Sky’s Top Options if Given No. 1 Pick

According to Tankathon, the Chicago Sky have a 7% chance of getting the first overall pick in the 2026 WNBA draft. While this is the least likely scenario, that still happens around 1 in 14.3 times. According to many mock drafts, the preseason number one pick is mostly split between Lauren Betts and Awa Fam, with about 75% of people having Betts at 1, and the other 25% having Fam. Lauren Betts is a 6’7 center out of UCLA who’s senior season has just begun. Betts began her career at Stanford, but transferred to the Bruins after a freshman season that did not stick too much in a positive or negative way. During her junior season, the Colorado native averaged 20.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 2.9 blocks per game on 64.8% from two and 62% from the line, per College Basketball Reference. The 6’7 big won the Naismith Defensive Player of the Year award in 2025, with her stat line backing it up. Per BartTorvik, Betts ended up with a 9.5 block percentage while only committing 2.3 fouls per 40 minutes. Gener
