NEW YORK -- The Cleveland Rockers won the WNBA's draft lottery Thursday, as the league and the players' association worked out the final details of a new collective bargaining agreement.

Cleveland will make the first pick in the draft, tentatively scheduled to be held Friday at 1 p.m. ET. But WNBA spokeswoman Traci Cook said: "We won't be holding a draft until there is a signed agreement.''

The union announced an agreement in principle on a new deal last Friday, but the league said negotiations were ongoing.

The Rockers went 10-22 last year, tied for the second-worst record in the league.

"After some of the tough luck we had last season, taking the first pick is a good way to start 2003,'' coach Dan Hughes said. "It's an exciting opportunity to improve our team.''

The league also held its dispersal draft Thursday, involving players from the now-defunct Miami Sol and the Portland Fire. Former Miami center Ruth Riley was taken first in the one-round draft, by the Detroit Shock. Ex-Portland guard Jackie Stiles was the last of the 14 players chosen, by the Los Angeles Sparks.

The Sacramento Monarchs will have the second pick in the overall draft and will be followed in order, by the Detroit Shock, the Phoenix Mercury, Detroit again (from Connecticut), the Indiana Fever, the Washington Mystics, the Seattle Storm, the Charlotte Sting, the New York Liberty, the San Antonio Silver Stars and the Houston Comets.
