The Dallas Wings are projected to select UConn guard Azzi Fudd with the No. 1 pick in ESPN's 2026 WNBA mock draft. Fudd, who averages 17.5 points per game and shoots 45.5% from three-point range, could reunite with former Huskies teammate Paige Bueckers in Dallas. The 26-0 UConn team is chasing its seventh perfect season, with Fudd playing a crucial role in their dominance.

Minnesota Lynx are expected to take Spanish center Awa Fam at No. 2, despite her limited WNBA experience. At just 19 years old, Fam plays professionally in Spain and brings significant potential to work under veteran coach Cheryl Reeve. The Seattle Storm are projected to select TCU point guard Olivia Miles third, who leads the Horned Frogs with 20.5 points, 6.6 assists, and 6.8 rebounds per game.

UCLA center Lauren Betts heads to the Washington Mystics at No. 4, providing much-needed size in the post. Betts has been consistent for the 24-1 Bruins, averaging 16.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks. LSU shooting guard Flau'jae Johnson goes to the Chicago Sky at No. 5, bringing improved three-point shooting at 43.9% and strong defensive energy to the Windy City roster.
