"By winning a literal fifty-fifty coin flip against the fellow-expansion Portland Fire, Canada's WNBA team was given the choice between receiving the higher entry draft selection or the first overall pick in the expansion draft and chose the former."
"Toronto's choice for the higher selection in the entry draft appears to be a strategic roster-building move, given that over 80 per cent of the league - including 21 of 24 all-stars - are free agents heading into a WNBA season set to begin in less than two months."
"Although there's no consensus No. 1 pick heading into the entry draft as in recent years past, there are plenty of top prospects for Tempo fans to scout out in the coming days, including UCLA's Lauren Betts, UConn's Azzi Fudd, LSU's Flau'jae Johnson and TCU's Olivia Miles."
Toronto Tempo won a coin flip against Portland Fire, allowing them to select sixth in the entry draft and second in the expansion draft. This decision is seen as a strategic move to secure top talent, especially with many free agents in the league. The team aims to build a strong roster ahead of the upcoming season, with several promising prospects available. The Tempo also has three picks in the 2026 entry draft, indicating a long-term strategy for team development.
