Superlatives to Watch in Training Camp
With many core players already established, the real intrigue comes from the players competing for depth roles and developmental spots.
Highest Ceiling: Madina Okot
No surprise here.
Madina Okot possesses rare physical tools at 6’6 with guard-like skill flashes. Her ability to rebound, protect the rim, and potentially stretch the floor makes her one of the most intriguing long-term prospects on the roster.
If her offensive game continues developing, Okot has the potential to become a dominant frontcourt presence. Players with her size and mobility are extremely difficult to find.
She may only be scratching the surface of what she can become.
Most Likely to Contribute Early: Isobel Borlase
Fresh off an MVP season overseas, Isobel Borlase brings professional experience and confidence entering training camp.
Her ability to create her own shot, score at multiple levels, and facilitate offense could allow her to contribute earlier than many rookies.
Having already played against high-level competition internationally, Borlase may be better prepared to transition quickly.
Her offensive versatility makes her a strong candidate to earn rotation minutes early.
Dark Horse Candidate: Paige Robinson
Paige Robinson brings one elite skill that always translates: shooting.
Robinson averaged 13 points per game while shooting 40% from three for IDK Euskotren San Sebastian in Spain.
Floor spacing is critical in modern offenses, and Robinson’s shooting ability could help her carve out a role in head coach Karl Smesko’s system.
At 5’11, she also provides positional versatility defensively.
Players who can both shoot and defend often find ways to stick on rosters.
Most to Prove: Indya Nivar
Indya Nivar brings strong athletic tools, defensive instincts, and playmaking ability.
Her rebounding ability from the guard position is particularly intriguing.
However, the biggest question surrounding Nivar is offensive consistency.
If she can demonstrate offensive growth and confidence, she could emerge as a valuable rotational guard.
Her athletic profile fits well with the pace and defensive versatility Atlanta appears to be targeting.
Developmental Slot Candidates
With the new CBA allowing two developmental players, several names stand out as long-term fits.
1. Laila Phelia
Laila Phelia has long been viewed as a strong 3-and-D prospect.
She shot 38% on catch-and-shoot three-pointers while defending both guard and wing positions.
Her defensive versatility combined with shooting potential makes her an ideal developmental candidate.
Players who can guard multiple positions and knock down open shots are always valuable in modern systems.
2. Kejia Ran
Kejia Ran offers intriguing two-way potential.
She impacts the game defensively with her ability to guard multiple positions and disrupt passing lanes.
Offensively, Ran has shown efficiency scoring in the midrange and around the basket.
Her international experience adds another layer of intrigue, including a strong showing at the 2025 FIBA U19 Women’s Basketball World Cup, where she averaged:
- 19.1 points per game
- 11.3 rebounds per game
- 3.1 assists per game
Her versatility and production against international competition make her a strong developmental candidate.
Final Thoughts
The Atlanta Dream are clearly building a roster focused on versatility, length, and long-term upside.
With competition intensifying for the final roster spots, training camp will play a major role in shaping the team’s depth and future pipeline.
Several players bring intriguing skillsets that could translate into meaningful roles, whether immediately or through development pathways.
Expect surprises.
Expect competition.
And expect the Dream to continue prioritizing players who fit their long-term vision. 🏀🔥
