Lynx Nab Top Pick In WNBA Draft

POSTED: 4:56 pm EST November 5, 2009

(Sports Network) - The Minnesota Lynx won the draft lottery and will have the top pick in the 2010 WNBA Draft.

Despite Sacramento having the worst record (12-22) last season, Minnesota (14-20) had the best chance at getting the No. 1 overall pick as a result of having the rights to New York's (13-21) first-round pick due to a thre-team deal that also invovled Los Angeles.

The Lynx had 428 chances out of 1,000 to win the lottery, compared to 420 for league-worst Sacramento.

In addition, Minnesota will also pick in the fourth slot behind Sacramnto and Connecticut. Chicago rounds out the lottery order.

The remaining draft order is as follows: San Antonio, Washington, Tulsa (formerly Detroit), Los Angeles, Atlanta, Seattle, Indiana and Los Angeles (from league-champion Phoenix).
