WNBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Young blood in full flow for Atlanta, Sky are well-balanced

The Dream has built an elite defensive unit this season and rookie Howard has impacted that end formidably. They are number one in terms of defensive rating (92.2) and although they gave up 96 against Aces, they limited teams to below 80 during most games. Howard is also an incredible long-range shooter, whereas Kirsty Wallace, another rookie is no less intriguing with her scoring prowess.

McDonald brings terrific scoring off the bench and the guard rotation with her along with Howard, Wallace, and Wheeler has a lot of potential. Cheyyene Parker has been an eliter rebounder and defense whereas Monique Billings poses a great threat off the bench.

The Sky is in the middle of most defensive and offensive metrics. There is one area where they are on the top though and that is the assists per game with 22 a game. This is not a surprise considering the show is run by Courtney Vandersloot whereas Candace Parker also keeps the ball moving. Therefore, Sky is able to extract quality possessions on the offensive end. Talking about Candace, her scoring has diminished over the last few seasons but her playmaking, rebounding, and defense remain elite.

Emma Messeman is great with her shot-selection whereas Copper and Quigley provide multidimensional attacks. The Guard duo of Rebekah Gardner and Dana Evans have been solid with Gardner being a serviceable two-way player. The Sky look primed to make a deep Playoffs run.
