WNBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Two well-balanced scoring and defensive units

The Sun are not solely dependent upon Jonquel Jones anymore and their scoring balance is amazing. most of the scorers hover in the 10-15 points with different players leading the charge. Having Alyssa Thomas helps as she has been the most effective all-around player for the team. The other big impact has been on the defensive end and the bench also looks deep with Brionna Jones in the middle and supported by guards Anderson and Carington. The Sun has set a wonderful template to start the season.

On the other hand, the Aces have done a great job of being a balanced scoring team. A’ja Wilson continues to be a two-way leader but Jackie Young has grown leaps and bounds as an all-around player. Kelsey Plum continues to be a star-level player whereas Chelsea Gray has been an incredible scorer and playmaker. Dearica Hamby has been a terrific rebounder but the bench has been an issue, more so due to the absence of Riquna Williams. Can the Aces translate this into a championship? They sure look like a title team.
