Unlike last year’s star-driven class, the 2026 draft is wide open at the top, with several players in contention for the first overall pick.
Azzi Fudd of UConn is one of the most polished scorers available, averaging around 17 points per game while shooting efficiently from three, making her one of the best pure shooters in the class.
Olivia Miles has also surged up boards after a standout season at TCU, putting up roughly 20 points, 6 assists, and 6 rebounds per game, showcasing elite playmaking ability.
Meanwhile, international prospect Awa Fam has drawn major attention as a high-upside center with size, athleticism, and long-term potential, making her a legitimate candidate to go first overall.

The depth of the class is equally impressive, especially from recent NCAA Tournament standouts. Lauren Betts, a 6’7” center from UCLA, anchors the frontcourt group after averaging around 17 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 blocks, while teammates like Kiki Rice and Gabriela Jaquez have also boosted their stock following a national title run.
Guards like Flau’jae Johnson and Ta’Niya Latson bring scoring versatility after posting high averages in college, while international players such as Iyana Martín and Nell Angloma add to one of the most globally diverse draft pools in recent years.
