ESPN's Ryan Ruocco will host the draft broadcast along with analysts Rebecca Lobo and Andraya Carter and reporter Holly Rowe. The WNBA draft festivities begin with the WNBA Countdown presented by Google at 7 p.m. ET and hosted by LaChina Robinson, along with analysts Carolyn Peck and Chiney Ogwumike. The pre-show will include “interviews with key draftees,” highlights from Clark's college basketball career and a fashion overview, according to ESPN.

After a record-breaking NCAA Women's Championship with the highest ratings in championship history, Reese hopes the ratings increase extends to the WNBA.
