New Blog: Once A Metro covering Red Bull New York!

NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 2009 – The Minnesota Lynx won the ninth annual WNBA Draft Lottery and earned the top pick in the 2010 WNBA Draft, the league announced today.

Minnesota had 428 chances out of 1,000 to receive the first overall selection by virtue of owning New York’s combinations (261) in addition to its own (167). The Sacramento Monarchs, who had 420 chances, will have the second pick followed by the Connecticut Sun, Minnesota Lynx and Chicago Sky.

Minnesota had the combinations for the New York Liberty’s pick due to the trade involving Sidney Spencer, Noelle Quinn and Raffaella Masciadri on May 5, 2009.

Who says Minnesota's professional basketball teams don't have luck in the lotto?! Via WNBA.com.

No way. Why can't the Wolves ever be this lucky?

Jayne Appel, welcome to Minnesota!!!

Meaning I will kill someone if she’s not our pick.

@MechelleV: Minnesota wins what appears to be the Tina Charles sweepstakes: top pick in WNBA draft.

That’d be fine too.

It needs to be a center though. We kind of shot ourselves in the foot last year dealing away Nicole Ohlde.

Nope, actually I lied. I’d rather have Appel.

1st and 4th picks, wow. Can’t say I’m a huge fan, but that’s great!

When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead. True story.
