Draft Pick Position
The draft order rule: Picks 1–5 go to non-playoff teams via lottery, then expansion teams follow, slotting in at 6 and 7.
🤝 Expansion Pick — Who Picks First?
Toronto and Portland may flip a coin to determine which team picks 6th and which picks 7th.
Toronto won the coin toss on March 27 and had two options: the first overall pick in the Expansion Draft OR the sixth overall pick in the WNBA Draft.
Toronto chose the No. 6 pick in the WNBA Draft.
Portland will then pick first in the Expansion Draft.
