The WNBA 2026 draft predictions are becoming increasingly difficult each week, as more players are producing incredible performances for their teams. After many predictions showing Azzi Fudd or Lauren Betts taking the top spot, the latest mock draft shows Awa Fam landing with the Wings in the 2026 WNBA draft. Similarly, there is a change in position for Flau’jae Johnson, too.
Talking about one of the deepest WNBA drafts, all 15 franchises have a chance to get a top young player on the roster. While the LSU guard had been in the top five picks for many months now, the player dropped out of top-5 in the latest mock draft.

The current crop of draft prospects includes a mix of top guards and forwards, giving the franchise the option to strengthen any position. Betts and Fam lead the forwards lineup, while there are multiple top guards from every program.
Among the guards, TCU’s Olivia Miles, UConn’s Azzi Fudd, and UCLA’s Kiki Rice are in the race for top guard pick from the 2026 class. LSU’s star also joins the mix. The new mock draft shows that the Sky franchise could choose Kiki Rice over the LSU star, citing her impact on UCLA’s current success.

This will allow the Tempo team to pursue the talented guard, who will not only provide them with a two-way player but also a fan magnet and a young player who could quickly become part of their core.
