The 30th season of the WNBA is just some hours away as the 15 teams take center stage after a tumultuous offseason. As the fans prepare for the tournament, the rosters have taken firm shape. While most of them have done a stellar job of addressing their needs in the offseason, some teams have just done it better with some over-the-top moves and trades, already going a step beyond the other teams.
So, without further delay, let’s break down the rosters and rank them based on three major factors.
All 15 WNBA Rosters for 2026 – What We’re Evaluating and Why It Matters
In this piece, we’ll assess each of the 15 rosters of the league based on three criteria- depth, quality, and x-factor- and try to predict its playoff chances in the process. Now, it’s no surprise that when a roster is curated, every franchise wants to tick off these three boxes, as each carries special significance.
For instance, depth is the fundamental unit of a roster that determines a team’s strength beyond its starting five. A greater team depth allows teams to maintain the same level of basketball even when their cornerstone players are on the bench or worse, out of the game. Secondly, there’s quality which, in turn, co-exists to some extent with the depth factor of the teams.
In the current landscape, almost every team can field a quality starting five. The difference in quality between the teams emerges when that team’s depth, or in more newbie language, the bench strength, is tested. A team with quality players and substantial depth will always have an edge. Finally, there’s the X-factor that can potentially make or break a team, and usually makes the difference between a playoff team and a title-contending team.
The X-factors can vary immensely from team to team. For some teams, it may be veteran players who take on this role, while for another team, it may be upcoming rookies. All in all, these three metrics provide solid backing for the assessment, making it easier to understand where the rosters stand on paper ahead of the tip-off.
WNBA 2026 Power Rankings Snapshot – All 15 Teams Ranked Before a Ball is Tipped
Based on the three above-mentioned factors, here’s the complete ranking of the teams for the 2026 WNBA season:
- Las Vegas Aces– One of the most complete teams in the league, with all bases covered
- New York Liberty– Riding high on their Big Three, aspiring for a Championship run
- Indiana Fever– Guard-heavy lineups might create a stir in the upcoming season
- Chicago Sky– A major squad revamp and transitional mindset might help the playoff drought
- Dallas Wings– Strong offseason signings and moves can see them through the season
- Atlanta Dream– One single signing can raise the stock of a team, but it still lacks depth in certain aspects
- Los Angeles Sparks– Veteran-heavy lineup might helm them in the long run of the season
- Minnesota Lynx– Shaky lineup, lacking major depth in certain aspects
- Phoenix Mercury– Has major experienced players, but is missing a key puzzle piece
- Golden State Valkyries– Defensively strong, but needs to compensate for major absences
- Seattle Storm– Young squad with a lack of experience
- Connecticut Sun– Immensely lack scoring prowess, which can hamper their season
- Washington Mystics– A young core that might fumble without much veteran leadership in the squad
- Toronto Tempo– New team, but has some formidable guards
- Portland Fire– Key absences might see a disappointing debut season
Atlanta Dream
The Dream has been one of those teams that have consistently found themselves in the playoff qualification conversation. For instance, they have reached the playoffs in each of their last three seasons, but have fumbled in the first round each time. The 2026 season might be their fourth time lucky one, as they look to build around some key veterans and a free agency signing in Angel Reese that elevates the team’s ceiling immensely.
Depth
In this criterion, there is a mixed reception of the Dream. For context, they gave a fabulous starting five, featuring Rhyne Howard, Allisha Gray, Reese, and Jordin Canada. Yes, it looks pretty daunting with Howard, Gray, and Canada handling perimeter play while Reese dominates the frontcourt. On top of that, they have Naz Hillmon, a four-year veteran, and Madina Okot, a promising rookie center and the Dream’s draft pick this season, who also adds to the team’s front-court strength immensely.
But they do have some issues with their scoring. Now, it’s pretty guaranteed that with Howard and Gray, a lot of the offensive output will fall on their shoulders. Besides them, the Dream lacks a scorer who can carry the team to the finish line on a certain night. Reese, of course, might be an option, but we all know she isn’t the most high-volume scorer on the court, even though she might chip in with the odd 20+ on certain nights.
Playmaking options beyond Howard and Canada are also an aspect that the Atlanta Dream might have to compensate for on the court, especially in the case of any injury nemesis.
Quality
From a quality perspective, the Dream has an abundance of it. We all know what Howard and Gray are capable of pulling off on the court together, with both of them scoring over 17 points per game last season. Reese, on the other hand, has already established herself as an elite rebounder, winning the rebounding leader in both her seasons in the league. And, for all money, she will bring that prowess to Atlanta with her.
Furthermore, players like Canada (team-high 5.7 assists last season) and Hillmon are familiar with the league dynamics and have thrived in the Atlanta Dream landscape, raising the team’s overall value quotient.
X-Factor
For Dream, a lot of it this season depends on Reese and Canada. and for very different reasons. If you look into the Atlanta roster, there aren’t many high numbers producing forwards in the roster (except for Brionna Jones, who recently underwent right knee surgery). As a result, Reese needs to have a fit and fabulous season for the Atlanta Dream to succeed. Subsequently, it’s the same for Canada, whose playmaking skill set might determine a lot on how Dream’s 2026 season fares.
Chicago Sky
Atlanta Dream’s X-factor this season is one of the most haunting losses in Chicago’s history. In fact, not just this season but for the next 10 years, Angel Reese was slated to be their franchise player who would take the franchise to new heights, but instead, the team traded her to the Dream, leaving behind a major void. But as reality set in, the franchise under head coach Tyler Marsh has done quite a fruitful job in terms of rebuilding, bringing in a unique mix of talent and veterans.
Depth
In this season, the team has quickly moved from a star-aligned lineup to establishing the perfect balance on the roster. They have indeed brought in a veteran, Skylar Diggins-Smith, to replace Reese. But subsequently, they have also built around her with young talents. To bolster their frontcourt, they have added players like Rickea Jackson and Kamilla Cardoso.
On top of that, they also didn’t hesitate to add guards alongside Diggins-Smith. Veteran Natasha Cloud became the team’s latest addition and will largely benefit from it in the long run this season. DiJonai Carrington and Rachen Banham are some of the other guards they have roped in to add major depth to the team’s roster.
Quality
With Diggins-Smith, the Sky have hit a jackpot, actually. The former Seattle Storm player might be 35 now, but her records from her last few seasons don’t even reflect that. She has consistently had seasons of 15+ points and 5+ assists per game. It immediately eases off on the offensive output for the Sky, making it an offensively formidable team with Cardoso. On the contrary, the Sky also has players like Cloud, Carrington, and even Cardoso, giving the team that defensive quality and making it a well-balanced one.
X-Factor
Of course, with Diggins-Smith’s addition, the Sky will feel more confident in their roster. But the season can largely be decided by how Natasha Cloud performs for the Sky. Last season, Cloud had an impressive all-around season with the New York Liberty, scoring over 10 points and 5 assists per game. And if she can pull off a similar season with Diggins-Smith, the Chicago Sky will suddenly have a daunting perimeter output that can help them finally break the playoff shackles.
Connecticut Sun
The Connecticut Sun are coming off a losing 11-33 season and, on top of that, have lost vets like Tina Charles and Marina Mabrey, two of their leading scorers last season. They did make some major revamps, bringing in a veteran like Brittney Griner and some exciting new talent as they look to qualify for the playoffs after missing out last season.
Depth
It’s one of the team’s major concerns on paper. To understand it better, you’ll need to understand their dynamics. In terms of scoring, the team relies heavily on 35-year-old Griner, who is coming off a struggling season with the Atlanta Dream, during which she averaged fewer than 10 points. They do have players like Aneesah Morrow and Aaliyah Edwards, who bring a formidable front-court presence and dominance on the boards.
But the lack of depth in viable scoring options and perimeter players is also a major threat to the season ceiling on paper. Most of their bets are on their draft picks and late additions like Hailey Van Lith. Leila Lacan, their 21-year-old prodigy who scored 10+ points a season last year, is also on the roster. But there aren’t many records to go on to predict how these players will perform this season.
Quality
For Sun, they do have some quality players, with Griner slated to be their cornerstone for the season. She has proven her mettle as a natural scorer over the last decade or so. But can she literally carry a team’s offensive output at this point in the season? The answers to it can be obtained throughout the season. Similarly, Morrow is a formidable forward who helps the team on the boards, averaging 6.9 rebounds.
Furthermore, on the brighter side, they have players like Gianna Kneepkens and Charlisse Leger Walker, who are coming off a National Championship-winning UCLA team. Thus, if they can translate a bit of that mentality for the Sun as well, it can give the teams a major push in terms of their ceiling.
X-Factor
As far as we’ve assessed the Connecticut Sun, it’s pretty clear at the moment that their season depends entirely on how Griner turns up. In the preseason stretch, she did showcase some major form, scoring 16 points against a stacked New York Liberty. Furthermore, the eyes will also be on the young prospects like Lecan and Kneepkens. If they can have a breakthrough year, the Sun will start looking like a different team.
Dallas Wings
The Wings are in for a redemption this season, after missing back-to-back playoff qualifications in the last two seasons. And off the court, they have done everything possible in that regard to achieve that. From high-value roster additions to a headline-grabbing WNBA Draft, the Wings’ offseason used all of it to curate a roster that can challenge for the WNBA Championship title.
Depth
The team’s offseason moves have ensured immense depth by simply building around its existing go-to players, like Paige Bueckers and Arike Ogunbowale. With that duo, the backcourt was already sorted, but on top of that, they added Azzi Fudd from the draft. Aziaha James is also returning for the season, while the front court is overhauled by players like Alanna Smith, Maddy Siegrist, and Jessica Shepard.
All of this suggests that the Wings have options at every position on the court. But on the contrary, they do lack players to ensure defensive inconsistencies. They do have players to address it, like James and Smith, but the team is still missing the efficiency in that area. Furthermore, the dominant physicality factor near the post is also missing for them, but their frontcourt can compensate, especially with the experience of James and Smith.
Quality
Given their roster outline, it’s pretty clear they have quality players on both ends of the court. Bueckers and Ogunbowale are proven volume scorers and also led the team in scoring last for the Wings. On top of that, Smith, last year’s WNBA Co-defensive player of the year, and James can compensate on the defensive end, striking a perfect balance of how they can operate. Players like Shepard, Fuff, and Siegrist can just build on this to raise the playoff ceiling of the team this season.
X-Factor
Bueckers, their leading scorer for the team last season, will be the go-to player for the Wings in this regard. Be it ball-handling or volume scoring, Bueckers will give the Wings the Edge. Furthermore, a lot also rests on the shoulders of Fudd, who is under quite huge expectations after going no.1 in the WNBA Draft. Bueckers and Fudd have a bit of a historical link-up as their roots stem from UConn. If they can materialize the same level of impact in the Wings as well as in some stretches of the season, the Wings will feel immensely comfortable.
Golden State Valkyries
Fresh off an impressive playoff run in their debut season, the Valkyries are just coming with a single aim this season: Seamlessly build on their success from last year. The team has made some major moves to strengthen its roster, bringing in key veterans to bring experience to an array of young talent for the 2026 season.
Depth
One of the most notable acquisitions for the Valkyries in the season was bringing in Gabby Williams to the shores. Williams, on the paper, is one of the most formidable perimeter defenders in the current era. It adds weight to the defensive quality and the experience level. And with Veronica Burton already in the roster, this duo can make the Valkyries one of the most defensively standout in the season. Furthermore, on the scoring end, they have players like Burton, Tiffany Hayes, and Kayla Thornton, which reflects significant depth.
Quality
With a stacked roster featuring Williams, Burton, Hayes, and Thornton, the team’s on-paper quality is quite strong. But the only caveat for them in this regard is that they will miss the services of their experienced center, Iliana Rupert, who will be out for the season due to pregnancy. As a result, it will be interesting to see if the Valkyries can field the same quality and dominance without Rupert in the season.
X-Factor
While the Valkyries do have major options in terms of scorers, it’s quite certain that for the Valkyries to have a good season, it will eventually come down to how their defense turns up. And subsequently, it will be Burton and Williams’ season that determines the Valkyries’ ceiling this year.
Indiana Fever
The Indiana Fever, like the Atlanta Dream, has consistently pushed towards the playoffs over the last few years. But subsequently, haven’t been able to crack the final code. But the roster they have assembled this season can help them in this regard.
Depth
The Fever’s starting five is quite stacked with talented players, including their holy trinity- Kelsey Mitchell, Caitlin Clark, and Aliyah Boston. To compensate for the departures of players like Natasha Howard, the Fever has added Myisha Hines-Allen, Ty Harris, and Monique Billings. They have perfect replacements for all these starters, with their bench lashed with experienced talents like Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull.
Furthermore, their latest WNBA Draft pick, Raven Johnson, is yet another player who can be dependable for the team and fill in Clark’s shoes as the field general on the court when the former isn’t on the court.
Quality
The Fever has one of the league’s hottest rosters right now. In Clark, they have an elite ball handler and perimeter player who can shake opposition defenses at will. On top of that, they have a veteran scorer like Mitchell, who is coming off a 20+ points season in 2025. Boston adds to the team’s frontcourt depth and will be backed by able aides like Myisha Hines-Allen and Monique Billings.
And not to forget the possible off-the-bench players they have at their disposal, including Cunningham, Hull, and Johnson, who can allow the Indiana Fever to play with the same tempo in a game without diminishing the quality of play.
X-Factor
From their roster outline, it’s quite understandable that the Indiana Fever has one of the most guard-heavy rosters this season. And as a result, a lot of it will depend on Clark’s season this year. It’s true that even without CC, the Fever did qualify for the playoffs last season, but with Clark being fit, the Indiana Fever can go that extra mile from being a semifinal team to a championship-contending one.
On the other hand, players like Boston, Hull, and, to a certain extent, even Johnson will also be equally important in bringing about defensive stability in the team.
Las Vegas Aces
The Aces are one of the most dominant WNBA basketball dynasties over the last few years. They aren’t just winning titles but are establishing a chapter of dominance for the history books. Winning three titles in the last four years says a lot about how they have gone behind their business, and the upcoming season seems to be no different in this regard.
Depth
While speaking of the Aces, one name that goes synonymous with the franchise is A’ja Wilson. Last year’s MVP and Defensive Player of the Year will bring that much-needed leadership and frontcourt presence as well to the team. Chelsea Gray, Jackie Young, and Jewell Lloyd fit perfectly in the roster to add to the team’s backcourt strength.
In terms of bench strength, the Aces have players like Nalyssa Smith, Kristen Bell, and Janiah Barker in the frontcourt, while Chennedy Carter and Dana Evans can help Gray and Young on the perimeter.
Quality
With so many veteran players on the roster, it’s only natural that it is one of the top teams in this regard. After all, it isn’t out of the blue that the team has received the most votes in the WNBA GM survey to win the Championships this season. And from a broader perspective, it isn’t even a surprise. With Wilson taking care of business on either side of the court, Gray dictating the play as the field general, and scoring sprees from Young and Lloyd, the team can be hard to stop when it gets going.
Furthermore, it’s worth underscoring that the quality doesn’t diminish when these players sit out, because they have a scorer like Carter coming in or a Kristen Bell coming in.
X-Factor
The Las Vegas Aces’ Big Three can determine a lot about how their 2026 season will go. If the team can click well and lead on most metrics, as it did last season with Wilson leading in four, the team will be on the front foot right from the word go. Besides them, Carter can be another Wild Card who can pay them huge returns if the trick pays off well. In her years at the W, Carter has navigated a 15+ points season with ease. And a similar one this year might just change and add to the Aces’ ceiling this year.
Los Angeles Sparks
Going into the 2026 WNBA season, the Sparks are moving in with a veteran-heavy roster, bringing Championship-winning experience to the squad and a perfect all-around quality.
Depth
Kelsey Plum, a player they acquired last season, remains their single most important backcourt player. Averaging 19 points last season, Plum will be vested with the responsibility to call the shots on the court, along with their offseason signing of Ariel Atkins. Furthermore, the season will also mark the homecoming for veteran Nneka Ogwumike, who brings elite frontcourt dominance along with elite scoring, with Dearica Hamby also chiming in with her at the end of the court.
Quality
With so many veterans in a single roster, there won’t be any lack of quality for the Sparks, technically. With Plum linking in with Ogwumike on the court, the Sparks are already a step ahead of other teams. On top of that, they also have a certain Cameron Brink, who can contribute to the defensive scheme of things for the Sparks. In her second rookie year, Brink ranked second in the league for blocks. But the issue arises in the post: the Sparks don’t have any valuable options behind Brink, leaving them dry in that regard.
X-Factor
There isn’t any doubt that Plum and Ogwumike’s season will eventually determine Sparks’ positioning in the season. But don’t count out their draftee Ta’Niya Latson as well, who has made a name for herself as a volume scorer from the backcourt during her South Carolina days.
Minnesota Lynx
Depth
The depth factor is a tale of two sides for the Lynx. On one hand, they have players like Napheesa Collier, Courtney Williams, Kayla McBride, and Natasha Howard, along with Olivia Miles, making them quite a daunting team. But on the contrary, they have also lost crucial defensive players such as Alanna Smith, Jessica Shepard, and Bridget Carleton, which has hampered the team’s depth to some extent. Although they have tried to replicate with major signings like Dorka Juhasz, their strength isn’t looking as daunting as it did last season.
Quality
Yet despite that, the Lynx don’t have any shortage of quality, as with a franchise player like Collier and formidable backcourt players like Williams, McBride, and Miles, they have their bases covered, allowing them to aspire to a successful stretch in the upcoming season. But with Collier missing the first few games due to recovery, it creates another caveat for them.
X-Factor
Without a doubt, Lynx’s playoff hopes this season will rest on Collier’s shoulders in 2026. If she can have an injury-free season, the Lynx will certainly look a lot better, thanks to the 20+ points she scores with ease for the team. In that regard, eyes will also be on their No. 2 draft pick, Olivia Miles, who can also have a breakthrough season after a stellar collegiate stretch with TCU.
New York Liberty
The NY Liberty has done one of the most formidable jobs in the offseason, retaining their Big Three with ease to bring continuity to the roster, making them one of the most feared teams to watch out for this season.
Depth
With their Big Three returning, the Liberty has yet again found its old equation. Their frontcourt is lashed with major talents like Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones. While it wasn’t enough, they also brought in a certain Satou Sabally, who brings a guard-like skill from the forward position. From the backcourt perspective as well, they have a veteran in Sabrina Ionescu, with Rebekah Gardner adding depth in that position.
Quality
All of these players- Stewart, Ionescu, and Jones are all proven game winners in that regard. They have already established what they can do together in 2024, when the Liberty won the WNBA Championships. They indeed struggled last season with the same team, but the valuable addition of Sabally can just make things a lot better. Furthermore, the team has also roped in additional talented players, such as Han Xu, contributing to the team’s physicality near the post.
X-Factor
Despite so many talented and veteran players, the major make-or-break player for the NY Liberty will be Breanna Stewart. It isn’t undermining the rest of the players mentioned above, but just a nod to the multiple qualities she brings to the table. On the court, she isn’t just a regular scorer; she excels, averaging over 18 points per game last season. But on the other hand, she also led her team in blocks and steals, remarking that a good season for her can immediately raise the NY Liberty’s stock for the season.
Phoenix Mercury
Depth
The Mercury has quite a team to boast of going into the season. Alyssa Thomas, Kahleah Cooper, and DeWanna Bonner will all grace the court for the Mercury in the season, leaving no pressure on offensive and defensive output for the team. On top of that, the team also has Sami Whitcomb to help them with roster balance.
Quality
Their trio of Cooper, Bonner, and Thomas is firmly experienced and also made a good run to the WNBA finals last season. Although they lost 0-4 in the Championship, they will look to build on that massively. But losing Satou Sabally to the New York Liberty has left a major void for them in this regard, which their experienced campaigners will somehow have to close the cracks upon.
X-Factor
For all money, the season for Mercury will be heavily dependent on Bonner and Cooper. The good news for the team is that both had a good season last time around, scoring over 10 points each, and they need to do exactly that after losing key players.
Portland Fire
Depth
The team has bet heavily on Bridget Carleton to give them substantial success in their debut season, picking her No. 1 in the expansion draft. Around her, the team has been built with players like Carla Leite, Luisa Geiselsoder, and Megan Gustafson. Furthermore, the Fire also has Serah Williams, who brings quite defensive stability and physical presence near the paint.
Quality
The major caveat for the Fire is that, in this regard, it isn’t about undermining these talents, but rather the fact that they don’t have a veteran presence on the roster like the other expansion team, Toronto Tempo, has in Brittney Sykes and Marina Mabrey. Be it Carleton or Gustafson, both have shown flashes of their talents, but neither has been consistently good enough to raise the team’s ceiling.
X-Factor
Bridget Carleton will be the one who will lead Fire’s aspirations in the franchise’s debut season. She has had quite a bit of experience with the Minnesota Lynx over the last few seasons, contributing mostly off the bench on both ends of the court. But it will be interesting to see how the team fares with the absence of players like Nika Muhl
Seattle Storm
Depth
The Storm have lost several key players from their roster in the offseason. Players like Nneka Ogwumike and Skyler Diggins-Smith have departed, leaving Dominique Malonga and Ezi Magbegor as the centerpiece of this transitional year. But the good news for them is that they had a stellar WNBA Draft, landing crucial players like Awa Fam and Flau’jae Johnson.
Furthermore, they have also brought in experienced Natisha Hiedeman, but despite that, the sheer veteranship on the roster they had last year is sorely missing, which raises serious questions for them.
Quality
Malonga and Magbegor have already proved themselves in what they can do at the frontcourt for the Storm. They are immensely defensive and will bring defensive stability to the Storm. Fam, in her rookie season, is also a proven game-winner in that regard. And quite naturally will look to seamlessly fit into the team’s frontcourt. In the offensive scheme of things, the responsibility will fall immensely of their rookie, Johnson, who has looked quite sharp in the preseason games, scoring 32 points.
X-Factor
With a lack of depth around the squad, it will be immensely critical for Johnson to have a good season for the Storm to add some major substance to their offensive prowess. Of course, it’s too much to ask for from a rookie, but we’ve seen her do that with ease for LSU, and it will be interesting to see if she can materialize that for the Storm in the pro circuit.
Toronto Tempo
Depth
Despite being an expansion team, the Tempo has assembled a talented roster featuring Marina Mabrey, Brittney Sykes, Kia Nurse, and Julie Allemand. All of these players will contribute to Tempo’s staggering backcourt, while players like Nyara Sabally and draft pick Kiki Rice will help them extend their dominance from the frontcourt as well.
Quality
With so many veteran guards, Tempo’s roster looks quite guard-heavy, reflecting that most of their output will also go through them. Mabrey and Sykes are proven elite scorers, while Allemand will help the Tempo with playmaking. With Sabally, they can pose a physical presence near the paint, but outside of that, the team will have to compensate for the lack of interior depth for the 2026 season.
X-Factor
As a new team, it’s hard to predict from the guidebook which team they’ll follow on the court, but from last season’s stats, Mabrey seems to be their X-factor, who will determine their ceiling in their debut season. Mabrey scored over 14 points per game last season, and a similar season will be expected of her by the franchise, being the team’s primary scoring option.
Washington Mystics
Depth
Similar to the Storm, the Mystics lost veteran players in Brittney Sykes. It leaves them entirely reliant on Shakira Austin, a four-year veteran. Furthermore, they have All-Star players like Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen, as well as top draft prospects like Lauren Betts, Angela Dugalic, and Cotie McMahon. Although the team looks quite stacked on paper, its lack of experience can hamper it at times.
Quality
Austin is quite a proven talent, who is coming off a 10+ points and 6+ rebounds last season. Citron and Iriafen being all stars, their prowess is also self-explanatory. Their young core is where things get interesting for them, where Betts and Dugalic will bring the Championship-winning mentality, while McMahon will bring elite scoring from the frontcourt.
X-Factor
One of the wild cards that can seriously impact the Mystics this season is Lauren Betts. Coming off a stellar season where she led the Bruins from both a scoring perspective and defending the paint, Betts is currently one of the sought-after rookies in the WNBA. If Betts can have a breakthrough season for the Mystics this year, they will feel immensely comfortable.
Final Verdict – Which Teams Are Primed to Make a Deep Playoff Run?
With a complete assessment of the 15 teams, it’s clear that quite a few are looking to make a long run in the season. For instance, teams like the Indiana Fever and the Dallas Wings, with guard-heavy rosters and stars like Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers, will, of course, be in the playoff conversation. And the same goes for the Atlanta Dream, who can make things work to make a deep run, at least in the playoffs. Notably, teams like the Chicago Sky and the Los Angeles Sparks also fall in this same bracket.
Now, let’s move on to the teams that are currently looking to make it to the Championship game this season. The defending champions, the Las Vegas Aces, look quite stacked as well to make it a double-double this season. With their big three returning, they have quite a stellar depth in the roster, while also bringing in immense quality with players like A’ja Wilson and Chelsea Gray.
The New York Liberty also boasts an Avengers-like roster, with both its frontcourt and backcourt featuring its Big Three returning and the signing of Satou Sabally. On paper, these two teams look quite poised to make it to the WNBA Championship game in the business end of the season. But as always, the statement is with sports- a game is never won on paper. And eventually, all of it will be determined by the sheer consistency that the teams will show, which begins on May 9.
