The Dallas Wings have secured the No.1 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft after winning the lottery held on Sunday. They are expected to select UConn star Paige Bueckers, the consensus top prospect in the 2025 draft class. The Los Angeles Sparks will have the No.2 pick for the second consecutive season, followed by the Chicago Sky at No.3 and the Washington Mystics at No.4. The WNBA Draft is set for April 14th. Representatives from various teams appeared at the lottery event, with Angel Reese representing the Chicago Sky and Rickea Jackson representing the Los Angeles Sparks. The Sparks, who had the best odds for the No.1 pick at 44.2%, missed out on the top selection despite having the worst record over the past two seasons. They missed out on Caitlin Clark last year and will miss out on Paige Bueckers this year. The Wings, who finished 9–31 last season, are looking to bolster their roster with the addition of Bueckers.
