1. Dallas Wings
2. Minnesota Lynx
3. Seattle Storm
4. Washington Mystics
5. Chicago Sky
6. Toronto Tempo/Portland Fire

The WNBA Draft Lottery results come as no surprise

Entering the night, the Wings held a 42% chance to land the No. 1 pick, after securing Paige Bueckers with the first overall pick last year.

Four other teams were in contention for the top pick entering Sunday:

• The Minnesota Lynx (via Chicago Sky trade) held a 26.1% chance,

• The Seattle Storm (via Los Angeles Sparks) held a 16.7% chance

• The Washington Mystics held a 9.7% chance

• The Chicago Sky held a 5.5% chance

Several standout players could be selected with the No. 1 overall pick, among them:

• UCLA center Lauren Bett
• TCU point guard Olivia Miles
• UConn shooting guard Azzi Fudd
• Spanish center Awa Fam
• LSU shooting guard Flaujae Johnson

How the top picks shake up remains to be seen, but one thing is for certain: there is no shortage of talent in the incoming draft class.
