Delle Donne and Parker choose their teams for All-Star Game

The draft is finished and the squads are set for Team Delle Donne and Team Parker in the WNBA All-Star Game. The league switched its format this year with captains choosing the sides and getting rid of conference affiliations. Both Parker and Delle Donne kept their WNBA teammates close for the game that will be played in Minnesota on July 28.

Delle Donne said she took her Washington Mystics teammate Kristi Toliver first. Parker drafted Sparks teammates Chelsea Gray and Nneka Ogwumike. Ogwumike also will be able to play with sister Chiney of the Connecticut Sun for the first time in their pro careers as she's also on Team Parker.

"I'm thrilled to be able to play with my sister for the first time since Stanford," Chiney Ogwumike texted the AP.

The draft, which wasn't publicly revealed, was conducted earlier Thursday via a conference call between the two captains.

"It's been a lot of fun. I'm glad we only picked earlier this morning as I haven't had to keep the secret for too long," Delle Donne said. "Candace and I were going back and forth on the phone . ... How can you go wrong when you have a group of All-Stars."

Other members of Parker's team are guards Skylar Diggins-Smith, Jewell Loyd and Allie Quigley. In the frontcourt are Liz Cambage, Tina Charles, Angel McCoughtry and Maya Moore. Moore was supposed to be captain of this team as she was the top vote-getter, but declined.

Delle Donne's team includes Seimone Augustus, Sue Bird, Kayla McBride and Diana Taurasi. Bird is playing in her record 11th All-Star Game. In the frontcourt will be DeWanna Bonner, Sylvia Fowles, Brittney Griner, Breanna Stewart and A'ja Wilson.

For the second consecutive year the WNBA, in partnership with the Women's National Basketball Players Association, will donate $10,000 to a charity of the winner of the 3-point contest. Allie Quigley won last year and she most likely will try and defend her title.
