They have Hodges, who's been starting and Williams, who holds the league scoring record. Sims has had a very slow start so far this season.
They didn't look like a good rebounding team Friday night.
Close only counts in horseshoes...
And again, see my comment about Williams. She may have the scoring record, but she is a "Tan White player," in that she is a scoring combo guard off the bench who is best role is/only role should be off the bench. Williams, for her career, is a 37 precent shooter overall. Last year, she shot 39.7 percent from the floor, but if you take away her 51 point game, she shot 37 percent from the floor.
As for your rebounding assertion, you based it on one game. As I noted earlier, four losses (which would not include Friday's game against Phoenix), were by a total of ten points. You cannot use one game to extrapolate rebounding for the entire season, in the same way you cannot use Williams's one game as indicia of starting ability and not having a need at shooting guard.
As for Hodges, she has been in the league for 11 years. She is not the future; she is barely the present. For her career, she averages 6.0 ppg.
Sims is a potential superstar whom you are judging after five games...in the same way many judged Diggins based on her first year. Micro thinking vs. maco thinking; putting one game or a short sample size together to make your point ignores entire seasons, careers, etc., to say nothing of "potential/upside," which Sims has...and plenty of it.
As for Sims's slow start, by the way, she is only shooting 37.5 percent from the floor. But she is averaging 8.4 points, is shooting 46.2 percent from three (13th in the WNBA), and contributes 3.8 assists (13th in the WNBA) and 1.40 steals (20th in the WNBA) per game. And it is only five games, but if you wanted to extrapolate, neither Hodges nor Williams have ever come close to shooting 46.2 percent from three or notching 3.8 assists per game.
