Seattle will return Breanna Stewart, Sue Bird and Jewell Loyd which comprised three of the top four scorers from a season ago. Alysha Clark, who averaged the second-most minutes, third-most points, and made 1st Team All-Defense honors for Seattle last year has moved on to the Washington Mystics.

Who’s The Biggest Threat?
Sports betting sites list the Mystics as the biggest challenger but many would argue that the Las Vegas Aces are the true top competitor for the title.
The Aces finished last season as the runner-up despite not being a healthy and complete team. This season, Las Vegas will get Liz Cambage and Kelsey Plum back after both missed the entirety of last season.
Bringing those two back to a roster that has A’Ja Wilson and Angel McCoughtry is a real threat on a nightly basis. The Aces also added Chelsea Gray to the roster, an all-star level guard. From top-to-bottom, there might not be a more talented team in the WNBA.
