- Atlanta Vibe — One W away from locking it in. New coach. Big swings. Main character energy.
- Orlando Valkyries — Loaded with rookies, dripping with potential. Think: baby dragons learning to fly.
- Indy Ignite — Streaky, spicy, and sneakily scary. Don’t sleep on ’em. They’ll spike you awake​.

If you thought rookies were supposed to ride the bench… surprise. These kids are out here dominating.
- Merritt Beason (ATL) — No. 1 pick. Nebraska savage. Hits like a truck full of bricks.

- Norah Sis (ORL) — Swiss army knife. Moves like poetry. Blocks like a brick wall with sass.
- Emily Londot (OMA) — Already a Player of the Week. Already a nightmare to defend.
- Natalie Foster (ORL) — Queen of the middle. Runs the net like TSA at LAX.
- Leah Edmond (ATL) — Veteran sniper. February’s MVP and still got more gas in the tank.
- Abercrombie & Member-Meneh (ORL + IND) — Call ‘em double trouble. Each one’s got highlight reel energy​.
