Seattle has three additional picks at Nos. 14, 16 and 39.
The Dallas Wings used the No. 1 overall pick on UConn sharpshooter Azzi Fudd and the Minnesota Lynx selected TCU point guard Olivia Miles at No. 2,.
Per the new collective bargaining agreement, Fam Thiam receives a four-year $2 million deal that pays her $436,000 this season and includes a team option in 2029.
