Unlike the NBA Draft, the WNBA Draft is just days after the NCAA March Madness tournament.
For the third year in a row, it will be the Las Vegas Aces that will pick No. 1 pick in the Draft.
In 2018, the Aces picked A'ja Wilson with the No. 1 pick.

The draft lottery for the four non-playoff teams - Las Vegas Aces, Indiana Fever, Chicago Sky and New York Liberty — was held on August 28, 2018, during halftime of the WNBA playoff game between the Atlanta Dream and the Washington Mystics.
The order of selection for the remaining picks of the first, second and third rounds is in the inverse order of the team's regular season records from the 2018 season.
