WNBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Dream’s woes deepen

The Dream has had a much stronger defense compared to last season and they have become an effective squad on the non-glamourous end. However, their woes on the “glamourous”(read offensive) end have only deepened through the season. Tiffany Hayes has injected life into the offensive end but that hasn’t been enough.

Early in the season, the combination of Howard-Wallace-Wheeler-Parker-Coffey was giving fierce resistance to the opponents but a host of injuries derailed the rotations and the team lost grip over the season, There is no doubt that the Dream is in the need of a renaissance, and need better shot-selection.

The Wings need a defensive boost

The Wings were impressive to begin the season and one of the major reasons for that was the incredible offensive starts by Marina Mabrey and Isabelle Harrison. The Wings have a wealth of shooting, spearheaded by Arike Ogunbowale, but the effort has fallen short from the side of Harrison and Mabrey lately, with Harrison’s role being shifted constantly.

The trouble for the Wings has been the inside defense, while the inside offense has improved since the inclusion of Teaira McCowan in the starting lineup. Allisha Gray has done her bit but overall, the Wings will really need to better the shot-selection and do a better job on the defensive end.
