WNBA Draft 2025: An FAQ on the Mystics’ first round draft picks and how the lottery chances are finalized

After posting on some positive and some negative things I saw from the Washington Mystics in the 2024 WNBA season, it’s important that I touch on this subject: the 2025 WNBA Draft.

Let’s be honest, the Mystics have a 5-17 record, tied for worst in the WNBA with the Dallas Wings. But on the bright side, having a bad team gives a squad a better chance at a top draft pick in 2025, with UConn guard PAIGE BUECKERS, who will likely be a franchise player on any team she ends up on.

The news gets a bit better though, because Washington also has a second first round pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft from a trade with the Dallas Wings in 2023.
