Dallas Wings score No. 1 pick, chance at Paige Bueckers in 2025 WNBA Draft Lottery

The 2025 WNBA Draft will begin with the Dallas Wings.

The Wings won the top pick in the draft lottery Sunday, and with it are set up to draft a potential franchise cornerstone at the annual spring event.

Full 2025 WNBA Draft Lottery results:

1. Dallas Wings
2. Los Angeles Sparks
3. Chicago Sky
4. Washington Mystics

The Wings had 45.4 percent odds to land the top pick after entering the lottery with the rights to swap first-round picks with the Sky because of a trade in the 2023 offseason.

Sunday’s event might come to be referred to as the Paige Bueckers sweepstakes, as the UConn star begins this year’s college season as the presumptive No. 1 pick. But Bueckers is far from the only talented player who could hear her name called early in the draft. USC forward Kiki Iriafen, Notre Dame guard Olivia Miles and French forward Dominique Malonga highlight a list of potential players who could all make significant contributions to whatever WNBA franchise calls their names.

No date has been publicized for next the 2025 WNBA Draft, but it historically has been the Monday after the collegiate national championship.

This will be updated.
