Iyana Martn Carrin projected to Connecticut Sun in final WNBA mock draft at No. 12

The 2026 WNBA Draft gets underway in a few hours.

After months of waiting, on Monday, April 13, one of the biggest events of the offseason will commence at The Shed in New York. In the previous few years, there's been a consensus No. 1 pick leading up to the event. This year's top spot has been up for grabs for weeks, driving lots of chatter about all the possibilities.

However, after an action-packed first week of WNBA free agency , the choice for the Dallas Wings got a lot clearer. The Wings should draft UConn Huskies guard Azzi Fudd at No. 1. Others in the mix for No. 1 include Spaniard Awa Fam, UCLA center Lauren Betts and TCU guard Olivia Miles.

In USA TODAY's final WNBA mock draft , Spain's Iyana Martn Carrin is expected to go in the first round. Here's how USA TODAY currently projects her draft night will play out.

Our draft order factors in trades, including swaps and protections.

Iyana Martn Carrin 2026 WNBA Draft prediction: Pick No. 12 overall, Connecticut Sun

Hall's Analysis:

Carrin is the type of guard who exploits any second-guessing by opponents and makes them pay. She can get to the cup with her footwork, navigating traffic or she can let it go from deep without flinching. She may not play now, if drafted, but the Sun would be wise to hold on to the Spainish guard.
