Minnesota wins draft lottery

Minnesota won the draft lottery and the right to take UConn's Maya Moore with the first pick of April's WNBA draft. The Lynx will also get the No. 4 pick as a result of the trade it made when the Connecticut Sun acquired the rights to Kelsey Griffin in a draft day trade. Tulsa and Chicago got the No. 2 and 3 picks.

While you'd have to assume Minnesota will take Moore or at least require a king's ransom to trade the No. 1 pick, it's not a farfetched idea that 6-foot-8 Aussie Liz Cambage could fall to Minnesota at No. 4. Tulsa obviously needs immediate help and can they take a chance on a kid who could be getting pressure to stay in Australia to be more available to train with the national team. Chicago has Sylvia Fowles so what would be the point of taking Cambage?
