The Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) held their third dispersal draft on January 8, 2007.[1][2]
This dispersal draft re-assigned players from the Charlotte Sting who folded in December 2006, after the end of the 2006 WNBA season.[3][4] The remaining thirteen active teams in the WNBA each selected one player from the 2006 Sting roster in the one-round draft.[5] Teams drafted in inverse order of their 2006 regular season finish.[3][6]
All Sting players were available except for unrestricted free agents, Allison Feaster and Tammy Sutton-Brown.[3] Two players from the Sting, Tasha Butts and Summer Erb, were not selected in the dispersal draft and became free agents on January 15.[1]
