Azzi Fudd Slides to No. 4 in Final 2026 WNBA Mock Draft; Awa Fam Remains Top Prospect

Azzi Fudd dropped two spots to fourth overall in the final 2026 WNBA Draft mock, while Awa Fam maintained her position at No. 1, according to The Athletic. The Washington Mystics selected Fudd with the fourth pick, highlighting her 45% three-point shooting this season and her defensive improvements.

Dallas Wings hold the top pick and are expected to choose Fam, a 19-year-old center from Valencia, Spain. Despite UCLA’s Lauren Betts being more polished, Fam’s age and upside make her a long-term project. Fam’s combination of athleticism, shooting, and court vision position her as a potential fit alongside Dallas’ Paige Bueckers.

Betts, who won the Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player award, fell to No. 2 and is projected to go to the Minnesota Lynx. She averaged 21 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks in the NCAA Tournament while shooting 68.8% from the field.

TCU’s Olivia Miles held steady at No. 3 and is expected to be selected by the Seattle Storm. Her playmaking and scoring ability stood out during the tournament. Coach Mark Campbell praised her vision, saying, “There's like half a dozen people in the world that have her vision that can process it that quickly, that can throw a one-handed bounce pass to the opposite corner, off the dribble, on a laser and then do it with their left hand.”

UCLA’s Gabriela Jaquez jumped three spots to No. 7 and is projected to land with the Portland Fire after a dominant performance in the national title game, where she recorded 21 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists.

South Carolina’s Ta’Niya Latson climbed to No. 8 after a strong tournament showing. Toronto Tempo, which secured the sixth pick in an offseason coin flip, is expected to select Iyana Martin from Avenida in Spain.

The final mock draft also sees Kiki Rice going to the Chicago Sky at No. 5 and Flau'jae Johnson heading to the Golden State Valkyries at No. 9. The WNBA Draft is set for Monday, where teams will finalize their selections and begin shaping the 2026 season.
