OUTSTANDING TRADES
INCOMING: None
OUTGOING: No. 14: Traded to the Seattle Storm as part of the blockbuster three-team trade that brought Jewell Loyd to Las Vegas. 2026 2nd Round Swap (to SEA): As part of the same Loyd/Plum trade, Seattle holds the right to swap their 2026 2nd-round pick with Las Vegas. Since the Aces’ pick (No. 29) is lower than Seattle’s (No. 24), Seattle will likely decline the swap, but the option remains with the Storm.

Instant Analysis
The Las Vegas Aces found strong value with their two late-round selections, Janiah Barker and Jordan Obi. Barker provides length and athleticism, while Obi brings high-motor defensive presence and transition energy. These picks prioritize defensive grit and athleticism to an already championship-caliber roster.

Draft Grade: B-
Instant Analysis: The Las Vegas Aces put together a solid draft class, earning a B- grade for their selections. Nye could be a great addition with her shooting ability, complementing the Aces’ offensive system. Turner is a strong player, but with the team’s depth at the guard spot, her path to consistent minutes may be challenging.
One-Month Check-In: Harmoni Turner was waived before the season. Aaliyah Nye is beginning to carve out a role with her shooting and floor spacing, contributing gradually in a crowded rotation.
