The Lynx will have the No. 1 pick in the WNBA Draft next April. Minnesota, a non-playoff team the past five years, won the four-team draft lottery with New York's first-round pick. The Lynx obtained the Liberty's pick in a three-team trade last January.
Minnesota has had the top pick just once before, in 2006 when the Lynx drafted Seimone Augustus. The Lynx also will have the No. 4 overall selection.
Sacramento picks second and Connecticut third. The other lottery team, Chicago, picks fifth.
