As the mock rolls into the next tier, lottery-bound squads face a projection-versus-production dilemma: roll the dice on the elite physical upside of high-ceiling athletes like Laila Reynolds and Achol Akot, or lean into the steady production of proven commodities like Kymora Johnson, Addy Brown, and Donovyn Hunter?
Meanwhile, playoff-contending rosters must decide whether to target floor-spacing snipers like 6-foot-4 shooter Jordan Wood or chase immediate multi-positional utility.

Top Sleepers
6-2 •
Forward •
Louisville
Baker is a versatile frontcourt scorer capable of finishing inside, but her long-term projection hinges on her outside jumper. At 6’2”, her high release and reliable shooting provide a clear, translatable offensive skill set.
6-1 •
Forward •
North Carolina
A relentless rebounder with a high motor, Akot consistently plays much bigger than her 6’1” frame. Her physical interior presence and knack for securing extra possessions give her utility as a gritty, rotation player.
6-0 •
Guard •
Minnesota
A three-level scorer, Braun can create her own shot off the bounce. Her sharp mechanics and natural scoring instincts make her a constant threat to stretch opposing defenses.
6-1 •
Guard •
LSU
Reynolds brings exceptional size and physicality to the backcourt as a versatile, two-way guard with aggressive perimeter defense.
