The WNBA Draft is a key event in the league, where the top emerging talent from college basketball, international leagues, and the WNBA G-League are selected by teams to strengthen their rosters. At Sportsdunia, we provide in-depth coverage of the WNBA Draft, from the draft format to predictions on the next breakout stars. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of everything you need to know about the draft.

WNBA Draft Format

The WNBA Draft follows an organised format, typically consisting of three rounds. The league’s draft lottery decides the order in which teams select their players, with the worst-performing teams from the previous season getting a higher chance at the better players, or in the draft’s case, they will be called “picks”. However, the draft format also accounts for trades and team-specific strategies, such as securing international players, focusing on the team's needs and requirements. The draft has expanded in recent years to feature international players who may not be widely known but bring substantial talent from across the globe.

How WNBA Draft Works

The WNBA Draft begins with the team choosing their players, starting with the team that gets the top. Teams scout college athletes from various divisions, along with international players or prospects, and invite them to the draft event. Interviews and scouting programmes are also part of this process. After this selection process, the players are officially added to the rosters. The draft order is determined by the regular season standings of the previous year, with the team finishing with the worst record having the best chance at the first pick.

How are WNBA Draft Picks Determined?

The selection process for the WNBA Draft involves a lottery system for the teams to follow. This lottery allows those teams the highest chance at receiving the first pick, though it’s all up to luck and completely random who gets which player, making it fairer for teams in rebuilding phases. The remaining picks follow a reverse order of the standings, meaning the team with the second-worst record picks second, and so on. After the lottery, the teams can also make trades to move up or down the board according to their team's needs. In cases of tie records, a drawing is used to determine the pick order.

Latest Draft Picks & Predictions

The latest WNBA Draft is always exciting, and the team’s fans have high expectations. Predictions are made based on international stats, college stats, and the requirements of the teams. Sabrina Ionescu, A'ja Wilson, and Breanna Stewart were some of the most anticipated and hype-inducing picks in recent years. With new players arising at any time, we expect Paige Bueckers (UConn), Olivia Miles (Notre Dame), Kiki Iriafen (USC), and Aneesah Morrow (LSU), among others, with Bueckers widely projected as the No. 1 pick. How these athletes could impact the league.
