Unlocking the Future: Which WNBA Legends Are This Year's Top Draft Prospects Destined to Resemble?

Unlike last year’s class, which had a clear top selection in Paige Bueckers, the 2026 WNBA Draft is more balanced. There’s no universally agreed upon No. 1 pick, and multiple players have legitimate cases to be selected first overall depending on team philosophy and fit.

To help sort through that uncertainty, we used DRIP, our all-in-one player performance model, to build a draft model that projects the WNBA careers of the top prospects who played NCAA basketball. This is an important distinction as the model only evaluates players who competed at U.S. colleges and doesn’t include international prospects, including Awa Fam, who is expected to be selected with one of the first picks of the three-round draft Monday night. These rankings reflect what the data says about long-term value, not how players are expected to be selected on draft night.
