Three-Way Chase for WNBA Draft No. 1: Fudd, Miles, and Fam

Azzi Fudd, Olivia Miles, and Awa Fam are the leading candidates for the No. 1 pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft. Fudd averaged 17.3 points per game in her final season at UConn; Miles posted 19.6 ppg and 6.5 assists in her first year with TCU after transferring from Notre Dame; Fam, 19, is playing in Spain and has high ceiling but less college experience. Dallas is a likely destination for the top pick after drafting Paige Bueckers last year. The draft unfolds after a busy offseason with a new CBA, expansion draft, and record free-agent signings, ahead of the May 8, 2026 season start.
