Top Sleepers
6-4 •
Guard •
Vanderbilt
A pure shooter with rare 6’4″ size, Pissott is a matchup nightmare. Her elite 42.2% efficiency from behind the arc makes her a high-value asset.
6-5 •
Forward •
Kentucky
Key pairs elite mobility with rim protection. Her ability to run the floor and switch defensively makes her a high-upside “flyer” for teams seeking a versatile big.
5-9 •
Guard •
South Carolina
One of the best defensive guards in the class, Johnson is a winner whose high IQ and big-game composure make her a safe bet to stick in a WNBA roster.
6-3 •
Forward •
TCU
A reliable “stretch-four” with deep international experience, Suárez projects as a plug-and-play pro capable of providing immediate floor spacing.
