The Kastles then made a trade with the Orange County Breakers to move up in the Marquee Player portion of the draft to select Bob and Mike Bryan. They Kastles also added Mardy Fish. Round 1 and 2 of the roster picks protected Leander Paes and Sam Querrey. Then the Kastles protected Anastasia Rodionova and Madison Brengle.

Event chronology

Draft picks

As defending WTT champions, the Kastles selected last in each round of the draft. 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.
