Toronto Tempo 2026 WNBA Draft Mock Draft Roundup 1.0

Any team that drafts Johnson is automatically getting a burst of energy on both ends of the floor. She has an elite knack for finding the ball, stripping the other team of it and turning it into transition points. Additionally, the LSU star is at her best when she uses her speed to get downhill to the basket or stop and pop right into a jumpshot (similar to Phoenix Mercury guard Kahleah Copper). Johnson can also knock down shots from 3-point range, and Toronto or Portland should appreciate that.

McMahon is a chaos agent who enjoys causing disruption. The Ole Miss transfer imposes her will on whoever is in front of her, combining footwork and power to glide through opposing defenses. Her proverbial on-court motto is simple: move or be moved. If Portland or Toronto can work with McMahon to make her movements more fluid at the pro level and improve her defense in one-on-one situations, she'll be a mid-round steal.

Latson's numbers are down a bit from last season, when she led the country in scoring, but that was always going to be the case after she transferred to South Carolina. She's been much more efficient with less on her plate and remains a terrific downhill driver who excels in transition. Her jumper is still a work in progress, but she's able to create her own shot with ease and would give the Tempo an exciting starting point.

The Spanish guard announced herself on the international scene in 2023 when she won MVP at the U-19 World Cup. Spain, which hosted the tournament, took a USA team with Hannah Hidalgo, Cotie McMahon, Joyce Edwards and Madison Booker, among others, into overtime in the gold-medal game. Martín dazzled with her court awareness and playmaking, finishing the tournament with averages of 16.1 points and 3.3 assists. She was the EuroLeague Young Player of the Year in 2024-25. Even if she doesn't come over right away — and Spanish players historically have been limited participants in the WNBA — Martín has too much potential to pass at this spot. On the league's first international team, with an international coach, she could be the global floor general that sets the tone.

The draft order of the expansion teams will be decided by coin flip; for now we have the Tempo here and the Portland Fire at No. 7. Latson led Division I in scoring at 25.2 PPG last season with Florida State. Now in a more balanced offense with No. 2 South Carolina, she is averaging 18.2 PPG, 4.0 RPG and 3.7 APG. Her 54.5% shooting from 3-point range is from too small a sample size (6 of 11) to judge it yet, but that would be a big step if she maintains it.
