From 1997-2002, there were 4 Rounds. A draft lottery determines the order for the first 4 picks of the draft. The 4 teams that are eligible for the lottery are the teams that did not make the playoffs. The team with the worst record over a two-year span (current year and previous) year, has the most chances to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the first 4 overall picks, the rest of the teams are placed in reverse order of their regular season records. The reverse of the current season&#8217;s standings are used for the remaining rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, The Indiana Fever have 7 total draft selections out of the 36 total; including, 4 of the top ten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s First Round is currently in the following order, with their presumed selections in parenthesis:<br><br>1. Atlanta Dream: (Rhyne Howard)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Indiana Fever: (NaLyssa Smith)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Washington Mystics: (Shakira Austin)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4.
