Indiana, who finished with a 13-27 overall record, once again have the best odds after finishing under .500 for seven straight seasons. The Fever, led by head coach Christie Sides, now have a chance to make a statement in the league, if granted the top pick. With that said, Indiana has a 44 % chance of landing the No.1 pick and will not slide any further than No. 3 overall. After finishing 18-58 after two seasons, Indiana looks to build around Boston. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phoenix Mercury, 28 % odds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">20 years ago today, we won the WNBA Draft Lottery.

Toliver, 37, has spent 14 years in the WNBA, and recently tore her ACL as a member with the Washington Mystics.

With a 10 % chance of grabbing the No. 1 spot, the Storm will look to rebuild after their recent championship success. I will say, a combined 33-43 cumulative record over two seasons isn't indicative of how this team is structured now. Both Stewart and Bird contribute to that record, and the Storm are in a complete rebuild mode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the WNBA Draft lottery process takes place<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with a cumulative record over the past two seasons, much like the lottery, there will be a total of 14 balls placed. With four teams in the mix, means four balls will be drawn out of the machine. In a simple process, whichever team assigned a certain four-digit combination will \"receive the No. 1 pick,\" per WNBA. After, those four balls will be put back in the machine to determine which team will be granted to No. 2 pick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2024 WNBA Draft is projecting Iowa guard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/womens-college-basketball\/player\/_\/id\/4433403\/caitlin-clark\">Caitlin Clark<\/a> to be selected as the No.1 pick.  Along with Clark, UConn Huskies guard<a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/womens-college-basketball\/player\/_\/id\/4433730\/paige-bueckers\"> Paige Bueckers<\/a>, and center <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/womens-college-basketball\/player\/_\/id\/4433408\/aaliyah-edwards\">Aaliyah Edwards <\/a>are eligeable for the draft.
