2020 WNBA Draft Tracker: Sabrina Ionescu Goes No. 1, Satou Sabally Taken No. 2

Check out every team's pick during the 2020 WNBA draft.

The WNBA held its draft on Friday evening, a rare sporting event taking place during the coronavirus pandemic. 

This year's draft looked different than usual due to its virtual format. Coaches and general managers conducted the draft remotely and couldn't gather in teams' "war rooms" because of the virus. No players, guests or reporters joined commissioner Cathy Engelbert in-person when she announced the picks, although drafted players took part via video conference. 

Prior to the first pick being announced, the WNBA announced Alyssa Altobelli, Gianna Bryant and Payton Chester as honorary draftees in the WNBA draft in what was a moving tribute.

The New York Liberty selected Oregon guard Sabrina Ionescu with the No. 1 overall pick, followed by the Dallas Wings taking Oregon forward Satou Sabally at No. 2 overall and the Indiana Fever selecting Baylor forward Lauren Cox at No. 3. 

On Wednesday, the Liberty traded All-Star Tina Charles to the Washington Mystics in a three-team deal to receive the 12th draft pick from Washington and the ninth and 15th picks from Dallas.
