Taina Mair

Mair had a productive freshman season at Boston College but transferred to Duke for the final three years of her collegiate career. Her production initially took a step back with the Blue Devils, but she showed considerable improvement in 2025-26, averaging 11.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2.5 steals in 33.9 minutes per game. Mair is an effective playmaker who improved as a shooter and defender during her senior season at Duke. The Storm selected her 14th overall in the 2026 WNBA Draft, and while Seattle is expected to be a rebuilding team this year, Mair's opportunities as a rookie will likely depend on whether she can build upon the momentum of her 2025-26 performance at the collegiate level. Although the Storm lost several key contributors during the offseason, they still have plenty of talented players, including fellow 2026 first-rounders Awa Fam and Flau'jae Johnson, so Mair's playing time could be inconsistent this year.
