WNBA Draft
6:00 pm CDT

I always view the WNBA draft as the unofficial kick-off of the new season. Unlike the NBA draft, it comes just a month before the season starts, which for the Lynx will be on May 14th at their temporary home the Xcel Energy Center.
Draft picks have not been a priority for the Lynx in recent years as they have competed for (and won) titles with a veteran squad, and have not had high picks nor roster spots to spend on a lot of young talent. It’s left them without much in terms of players for the future, and once again they will be picking last in the draft order tonight thanks to their league-best record last season.
