas Wings are on the clock with the No. 1 overall pick. Dallas hit the jackpot last year with Rookie of the Year Paige Bueckers, and now the team needs to find a co-star for the all-world lead guard if it’s going to eventually get into the playoff mix. Check out our 2026 WNBA mock draft here for more analysis on this class.
UCLA recently won the women’s national championship, and it should be represented well in this draft. Star center Lauren Betts is expected to go in the top-3 as a 6’7 big with graceful scoring moves inside. Gabriela Jaquez, Kiki Rice, and Gianna Kneepkens are also considered potential first-round picks after helping the Bruins win it all.
There’s something for everyone in this class. TCU’s Olivia Miles is a brilliant point guard prospect who provides elite playmaking with improved shooting ability. Betts is a dominant classic post player, while Spain’s Awa Fam is the type of mobile big teams dreams about. UConn’s Azzi Fudd is a knockdown three-point shooter, while LSU’s Flau’Jae Johnson is an athletic wing who can defend at a high level.
This draft is especially exciting because it marks the first selections for two new expansion teams, the Toronto Tempo and Portland Fire. Both teams already had their expansion drafts, and now Toronto will be picking at No. 6 while Portland chooses at No. 7.
