The 2026 WNBA draft came and went—but did, at least, last much longer than a certain expansion draft earlier this month.
In one of the marquee events of the year, the W’s top prospects heard their names called on Monday night at Hudson Yards in New York, with the Dallas Wings taking Azzi Fudd with the No. 1 pick. The Minnesota Lynx took TCU guard Olivia Miles with the No. 2 pick, followed by the Seattle Storm drafting Spain’s Awa Fam Thiam, the Washington Mystics drafting UCLA star Lauren Betts and the Chicago Sky surprising reaching for UCLA guard Gabriela Jaquez to round out the top-five.
