Azzi Fudd falls two spots to fourth overall in the final 2026 WNBA Draft mock ahead of Monday's draft, while Valencia center Awa Fam remains entrenched at No. 1, according to The Athletic. 

Fudd's slide follows a challenging NCAA Tournament in which she struggled to generate offense when her jump shot wasn't working, particularly against South Carolina. The Washington Mystics still select her fourth overall, citing her elite shooting ability as she connected on 45 percent of her three-pointers this season, and her growth as a defensive player.

Dallas retains the top pick and is projected to select Fam, who at roughly three years younger than UCLA's Lauren Betts, carries greater long-term upside despite Betts' superior current skill level. Fam's athleticism, shooting touch, and ability to read the floor make her a natural long-term partner alongside Paige Bueckers.

Betts, the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player, slides to Minnesota at No. 2. She averaged 21 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks while shooting 68.8 percent from the field across six tournament games.

TCU's Olivia Miles holds at No. 3 to Seattle.

"There's like half a dozen people in the world that have her vision that can process it that quickly, that can throw a one-handed bounce pass to the opposite corner, off the dribble, on a laser and then do it with their left hand," said TCU head coach Mark Campbell. 

UCLA wing Gabriela Jaquez rises three spots to No. 7 to Portland after posting 21 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists in the national title game. South Carolina's Ta'Niya Latson climbs to No. 8 after a strong tournament showing.

Toronto, picking sixth after winning the offseason coin flip, selects Spanish guard Iyana Martin.
