NEW YORK â The Dallas Wings basically control the WNBA draft on Thursday night with the top two picks and four first-round choices.
Itâs the first time in league history that a team will choose both No. 1 and 2. The Wings acquired the top pick in a February trade after being awarded the second choice in the draft lottery.
âIt has made draft preparation a little bit easier,â Wings President and General Manager Greg Bibb said in a phone interview Wednesday. âTypically, youâre trying to figure out what you want to do and what everyone else wants to do, and that impacts what you want to do. The first two picks, you donât have to worry about that. Itâs a nice luxury to have.â
