Lauren Betts returned to her dominate self this past week. She is a two-way player that can anchor an offense and anchor a defense. That is very rare in basketball. Betts has had a slow start to this season. Even battling an elbow injury that seems to affect her a bit. But it looks as if she is getting healthy again and playing her best basketball. So much to the point that she was just named AP Player of the Week.
Betts was projected at the beginning of the year to be the number one pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft.
