The Minnesota Lynx won the draft lottery and
will have the top pick in the 2010 WNBA Draft.
Despite Sacramento having the worst record (12-22) last season, Minnesota
(14-20) had the best chance at getting the No. 1 overall pick as a result of
having the rights to New York's (13-21) first-round pick due to a thre-team
deal that also invovled Los Angeles.
The Lynx had 428 chances out of 1,000 to win the lottery, compared to 420 for
league-worst Sacramento.
In addition, Minnesota will also pick in the fourth slot behind Sacramnto and
Connecticut. Chicago rounds out the lottery order.
The remaining draft order is as follows: San Antonio, Washington, Tulsa
(formerly Detroit), Los Angeles, Atlanta, Seattle, Indiana and Los Angeles
(from league-champion Phoenix).
