Golden State Valkyries Mock Draft

WNBA Mock Draft • 2026 Season

Golden State Valkyries Draft Analysis

Heading into the draft, the Golden State Valkyries are in a position where they need to bolster their backcourt and frontcourt depth. With a core that includes talented wings but lacks consistent scoring from the guard position and a dominant presence in the paint, the Valkyries should prioritize players who can fulfill these gaps. Strengthening their roster with a versatile playmaker and a physical post player would significantly enhance their competitiveness in the upcoming season.

Olivia Miles from Notre Dame stands out as an ideal addition for the Valkyries, given her exceptional playmaking ability as the best pure point guard in the draft. Her court vision and leadership skills could immediately elevate the team's offensive flow. Additionally, if the Valkyries are looking for a strong center, Lauren Betts from UCLA offers the dominant interior presence they need, showcasing both scoring and rebounding prowess. These two prospects could be game-changers, addressing immediate needs while providing long-term upside for the franchise.
