How is WNBA draft order determined?
There are three rounds, with each round featuring 12 picks.

As the WNBA states: “The order of team picks in each round are the inverse order of the standings from the last regular season, except for the first four picks of the first round, which are determined by the Draft Lottery.

“The Draft Lottery took place in December with the four teams that did not participate in the playoffs in 2021, with the chances of drawing the first pick being based on the teams’ cumulative records over the last two seasons (the team with the worst cumulative two-year record had the best chances of drawing the first pick).”
