WNBA Draft 2026: Dallas Wings Eye Spanish Phenom Fam
19 Feb
Summary
- Dallas Wings likely to select Spanish center Awa Fam with the first pick.
- CBA negotiations create uncertainty for WNBA free agency and expansion.
- Mock draft highlights top prospects like Azzi Fudd and Olivia Miles.
The 2026 WNBA Draft is set for April 13, with the Dallas Wings holding the highly anticipated No. 1 pick. Current projections indicate they will select Spanish center Awa Fam, whose size and scoring ability align with the team's needs. Fam's potential to replicate a successful post-entry dynamic makes her a prime candidate.
Significant uncertainty surrounds the WNBA landscape due to ongoing Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations. This has impacted free agency and the expansion drafts for the Portland Fire and Toronto Tempo, whose draft order remains undecided and will be settled by a coin flip.
The latest mock draft showcases a deep pool of talent, including UConn's Azzi Fudd at No. 2 to the Minnesota Lynx and TCU's Olivia Miles at No. 3 to the Seattle Storm. Other notable prospects projected in the top five are UCLA's Lauren Betts (Washington Mystics) and LSU's Flau'jae Johnson (Chicago Sky).
