The 2020 WNBA Draft is set to be one of the most exciting — and most talent-filled — since the league's inception in 1997.

The New York Liberty won't officially be on the clock with the first overall pick until Friday at 7 p.m., but in the meantime, experts from around the WNBA world have put together mock drafts predicting how the first round will play out.

We analyzed the mock drafts of six experts — ESPN's Mechelle Voepel, CBS's Jack Maloney, Bleacher Report's Theo Salaun, SB Nation's Matt Ellentuck and Eric Nemchock, and Newsday's Mike Rose — to see if we could find any consensus on how the first round will transpire.

Without further ado, check out what the experts think will happen in the first round of the draft and their thoughts on each pick.
