Nell Angloma projected to Washington Mystics in final WNBA mock draft at No. 11

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 , France's Nell Angloma 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.

Nell Angloma 2026 WNBA Draft prediction: Pick No. 11 overall, Washington Mystics

Hall's Analysis:

Angloma is a versatile piece the Mystics could lean into now or stash for later. At 5-foot-11, she's likely more of a wing than a pure forward, but she can play both. Angloma does a lot of work in the paint, getting downhill quickly, but can make her baskets from 3-point range, too, when asked.
