The WNBA’s first round will have 12 picks rather than 13, because Las Vegas was docked a first-rounder due to a violation of league rules. Dallas has four first-round picks (No. 1, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 12) while Connecticut also has multiple picks (No. 7 and No. 8). Here is how it might go:

There is no doubt that Paige Bueckers will be the No. 1 selection of Monday's WNBA draft in New York. The Dallas Wings own that pick and hope Bueckers will pump energy into the franchise the way Caitlin Clark did last season for the Indiana Fever.

Blockbuster trades in the final 48 hours before the WNBA draft are extremely rare, but the Storm are uniquely positioned to make a strong run at the No. 1 pick.
