The Minnesota Lynx have traded their first-round pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft in exchange for Washington Mystics forward Karlie Samuelson. Samuelson is fresh off a career season with the Mystics in which she averaged 8.4 points per game and shot 39.8% from three, also posting 2.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.
In 2023, Samuelson was one of the WNBA’s best shooters, joining Jackie Young, Chelsea Gray, and Lexie Brown as the only players to shoot at least 45% percent from the field and 40% percent from three-point range.
