TV: ESPN
Format: Three rounds of 12 picks each
The Lynx have the second overall pick and will pick fourth in the second and third rounds (16th and 28th overall). They also picked up the final pick in the first and second rounds — 12th and 24th — from Las Vegas last year in exchange for the No. 8 and 13 picks in the 2022 draft. Coach Cheryl Reeve said the team is looking to build around two-time All-Star forward Napheesa Collier and indicated it was pretty close to a consensus with the No, 2 pick.
With South Carolina center Aliyah Boston is expected to go to Indiana at No. 1, the Lynx will likely choose from Maryland's Diamond Miller, Haley Jones of Stanford, Stephanie Soares of Iowa State and Villanova's Maddy Siegrist with the second pick.
It is less clear who the Lynx will do with their later picks. With the 12th and final pick of the first round, a couple of UConn players could be available in Lou Lopez Sénéchal and Dorka Juhász, and Reeve has a long history of drafting Huskies players.
