While the WNBA's labor negotiations grind on, some of the league's business continues. The 2026 draft lottery will be held Sunday (6:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).
Four of the league's five head coaching vacancies have been filled except for one: the New York Liberty. The Dallas Wings, who have the highest odds (44%) of getting the No. 1 pick, hired longtime South Florida coach Jose Fernandez in late October.
His USF program had extensive recruiting contacts in Europe -- 12 of the 14 players on the Bulls roster for 2024-25 hailed from outside of the United States -- and we've tilted our projected top pick in ESPN's latest WNBA mock draft in that direction, too. Center Awa Fam of Spain moves up to No. 1 in this edition. After the lottery establishes the top-five order, we will update the mock draft
