The Dallas Wings are on the clock and are just over 24 hours away from deciding who they will take with the top pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft.  While this year’s class may not feature a clear-cut headliner like Diana Taurasi, Candace Parker, Breanna Stewart, A’ja Wilson, or Caitlin Clark, there is still plenty of intrigue surrounding the top selection.

One of the names that is firmly in the conversation to be called first overall is TCU guard Olivia Miles. However, she is not the only Horned Frog expected to hear her name called out on Monday night, as forward Marta Suarez is also projected to be selected. The duo played a huge role in leading TCU to a 32–6 record this season and a second consecutive Elite Eight appearance, which secured their place and legacy within the program.

Olivia Miles

Miles, who some had projected to go as high as No. 2 overall in the 2025 draft, transferred to TCU for her final season of eligibility and had an incredible season for the Horned Frogs. She averaged 19.7 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game, while shooting 48% from the field. She was named the Big 12 Player and Newcomer of the Year and a Second-Team All-American for the third time.

With the success TCU has had the past two seasons and them already getting some big names to commit via the transfer portal, there is a good possibility that they could have more players get drafted in 2027. Of course, we haven’t even seen Miles and Suarez get drafted, but it is always fun to look ahead to the next draft and envision more Horned Frogs being selected.
