Comets' Return: Conspiracy or Coincidence?
14 Nov
Summary
- Houston Comets share top lottery odds for 2027 WNBA Draft.
- Linda Cohn suggests potential 'conspiracy' around Houston's return.
- USC's JuJu Watkins and Texas' Madison Booker are top prospects.
The Houston Comets are poised for a notable return to the WNBA, entering the league with the same top odds as the Toronto Tempo for the 2027 WNBA Draft's No. 1 pick. This potential opportunity has drawn commentary from media personality Linda Cohn, who raised eyebrows at the timing of the Comets' resurgence, referencing the franchise's history of success.
The Comets, carrying the Sun's record from the 2025 and 2026 seasons, and the expansion Toronto Tempo both hold a 32.9% chance of securing the first selection. The lottery is scheduled for November 15 at 7:30 p.m. ET, with Houston guaranteed a pick no lower than third.
Top prospects like USC's JuJu Watkins and Texas' Madison Booker are reportedly on the Comets' radar, regardless of their lottery outcome. Watkins, a projected leading prospect, and Booker, known for her scoring and defense, represent significant potential additions as Houston rebuilds its roster for its comeback season.
