Message: [QUOTE="MSSportsGuy, post: 3621661, member: 6485"] I would be shocked if NYC or Atlanta weren't in the bottom 4 of the league given their rosters. My thought are totally dependent on these rosters being 100% healthy and in the shape they are at the moment: Tier 1 Seattle Las Vegas Los Angeles These seem to be the best bets to finish towards the top of the league standings. Seattle could have in place all the pieces which won them a title in 2018 and players who adjusted to life without Stewart last year. No Cambage may be addition by subtraction but it leaves little room for error down low. If Angel can put up good numbers they will be a threat. LA will miss Chiney for depth but Gray, Nneka, Parker are three great ones they just need more offense outside. Tier 2 Chicago Phoenix Connecticut Washington Chicago should be better if Stevens comes back healthy and Hebard performs well. Sloot, Quigley and Deshields are legit. Phoenix doesn't have much outside of their own big 3 but I never bet against Taurasi. If she still has gas in the tank they are a tough loss. The two finalists, Connecticut and Washington have a lot of gaps to fill but both are well coached and still have some firepower. They likely won't make the finals again but I predict both will be in the playoffs. Tier 4 Minnesota Dallas Indiana These three all have the potential to make the playoffs if their youth can deliver. All have exciting young pieces and rosters with some gaps that make it tough to give them an edge over some of the more experienced and complete teams. Tier 5 Atlanta New York Both teams will need to get young players experience this season and look at where they need to fill in holes for the next draft class and free agent period. These are strictly my thoughs and gosh knows I've been wrong plenty of times. Also there will certainly be positive Covid cases and injuries that impact the order of finish. [/QUOTE]
