Miles, drafted No. 2 overall in 2026, averaged 19.8 points, six assists, 4.7 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and shot 38.8% from deep this season. The 23-year-old guard garnered plenty of other recognition in her first campaign, also securing an All-Star selection, winning the Rookie of the Year award, and finishing runner-up in MVP voting - albeit a distant second behind Aces superstar A'ja Wilson.

Additionally, Atlanta Dream star Angel Reese was one of three second-team selections to make their All-WNBA debut, joining teammate Rhyne Howard and Washington Mystics breakout center Shakira Austin.
