Olivia Miles goes No. 2 as Lynx land Elite Playmaker
Olivia Miles is heading to the WNBA after being selected No. 2 overall by the Minnesota Lynx in the 2026 draft.
The Lynx bring in one of the most polished guards in the class to bring control to their backcourt.
Miles earned her draft position after an impressive year with the TCU Horned Frogs, where she averaged 19.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 6.6 assists across 38 games.
She led the team to a 32-6 record, a second straight Big 12 title, and an Elite Eight run, while also being named Big 12 Player of the Year.
Miles leaves college as a three-time AP All-American, known for her vision, creativity, and ability to control the pace of a game.
She now joins a Lynx squad built with other experienced players like Napheesa Collier and Courtney Williams.
Speaking after being drafted, Miles said:
“It’s finally here, finally heard my name. This is what this was for.”
This pick gives Minnesota another key player as they push to stay among the league’s top teams.
