Bryan Armen Graham, Andrew Lawrence, Stephanie Kaloi and I made our predictions for how we think tonight will go. Who will go No 1? Who are some late-round sleepers? Which international players should you know?

Hello from New York! We’re an hourfrom the start of this year’s WNBA draft.

We come to you in the middle of a very packed offseason. Less than a month ago, the WNBA and its players agreed on a new collective bargaining agreement after more than a year of tense negotiations. Since then, the offseason has been a full-on sprint. The expansion draft for the league’s two new teams in Toronto and Portland took place on 3 April; March Madness wrapped up with UCLA’s win over South Carolina on 5 April; the free agency period officially opened last Monday; and now it’s draft time.

The biggest rising stars in the women’s game are here at the Shed at Hudson Yards. We’ve got the four main contenders to be the No 1 pick – UConn’s Azzi Fudd, TCU’s Olivia Miles, UCLA’s Lauren Betts and Spanish phenom Awa Fam. LSU’s Flau’jae Johnson, South Carolina’s Raven Johnson and Mississippi’s Cotie McMahon are also among the 15 players in attendance.

The draft begins at 7pm Eastern time. The players have already hit the orange carpet. (Photos to come!)
