What happened: The No. 2 overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft is operating as a primary offensive engine. The early success from the same Olivia Miles who is producing a record-breaking WNBA rookie season includes becoming the only first-year player selected to start the All-Star Game.

Why it matters: She secured Kia WNBA Rookie of the Month honors for June. Her immediate impact has established a new standard for first-year production in the league.

What to watch: Workload management remains a priority after a recent calf strain forced her out of the lineup.
