I hope so! Very fun collection of players

​​@@HunterCruse14 I like your list. I think the Mercury should be at 8 though because of their age and those Cunningham and Taurasi injury issues. I think the Fever will have 20 wins and i have the sky higher than the Mercury because of Mabrey, Williams Cardoso and Reese. The Washington Mystics are another great team they have studs in Shakira Austin, Ariel Atkins and Sykes i have them at 7. The lynx haven't been the same since Moore, Brunson and Augustus Left Lynx for me are a 10. you are spot on correct on everything you said about the Sparks even Sparks are young though with Brink, Jackson and McDonlad they are a 12. Chicago should be a 6 honestly even though they lost Copper. EDIT: I forgot to mention that the Sun is a 11 for me. Hayes retired and Brionna Jones still has to ease herself into game shape Carrington can be inconsistent at times also. I think ROTY will be Clark and the runner up will be Brink even though runner up should be Cardoso because she will be on a team who will have a better win-loss record imo.

i feel the same way i didn't notice how many gems they had picked up until i took a deep look at their roster

Appreciate the kind works, Dustin! If you have any questions on the W don't hesitate to ask!

Fair, thanks for watching! Minnesota probably makes me look dumb

Phoenix time is 8up, they need a rebuild.

You’re a hater and wrong and don’t know what you’re talking about.

Nah, With Cooper and Cloud coming in, Phoenix has definitely upgraded

Casual

They didn’t just lose a few “pieces”, they traded away by far their best player. Also, it’s not hating on Angel Reese to question how effective she’ll be in the league. Lastly, you calling him “moronic” for saying Izzy can’t shoot is ridiculous considering she hasn’t scored at all from the outside in her WNBA career. The team clearly has a lack of shooting and scorers in general and will be near the bottom of the league. Maybe they’ll be better than the Sparks, but I wouldn’t even count on that.

That's certainly understandable. Kah was definitely their best player. But she get them 18 wins by herself. Saying no one on the roster can shoot is a bad take "imo" and I see them as at least a 7 seed. Mystics Sparks even the Dream I feel are in just as bad if not worse shape

Last year is completely irrelevant they have a significant new team and coach

They lost talented players all off-season and have just begun a rebuild. 12 is accurate.

@@venusrose9890 It's not

All of last season? Idk what happened to her after she got really hot at the end of 2022, but her play fell off a fucking cliff last year, and it isn't like the Lynx were so loaded with talent last year that she couldn't have been impactful.

@@venusrose9890 her game did not fall off. Reeves had her benched despite her being one of the key reasons they were almost a playoff team the year prior, and whenever she did put Powers in, she would get quick buckets off the bench easily.

Lies you tell. Y’all don’t know what y’all talking about.

Not even a shout out to Napheesa who is a top 10 maybe top5 player. She is a star!

I doubt it. Laney and JJ already have big roles.

I feel the same way about the Storm. They're going to be fun to watch. As for the Liberty, they will definitely live or die by their chemistry but now that they've had some time together, I think things might start clicking.

No doubt! Thanks for watching

I like this

I'll take that bet

Sorry for the confusion. 8th

Lets 3-peat!!! ❤❤❤❤

Awesome! The league is a blast. If you have any questions about players/teams/strategy whatever let me know!

I really like Kamilla and Angel

@@HunterCruse14 all you did was say no one on the team can shoot.

@@voguehaven5154 Mabrey and Maxwell only true perimeter shooters they have. 3pt% Evans 29.4 Mabrey 39.0 Allen 20.6 Carter 20.6 % at LA DeShields 23.6% at Phx Maxwell 44% at Zaga They have 2 shooters and a bunch of mid range and layup players. Better get a lot of rebounds

​@@voguehaven5154He ain't wrong

For sure! See my pinned comment

Aw stop it with Parker she could barely stay on the floor as a starter last year she just holding up a roster spot they need to re sign ing her

Candace just announced she is retiring

Candace Parker has retired.

Candace retired hon!

Thanks for watching!

Harrison shot 31% on 15-19 ft. jumpers with Dallas in 2022

Dude stop it with Parker she could barely stay on the floor as a starter last year shes just holding up a roster spot

​@@anthonytaylor7928 speaking of she officially retired. Great opportunity for kate to make the final roster

Oh for sure, but as far as the starting lineup (Clark/Mitchell likely play 30+ min) -- it's not great

Fair ranking!

Thanks for the kind words! She should be back by the start of the season. She got cleared for workouts about a month ago. And as far as new coaches -- only Phoenix and Chicago

Oh yeah, good call, she’s back - yes. I meant to add her alongside Gustafson

Welp she retired now

No, they're not, easily? They will compete for a playoff spot, but it's not all like that

They will be. Y’all say some stupid stuff.

I feel like they're a fringe top 5 team this season.

Yeah and he has them in tier 3/4 which is as high as 4th. And 3rd? You see them being higher than LV NY and SEA?

offense NEVER beats defense in the playoffs lol what you smoking

@christophergooding9820 If they do, I need some of what they smoking on

Appreciate it!

@@HunterCruse14 👍

That would be the smart move. Can you imagine that squad with PB and R. Jackson?! Buckets!

@@Insertwittypunchlinehere midrange buckets and that's about it

Paige most likely will be drafted to Golden State they team will join next season

Zia cooke getting cut?

Aw stop it with Candice Parker she's just holding up a roster spot

I guess you, unintentionally, foreshadowed Candace Parker cuz she announced her retirement today...sob!

Sadly :(

Completely fair! That fourth spot is tough

You'll see

Atlanta at 12 is you smoking rocks?

@@rmathis268 Nah. Almost every team improved in the offseason while I think Atlanta just kind of stayed the same. They could finish top 8 or they could finish 12... Same way I feel about LA with their youth and losing Nneka. They could surprise everyone or could sit at the bottom.

@tennparker1 So Jordin Canada isn't an upgrade at PG than what they had, Tina Charles doesn't give them added help rebounding? Aerial Powers isn't a nice depth off the bench? A now healthy Coffey is back, Haley Jones second season improvements, and this is from a roster that made the playoffs last year. Atlanta improved, and you said everyone else? Sorry, but the Sky is worse, Washington is worse. LA is worse or the same. Dallas is the same, Minnesota is marginally better, maybe. I just don't see what you see

@@rmathis268 I said the other ten teams, meaning LA and Atlanta are, IN MY OPINION, the teams that did not improve their rosters. Although, LA killed it in the draft, something Atlanta did not do. Canada is a marginal upgrade from Robinson, Charles is at the end of her career and is a solid role player and Powers is hit or miss with her effectiveness and consistency. Sky got better with all they added and the return of Harrison. They have way more depth too. Dallas losing Satou hurts for now but I think adding Sheldon and Brown is exactly was they needed for their guard depth, assuming both make the team. They are both solid in their preseason game so far. I'm just not that impressed with Atlanta, sorry. I will amend that Washington may have lost more than what they gained but Edwards is going to be a great rookie for them and I believe their coaching is a hell of a lot better in DC.

@@tennparker1 LA had to kill it in the draft, Atlanta didn't have to. Canada is a bit more of an upgrade than Robinson in my opinion. Charles is a wildcard, if she is any good then that emphatically changes the outlook. Also this is year 2 of the chemistry with Gray and Howard, that is a luxury. Powers is actually on a team that has a good role carved out for her. Not to mention Chyeene Parker can slot to her natural power forward position. I think the Dream can finish as high as 3rd or 4th at best and at worst 8th or 9th

It for sure can, that’s why I’ve got them in the playoffs

Yea I’d say Fever are a top 4 team actually. All offense, run and gun team. 3 shooters and an all star finisher in the post.

@@TaiyouArtno they aren’t lmao. Be serious

@@TaiyouArt Run and gun? Did you even watch the Fever play last year, lol? Ranked among the lowest when it came to amount of possessions per game.

@@JaeRell That was before Clark was on the team

Mhm Reese was actually my favorite collegiate prospect in the 2024 draft

​@@HunterCruse14Your absolutely spot on about the Sky, I'll say it for you

Not many rookies will be 15-20+ minute-getters besides Clark, Brink, Cardoso, Reese, Sheldon, Edwards, maybe Mühl, maybe Osborne

@@HunterCruse14 oh

And you do?

Well, she shoots for sure, but it doesn’t often go in is the thing - at least from 3, she’s dynamic as a pull-up mid-range shooter

@@HunterCruse14 Yeah, that's more what I was referring to. I wouldn't consider her a 3 point threat, but her ability in the middle isn't insignificant.
