Dallas Wings Win 2025 WNBA Draft Lottery

The Dallas Wings have won the 2025 WNBA Draft Lottery, giving them the opportunity to select UConn star Paige Bueckers with the first overall pick. Despite injuries derailing her collegiate career, Bueckers is projected to be a game-changer for the Wings, who finished last season with a disappointing 9-31 record. The Los Angeles Sparks, who had the highest odds at 44% to secure the top pick, ended up with the second selection, much to their dismay. The Wings' new general manager, Curt Miller, is optimistic that Bueckers' arrival will enhance the team's appeal to potential coaching candidates. Other top prospects in the draft include Kiki Iriafen, Olivia Miles, and Lauren Betts, with the draft scheduled for April 14, 2025. The expansion Golden State Valkyries will also have a crucial role in the upcoming draft as they build their roster.
