Texas college hoops stars shine in the 2026 WNBA Draft, with several Lone Star State players going pro early. UConns Azzi Fudd was the number one pick by the Dallas Wings, followed by TCUs Olivia Miles at number two. Miles, who transferred from Notre Dame, led the Horned Frogs to the NCAA Final Four. Other Texas players drafted include Marta Suárez (number sixteen by Seattle Storm), Darianna Littlepage-Buggs (number thirty by Washington Mystics), and Rori Harmon (number thirty-four by Washington Mystics). The draft came after a new player deal that significantly increased salaries, with second- and third-round picks now earning $270,000, and number one pick Fudd earning $500,000. TCUs Taylor Bigby was the last Texas player drafted, going number thirty-seven to Portland Fire and later traded to the Connecticut Sun.
