WNBA Draft Lottery: Indiana Fever land franchise’s first-ever No. 1 overall pick (and likely Aliyah Boston)

Friday’s WNBA Draft Lottery landed the Indiana Fever the first pick of the 2023 WNBA Draft, with the Minnesota Lynx, Atlanta Dream and Washington Mystics rounding out the rest of the lottery in that order.

If it holds onto the pick, Indiana will have its first No. 1 selection in franchise history and a chance to draft a franchise-changing player.

That franchise-changing player is widely assumed to be South Carolina’s Aliyah Boston, whose college basketball resume includes a national championship, Final Four Most Outstanding Player, Naismith National Player of the Year and National Defensive Player of the Year honors, among many others.

Some other prospects that projected to be chosen in the lottery include Stanford’s Haley Jones, Maryland’s Diamond Miller and UCLA’s Charisma Osborne.

The 2023 WNBA Draft is scheduled for April 10, 2023.

Caesar’s Sportsbook lists the Las Vegas Aces (+200) to win the title next season, followed by Connecticut (+350), Seattle Storm (+600) and Chicago Sky (+650)
