The WNBA offseason has just ended. And with it, it brought a lot of excitement regarding the upcoming 2026 draft. With some of the best rookies across the world expected to line up, the teams are expected to jump in to secure the best players.
As of now, Awa Fam looks like a potential No. 1 pick owing to her performance in the EuroLeague. However, it looks like Fam might have some serious competition.
In a recent turn of events, Isobel Borlase had one of the biggest games of her career. And it is sure to make several WNBA franchises sit up and take note.

Surely, with such a showing, Borlase has made a strong case for her WNBA inclusion. However, it is unclear if she will be interested in coming into the WNBA immediately. Much like Olivia Miles, who opted out of the WNBA Draft. Meanwhile, a closer look at the 21-year-old’s numbers will make it appear even more intriguing.
Isobel Borlase Makes A Strong Statement With Her Performance
Owing to some excellent showing from Borloase, the Spirit took early control of the game. In the first quarter itself, Bentigo went ahead 23-18. And they did not let that advantage go. In the third quarter, when they had a 30-21 stint, it pretty much settled the story for the night.

Thanks to a stellar showing from Borlase, the Spirit shot 57.5% from the field. When it came to three-pointers, Bentigo had a 42.9% success rate, converting a whopping nine three-pointers.
Thus, it is evident that Borlase’s performance has riled up the hoop world. Whether she can keep up with the good work will be an interesting prospect to ponder upon in the future.
