There are some extremely talented players in college basketball right now playing their last season.<\/p>\n<p>This might be the best class entering the draft in the last few years. Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and more made the 2024 WNBA Draft special. National champion Paige Bueckers stole the show in 2025. But for 2026, there is not one or two clear-cut names for whom fans will get excited. Multiple players deserve recognition and excitement.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent mock draft, we got a glimpse of what the 2026 WNBA Draft might look like. The top 5 included Lauren Betts, Awa Fam, Olivia Miles, Azzi Fudd, and Flau\u2019jae Johnson.
