12. New York Liberty – C ⏳ Only one pick: Adja Kane (stashed). Zero immediate impact. Not much to grade here.

11. Atlanta Dream – A- 🚨 Steal alert: Te-Hina Paopao. First-round talent in Rd 2. 📈 Taylor Thierry brings shooting + D. Low usage, high efficiency. Quietly one of the smartest drafts.

10. Minnesota Lynx – C+ 📦 Likely stashing Anastasiia Kosu. ⛓️ Dalayah Daniels & Aubrey Griffin = length + athleticism. Quiet night. Could’ve used a high-upside swing.

9. Chicago Sky – C+ 🔍 Took risks on spacing + shooting: Van Lith, Sivka, Westbeld. ⚙️ No clear starter but added offensive tools. Still questions around overall talent. Angel Reese + Kamilla Cardoso will benefit, though.

8. Las Vegas Aces – B 🔫 Aaliyah Nye brings instant shooting. 🧠 Harmoni Turner = sneaky upside. Ivy League dominance + defense. Small class, but high floor additions. Champ mentality continues.
