These factors are regularized RAPM-style estimates of how the player moves her team's performance relative to league baseline when she's on the floor. ORAPM/DRAPM summarize overall offensive and defensive impact per 100 possessions; the sub-rows approximate impact on effective shooting, turnover margin, rebounding, and free-throw pressure, then unpack where shots come from (profile/deterrence) and how they are finished or contested (making/defense). The offensive components incorporate priors to stabilize estimates, while the defensive components are currently fit without priors.
Flau'Jae Johnson is one of the most exciting and dynamic players in this year's class. Standing at 5'10", Johnson is an explosive guard/wing that combines vertical pop and end to end speed with a handle that allows her to fully leverage that physicality in space.
Johnson is able to score efficiently at all three levels. Whether operating out of the pick and roll or creating in isolation, she gets to her spots with ease, using long strides and bursts to create separation. She plays with a natural confidence and flair, capable of breaking defenders down and making difficult shots look routine.
Johnson offers high level defensive upside at the WNBA level. Her athleticism allows her to mirror ball handlers in isolation and navigate screens with ease. Averaging close to a block per game as a guard, Johnson has great timing and verticality to challenge taller opponents on the weakside.
At times, however, Flau'Jae can overcomplicate the game, often overdribbling or predetermining her next move before she gets there. She also needs to clean up her passing and processing as she has a pretty bad assist to turnover ratio. Her low assist to turnover ratio highlights the need for improved processing and cleaner reads, particularly if she's going to take on more on ball responsibility at the next level.

After leading the nation in scoring at Florida State at 25.2ppg, Latson transferred to South Carolina last year, embracing a reduced offensive role in favour of a more team oriented system and championship contention.
At 5'8", Latson is an elite athlete whose game is driven by her explosive first step and exceptional finishing ability. Despite her smaller stature, she frequently meets taller defenders at the summit and finishes with a level of craft and body control that is rarely seen in guards her size.
In transition, she is equally dangerous, ranking as one of the top fastbreak scorers in college basketball, where her burst and dribble control allow her to navigate through traffic at full speed. This interior aggression makes her a walking foul magnet, averaging almost 6.5 free throws a night, often bailing out broken offensive possessions by seeking out contact.
While Latson isn't a terrible playmaker, she still lacks the high level vision of a pure point guard, and will often be turned over when trying to offload or kick out the ball on her hard drives to the rim. Additionally, her 1-5 shooting performance in the national title game against UCLA's size and skillset may make teams question whether her downhill rim running scoring style will be able to adapt to the modern WNBA.
NELL ANGLOMA
Nell Angloma stands out as one of the most raw and high upside prospects in the 2026 draft class. A product of the elite French basketball pipeline, the 19 year old forward offers a combination of high basketball IQ, physical tools and defensive maturity.
Standing at 6'1" with a long, wiry frame, Angloma's game is defined by disciplined footwork and an advanced understanding of team rotations. She relies on her lateral fluidity and length to wall off driving lanes and contest shots without fouling, positioning her as a player that can switch across multiple positions, making her an ideal fit for modern, positionless defensive schemes.
Offensively, Angloma is a developmental project. She currently leans on her athleticism to finish through contact at the rim and has shown flashes as a developing spot up shooter. However, her overall offensive game lacks polish. To reach her ceiling as a reliable two way starter, she will need to tighten her handle - particularly in controlling downhill drives - and develop a more consistent in between game.
