2026 WNBA DRAFT RESULTS
| # | First Round | Updated 4/13/26 – 8:05am |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dallas Wings | Azzi Fudd – UConn – 5-11 – Guard – Quick with the dribble and a high level athlete Fudd looks like a future WNBA star. She has a picture-perfect jumper with a quick release and deadly accuracy. She’s not the most physically imposing guard out there but is a fast, high-energy player who has a big impact on both ends. |
| 2 | Minn. Lynx (Sky) | Awa Fam – Spain – 6-4 – Forward/Center – Fam has great size and impressive mobility. She’s an instinctual defender, can anchor a defense and has big time upside on both ends of the court. Fam will bring professional experience and elite tools to whichever team draft her. She’s a great finisher off the pick and roll and has the size/tools to be a big time WNBA player. |
| 3 | Seattle Storm (Sparks) | Olivia Miles – TCU – 5-10 – Guard – An elite all around talent who can score, defend and pass the rock with the best of them. A walking triple double who impacts all aspects of the game and is one of the best passers/play-makers to enter the W in years. |
| 4 | Wash. Mystics | Lauren Betts– UCLA – 6- 7 – Center – A dominant presence in the paint who controls the glass on both ends and has good footwork and a soft touch around the basket. Betts is incredibly efficient with her touches and is a high feel and high BBIQ player who takes great shots. She projects as a long term starting center at the next level. |
| 5 | Chicago Sky (Sun) | Kiki Rice – UCLA – 5-11 – Guard – A guard that excels at operating the pick and roll and getting downhill to the basket, Rice is an offensive engine and play-maker with the upside to be a high-level starter in the W. |
| 6 | Toronto Tempo | Maggie Doogan – Richmond – 6-2 – Guard/Forward – A high level scorer and shot-maker who is a great off ball player. Does a great job of spacing the floor, hitting 3’s and impacting both ends. One of the best scorers in the draft class |
| 7 | Portland Fire | Gianna Kneepkens – UCLA – 5-11 – Guard – A great shooter with range on her jumper, Kneepkens is more of an off-ball guard who offers some secondary play-making. Warps the defense with her ability to hit the 3-ball. |
| 8 | Golden State Valkyrie | Nell Angloma – France – 6-0 – Guard – A high-energy guard/wing who gets after it on both ends. Is a high level athlete, great transition player and can really get to the rim. |
| 9 | Wash. Mystics (Storm) | Gabriela Jaquez – UCLA – 6-0 – Guard – A do-it-all wing who doesn’t need to score the ball to have a big impact on the game. Rebounds, defends, runs the floor and mixes it up on both ends. She might not be a star but should be a very valuable contributor at the next level. |
| 10 | Indiana Fever | Flau’jae Johnson – LSU – 5-10 – Guard – A star on and off the court, Johnson is a quick, skilled and fiery competitor who changes the game with her athleticism and play-making. |
| 11 | Wash. Mystics (Liberty) | Madina Okot –South Carolina – 6-6 – Center – An imposing presence in the paint, Okot is still fairly new to the game and just scratching the surface of her potential. She’s an elite rebounder and a good interior defender with an unrefined offensive game. |
| 12 | Conn. Sun (Mercury) | Chloe Kitts – South Carolina – 6-3 – Forward – A versatile forward who can score inside and out and has a solid mid range game. Moves well and changes ends in a flash. |
| 13 | ATL Dream | Ashlon Jackson – Duke – 6-0 – Guard – A solid two-way guard who excels in transition, has some play-making chops and mixes it up on both ends. |
| 14 | Seattle Storm (Aces) | Raven Johnson – South Carolina – 5-9 – Guard – A true point guard with a great combination of flare and poise. Now’s how to run the show and get everyone involved. |
| 15 | Conn. Sun (Lynx) | Ta’Niya Latson – South Carolina – 5-8 – Guard – A high scoring guard and a big time athlete. Has transferred from Florida State to SC. |
