The Los Angeles Sparks were the happiest team coming out of the WNBA draft lottery, winning the first overall pick.  Chicago Sky, who had just a 9.7% chance, managed to win the 2nd pick, while the Minnesota Lynx took third.  New franchise Atlanta took fourth, followed by Houston Comets, Washington Mystics, New York Liberty, Seattle Storm, Connecticut Sun, Sacramento Monarchs, Detroit Shock, Indiana Fever and Phoenix Mercury.

Chicago Sky have already talked about potential picks, which include University of Tennessee star Candace Parker, Louisana States top center Sylvia Fowles and Candice Wiggins, who plays guard for Stanford.  The most interesting one of those players is Candace Parker, an all-american and one of the best players to enter this sport, and surely the #1 pick.

Indiana Fever have announced they shall not retain coach Brian Winters.  Winters led the Fever to one victory away from the WNBA finals this season.  Indiana join Phoenix and Atlanta in the search for new coaches.  Hopefully Winters stays in the game, because he did a great job at Fever despite the loss of star player Tamika catchings.
