6. Toronto: Olivia Nelson-Ododa, C (from Connecticut)

Connecticut can only protect one of Marina Mabrey or Nelson-Ododa. If the latter is left unprotected, it's hard to imagine her being selected lower than this. She's a quality rotational big, averaging 8.2 points and 5.0 rebounds last season.

7. Toronto: JJ Quinerly, PG/SG (from Dallas)

Dallas has several strong options for Toronto to consider, but the 23-year-old Quinerly stands out as the youngest of the group while bringing aggressive on-ball defense and solid shooting.

8. Portland: Dorka Juhász, C (from Minnesota)

Juhász has been excellent in the EuroLeague this season, shooting 36.6 percent from three: the highest mark of her pro career. This could also be a Maria Kliundikova landing spot, but we have the Lynx protecting the Russian center who flashed defensive upside in 2025.
