The Dallas Wings have secured the No. 1 pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft, marking back-to-back No. 1 lottery wins for the franchise, the league confirmed on Nov. 23.

Last year, the Wings used their top pick to select Paige Bueckers, who went on to win Rookie of the Year in 2025. Now, with the first pick again, Dallas has a golden chance to build around her by adding another cornerstone player.

According to ESPN mock drafts, early prospects include Awa Fam (Spain), Lauren Betts (UCLA), and Azzi Fudd (UConn). The Wings’ front office now faces exciting decisions: Do they double down on Bueckers’s backcourt by pairing her with a playmaking guard or sniper? Or do they use this pick to add size with a post player and balance their roster?

This rare feat of back-to-back No. 1 picks could turbocharge the Wings’ rebuild and put them in a strong position to contend around Bueckers in the near future, and this could be the turning point for their franchise starved for success.
