The WNBA Draft Lottery is an annual event. It features the teams that did not make the playoffs. These teams compete through a weighted random draw, and this gives them a chance to secure one of the top picks in the upcoming draft. This offers league’s struggling teams with an opportunity to rebuild and become more competitive.

The system is somewhat similar to the NBA Draft Lottery. Both leagues follow a process that includes a randomized draw using ping-pong balls or equivalent methods to determine the order of the top picks among non-playoff teams. However, in the NBA, only the top four picks are decided by the lottery. After those four, the remaining first-round order follows the inverse of each team’s win-loss record.
