The Washington Mystics have the fourth best chance of winning the No. 1 pick.
On Thursday, the WNBA announced that the 2025 Draft Lottery will be held on Sunday, Nov. 17. The results will be televised on ESPN.
The Washington Mystics have the fourth best chance of getting the No. 1 pick at 10.8 percent. The Los Angeles Sparks, Dallas Wings and Chicago Sky will also be at the lottery. Oddly enough, Chicago’s first round pick could be swapped with the Wings’ due to an earlier trade this season. So if the Sky have a better draft selection, Dallas will swap. So the Sky won’t be picking higher than No. 2.
Connecticut guard Paige Bueckers is widely expected to be the No. 1 pick regardless of which team gets it.
The WNBA also announced that the Golden State Valkyries will have the No. 5 pick in the 2025 Draft. Because of that, the Mystics will pick No. 6 with the selection that was originally the Atlanta Dream’s.
For now, as Mystics fans, let’s assume that Washington will pick No. 4 and No. 6 overall. We will look at potential selections between now and then with that expectation, though you never know if the Mystics get lucky.
