The Dallas Wings won the 2025 WNBA Draft Lottery, and the Paige Bueckers jokes are splendid.
Sunday’s selection process to determine the first four picks of next year’s draft was a doozy. Let’s start with the unexciting stuff. As expected, Washington’s failed tank job seemingly kept the team out of the Bueckers sweepstakes at pick No. 4 (sorry, Mystics fans), and Chicago managed to avoid the awkwardness of potentially swapping picks with Dallas by landing at No. 3. Then, it got a little spicy.
The Sparks, who many thought would walk away with the first pick, landed at No. 2. That cleared a path for the Dallas Wings to land at the top of the draft. In a wild twist of events, former Sparks coach Curt Miller, now the Wings’ general manager, will be part of the team potentially selecting Paige Bueckers next spring. WILD TIMES.
I just fell to my knees. THANK YOU LORD! 😭😭😭😭

As you can see, Miller and Wings star Arike Ogunbowale were thrilled. But, of course, the jokes started flying after that.
Honestly, these are truly tremendous.
