NCAA Scoring Leader Turned WNBA Rookie with Elite Intensity
Ta'Niya Latson is a high-octane guard who dominated the 2024-25 college season as the NCAA scoring leader (25.2 PPG) with seven 30-point games, earning ACC Rookie of the Year and Second-Team All-American honors before being drafted 20th overall by the Los Angeles Sparks in 2026. Her differentiator is her relentless, physical intensity and clutch scoring ability—evidenced by a 30-point explosion against LSU in the 2025 NCAA Tournament—paired with a rare 80.3% free-throw rate that underscores her discipline. While her college rebounding (2.9 RPG) and 32.5% three-point shooting suggest she’s still refining her perimeter consistency, her scoring volume and mental toughness make her a perfect fit for teams needing an immediate offensive spark and a player who treats every possession like a final-second play.
