Outstanding Trades
INCOMING: No. 12: Part of the Marina Mabrey deal; the Sun acquired the right to Phoenix’s 2026 1st-round pick (via Chicago) after the Sky exercised their swap rights for the Sun’s slot. No. 15: The Sun received this pick from the New York Liberty as part of the trade for Natasha Cloud (March 2025).
OUTGOING: No. 5: The Sun traded the right to swap 2026 1st-round picks to the Chicago Sky in the Marina Mabrey deal. Because the Sun finished with a worse record (11–33) than Phoenix, Chicago exercised the swap. No. 18: Traded to the Dallas Wings as part of the blockbuster 4-team trade involving Alyssa Thomas and DiJonai Carrington.
Instant Analysis: Nell Angloma brings a physically versatile, slasher-style game that complements the Sun’s promising defensive backcourt of Saniya Rivers and Leïla Lacan. By adding UCLA teammates Gianna Kneepkens and Charlisse Leger-Walker, the Sun look to fill the void left by Marina Mabrey with high-IQ play, shooting and playmaking. Kneepkens provides floor spacing as an efficient 50-40-90 shooter, while Leger-Walker serves as a pass-first point guard. These picks, paired with the acquisition of Taylor Bigby for Serah Williams, solidify a deep and talented backcourt for the future.
One-Month Check-In: Connecticut’s rookie class is making its presence felt, highlighted by the emergence of second-rounder Charlisse Leger-Walker. The guard quickly proved her value, officially earning a spot in the starting lineup within the first month of the season by bringing high-IQ playmaking and stability to the backcourt.
On the wing, first-round pick Nell Angloma has shown flashes of a high ceiling in her limited minutes, utilizing her physical, slashing game to attack the basket.

Outstanding Trades
INCOMING: No. 7: The Sun received this pick as part of the Natasha Cloud trade. No. 8: Part of the 4-team trade involving Alyssa Thomas to the Phoenix Mercury that netted Indiana’s first round pick. No. 25: Unprotected pick as part of the New York/Chicago trade involving Rebekah Gardner and later, the Chicago/Connecticut Marina Mabrey trade.
OUTGOING: No. 11: The Connecticut Sun traded this pick along with Rachel Banham, Moriah Jefferson, and the right to swap 2026 first-round picks with Chicago for Marina Mabrey and Chicago’s 2025 second-round pick.
Instant Analysis: The Connecticut Sun put together an impressive draft class, earning a B+ grade. Aneesah Morrow is a tireless worker and a tenacious rebounder who can make an immediate impact. Rivers and Marshall offer athleticism and significant upside, giving the Sun exciting young talent to develop. With the entire starting lineup from last season gone, this draft class will all have a legitimate chance to carve out minutes early in their careers. Connecticut is entering a transition phase, and how quickly this group adjusts could shape the team’s future.
One-Month Check-In: Aneesah Morrow’s early season was slowed by injury, but her energy remains evident. Saniya Rivers has emerged as a key contributor with her versatile, all-around game. Rayah Marshall has played limited minutes and is viewed as a long-term project.
