At 5'11, Azzi Fudd is one of the best 3 point shooting prospects the WNBA has ever seen, especially as an off ball threat. This past college season, she converted on 44.7% from deep on almost 6.7 attempts a game, a number which by itself makes her worthy of a top selection.

Fudd excels on the defensive side of the ball with her value stemming from elite positioning and defensive playmaking instincts rather than raw lateral explosiveness or athleticism. She is an exceptionally disciplined defender who rarely bails out opponents, and is elite in the passing lanes which is evidenced by her 2.5 steals per game this past season.

Self creation will be Fudd's greatest swing skill at the next level. Despite her high 3 point volume, her diet consisted almost exclusively of catch and shoot looks or transition pull ups, with off the dribble looks being few and far between. However, she balances this with a tight handle and a lethal mid range pull up game that forces defenders to stay honest when closing out on the perimeter. While she is a crafty finisher on cuts and in the open floor, she rarely seeks out or goes through contact, resulting in an extremely low free throw rate that limits her scoring ceiling.

Lauren Betts is coming off one of the most dominant March Madness runs we have seen in recent memory, leading UCLA to their first ever Women's college title.

Betts is a game altering anchor who has averaged more than 2 blocks a game her last 3 college seasons, with her towering 6'7" frame often forcing guards to abandon the paint entirely rather than challenge her length. One of the most underappreciated parts of Betts' game is how she is able to stay disciplined, having a rarely low foul rate despite the high block volume.

Offensively, Betts is extremely efficient, averaging about 62% from the field across her college career. Her shot diet consists of a lot of post ups and sealing off the smaller defender before flipping it in right over them. While Betts' 3 point shot remains non-existent, her assist numbers have risen every season of her college career, showcasing a growing playmaking ability that forces defenses to respect her as a facilitator and prevents them from simply collapsing on her in the paint.

There are some concerns that Betts' traditional bruising big type of game won't translate as well to the WNBA, but her high floor and combination of size and defensive prowess make her a guaranteed top selection.

Kiki Rice has risen up draftboards following a standout senior season where she contributed to UCLA's historic 2026 championship run. Standing at 5'11", Rice is an all rounded floor general who possesses a rare level of poise, leadership and scoring versatility and is capable of controlling the game's tempo without needing high usage to be effective.

Rice is an absolute blur running downhill, thriving when she can push the pace and put immediate pressure on a retreating defense. Her scoring arsenal has become increasingly sharp, defined by a lethal mid range game where she is one of the draft's most elite pull up shooters.

The outside jumper remains Rice's most significant swing skill. After spending much of her career as a low to mid 30% shooter from deep, she converted a career best 38% this past season. If this perimeter consistency holds and continues to improve at the next level, Rice has the chance to be a legitimate 3 level scoring threat.

As both a defender and a playmaker, Rice tends to make the right play rather than the flashy one, which is a testament to her high basketball IQ and maturity. Her ability to utilise her high motor and lateral speed to turn back opposing ball handlers makes her a reliable and consistent perimeter defender.
