Former Oregon superstar Sabrina Ionescu will be the first player selected in Friday night’s 2020 WNBA Draft, but the experience won’t be quite what she likely imagined ahead of her final college season. Due to the coronavirus pandemic that cut college seasons short and stole Ionescu’s chance to win a national championship with the Ducks, the WNBA Draft will be conducted with teams and draft picks taking part remotely.
The 2020 WNBA Draft will begin at 7:00 p.m. ET on ESPN.
A total of 36 players will be selected over three rounds, and the top overall pick belongs to the New York Liberty. The Liberty have a total of five of the first 15 picks in the draft, while the Dallas Wings have three of the first nine picks.
