Who could be the Dallas Wings' top pick in 2026? The answer remains uncertain, as the team secured the top pick in the 2026 WNBA draft for the second consecutive year. This is a significant moment for the Wings, who had a challenging 2025 season with a 10-34 record and a 9-31 record the previous year. The team's general manager, Curt Miller, expressed the excitement and anticipation surrounding the upcoming draft, noting the increased interest and pre-draft calls compared to the previous year. The Wings' top pick has been a topic of speculation among fans, with UConn guard Azzi Fudd being the projected No. 4 pick before the lottery. However, after securing the top pick, Fudd's draft position moved up to No. 1 in ESPN's mock draft. Fudd and Paige Bueckers, who won a championship together at UConn, have a personal connection, adding an interesting dynamic to the draft. Bueckers was drafted No. 1 overall in 2025, and the Wings now face a crucial decision with no clear consensus on the top pick. The draft also features Spain's Awa Fam, a 6-4 center projected at No. 2, TCU guard Olivia Miles at No. 3, and UCLA center Lauren Betts at No. 4. LSU's Flau'jae Johnson completes the top 5. Miller's recent hiring of new coach Jose Fernandez and the team's aggressive scouting efforts indicate a thorough evaluation process for the upcoming season. With the draft approaching, the Wings are poised to make a significant impact, and the basketball world eagerly awaits their decision.
