The 2026 WNBA draft was a huge success for my Los Angeles Sparks. South Carolina’s Ta’Niya Latson was a steal in the second round. She is a first round talent having led the nation in scoring while attending Florida State University averaging 25.2 PPG.
Ohio State’s Chance Grey is another outstanding guard who can shoot. She shot over 40% from the three point line this past season.
Last but not least, Amelia Hassett is a 6-4 shooter that plays the PF position from the University of Kentucky.
All three of our picks can shoot from beyond the arc, understand winning and have a winning mentality (they all made the NCAA Tournament this year), and they’ve all been well coached from greats like South Carolina’s Dawn Staley, OSU’s Jackie Hoyt, and Kentucky’s Kenny Brooks.
Latson will be playing with a chip on shoulder because she was drafted in the second round and I believe she will make an immediate impact on the Sparks.
