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.

Draft Grade: B+
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.
