The 2026 WNBA Draft delivered a historic moment for TCU basketball, as All-American guard Olivia Miles was selected with the No. 2 overall pick by the Minnesota Lynx. This selection makes Miles the highest draft pick in the history of the TCU women's program, a testament to her explosive final collegiate season.

Miles, who transferred to TCU for her final year, was the engine behind the Horned Frogs' remarkable run. She led the team to a 32-6 record, a Big 12 championship, and a second straight Elite Eight appearance, earning both Big 12 Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year honors. Her stat line was equally impressive, averaging 19.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 6.6 assists per game while showcasing her two-way prowess with 1.8 steals.

Her selection marks the second consecutive year a Horned Frog has been taken in the first round, following Hailey Van Lith in 2025. For the Minnesota Lynx, adding a dynamic, proven playmaker like Miles signals a major step in rebuilding a championship-caliber backcourt. Her ability to score, facilitate, and defend at an elite level makes her an instant-impact rookie and a thrilling new face for Lynx fans to watch.
