The 23rd annual WNBA draft lottery is set to air on Dec. 10 at 4:30 p.m. ET. The Indiana Fever, Los Angeles Sparks, Phoenix Mercury, and Seattle Storm will compete for the No. 1 overall WNBA draft pick.
The Fever claimed the top spot in the 2023 draft and chose Aliyah Boston as the No. 1 overall pick. Boston was unanimously named the 2023 WNBA Rookie of the Year after receiving all 60 votes from a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters.
The 2024 draft is currently scheduled for April 15, 2024. Lottery odds are determined by the combined records of the two most recent regular seasons (2022 and 2023). The Fever will have the highest chance of landing the top pick and are guaranteed at least the third pick. Phoenix has the next highest likelihood of winning the No. 1 spot, followed by the Sparks and Storm.
The selection order for the rest of the first round, second round, and third round is based on the inverse order of the teams’ respective 2023 regular season records, considering trades and negotiations that may have affected the draft order.
The remaining first-round draft order (based on 2023 record):
5. Dallas from Chicago (18-22)
6. Washington (19-21)
7. Minnesota (19-21)
8. Atlanta (19-21)
9. Dallas (22-18)
10. Connecticut (27-13)
11. New York (32-8)
12. Los Angeles from Las Vegas (34-6)
