The 2024 WNBA Draft Lottery has arrived, with the big event set for Sunday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. ET in between the Utah vs. South Carolina and North Carolina vs. UConn games at the Basketball Hall of Fame Women's Showcase. Soon, we'll learn which lucky team will have the No. 1 overall pick in what is projected to be one of the best classes ever. 

Iowa guard Caitlin Clark, the reigning Naismith Player of the Year, is expected to be the top pick, though there are a number of other talented players in the mix, including UConn guard Paige Bueckers and Stanford center Cameron Brink, just to name a few. 

This year, the lottery is made up of the Indiana Fever, Los Angeles Sparks, Phoenix Mercury and Seattle Storm. Due to the league's policy of using the combined records of the past two seasons to determine lottery odds, the Fever have the best chance of winning the first pick. 

As the lottery approaches, here's a look at which team needs the top pick the most.
