Unlike previous seasons in which WTT conducted its Marquee Player Draft and its Roster Player Draft on different dates about one month apart, the league conducted a single draft at the Miami Open at Crandon Park in Key Biscaine, Florida on March 25, 2016. The selections made by the Kastles are shown in the table below.
