During halftime of Friday night’s prime-time matchup between 5th-ranked Louisville and 20th-ranked DePaul’s women’s basketball teams, the WNBA televised the 2021 Draft Lottery; the New York Liberty will select first, followed by the Dallas Wings, the Atlanta Dream and the Indiana Fever.
With the order set, front offices can begin planning for April, the tentative date for the 2021 Draft. Look over the draft order and you’ll see an abundance of picks for teams such as New York and Dallas. One franchise absent from the list: the Washington Mystics
On April 15, 2020, Mystics Coach/General Manager Mike Thibault made a blockbuster trade for Tina Charles, the 2012 WNBA MVP, seven-time All-Star and five-time All-WNBA First Teamer.
