Rookie of the Year Olivia Miles leads a WNBA All-Rookie team that also features Azzi Fudd, Flau'jae Johnson, Pauline Astier, Kiki Rice and Sidney Taylor.

The WNBA announced the All-Rookie team on Wednesday. It features the top two picks in the 2026 draft in Fudd and Miles as well as two players who joined the league as undrafted free agents in Taylor and Astier.

Miles, the No. 2 pick of the draft out of TCU, took the league by storm. She earned first-team All-WNBA honors as the leader in points and assists for a Minnesota Lynx team that finished with the best record in the league before a disappointing first-round exit in the playoffs.

Miles averaged 19.8 points, 6 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 49.2% from the floor and 38.8% from 3. Her 790 points broke the WNBA's record for points by a rookie.

Fudd, the No. 1 pick out of UConn, delivered in her first season with the Dallas Wings as a two-way player and one of the league's top 3-point threats. She averaged 13.1 points, 1.7 steals and 0.8 blocks while shooting 39.7% on 5.2 3-point attempts per game for a Wings team that earned the No. 7 seed in the playoffs. A knee injury cut her rookie season short at 30 games.

Johnson joined the the Seattle Storm as the No. 8 pick after an All-America career at LSU. She finished second in scoring among rookies and for the Storm while averaging 14.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.4 steals per game

Rice joined the fledgling Toronto Tempo as the No. 6 pick in the draft after winning an NCAA championship with UCLA. She finished third in scoring and assists for the Tempo while averaging 13.4 points and 3.5 assists per game.

Astier joined the Liberty as an undrafted free agent out of France and started for a New York team that advanced to the second round of the playoffs. She averaged 9.3 points, 3.3 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game.

Taylor also earned a starting job after signing as an undrafted free agent. She averaged 13.6 points, 2 assists and 1.7 rebounds per game for the Chicago Sky.
