The Dallas Wings have acquired the No. 1 pick in the 2021 WNBA draft as part of a series of trades that will have major ramifications throughout the league.
Dallas has acquired the pick from the Seattle Storm in exchange for forward Katie Lou Samuelson and Dallas’s second-round pick in 2022. As a result, the Wings become the first team in WNBA history to hold the first and second overall picks in the same draft.
The Storm first acquired the pick, along with a 2022 first-round pick and a 2022 second-pick, on Wednesday from the New York Liberty.
