The WNBA named Olivia Miles, Azzi Fudd, Kiki Rice, Sydney Taylor, Pauline Astier and Flau’jae Johnson to its 2026 All-Rookie Team. Miles led the group with a record-setting rookie season, while Johnson made history with a rare all-around statistical line and set several Seattle Storm rookie records. Rice, Toronto’s first-ever draft pick, averaged 13.4 points and returned from a serious ankle sprain to finish strongly. Undrafted Chicago guard Taylor averaged 13.6 points, ranked third among rookies in scoring and led the league’s rookies with 71 three-pointers. Fudd averaged 13.1 points before knee surgery ended her season early.
