I agree on top 4 and bottom two. After that I think it is tough but I'll take Seattle for 5--I think Stewart could be that good. Connecticut seems a wildcard. If Banham, Tuck and Jones all pan-out (or at least two out of three), they could be excellent, but none are a sure thing.

It's too early. Most of you guys will be changing your minds on most things before the regular season starts.

This is kind of a Freaky Friday moment with jlight picking PHX over MIN and Michelle taking MIN over PHX. I'm so confused!

With MIN, I need to see what if anything they do about the post bench situation. They seem to be taking it too lightly, which is very concerning to me. I'm not super confident on falling back on the small ball approach on the whole. That might work well against a team like Dallas, but we only play them three times. We're basically toast if Fowles goes down for a stretch of time.

Crow will be serve to those who mistakenly discount the Mystics this upcoming 2016 WNBA Season.

[myrtle]

It's way too early, but still fun to predict:

1 Phoenix
2 Minnesota
and 1/2 could be either way - I think depending a lot on who stays healthy, then we get a 3-6 jumble that could jumble many different ways. Most every team has question marks.
3 Chicago
4 Los Angeles
5 New York
6 Connecticut
7 Washington
8 Indiana

9 Dallas
10 Seattle
11 Atlanta
12 San Antonio

1) Phoenix
2) Minnesota
3) Los Angeles
4) New York
5) Connecticut
6) Indiana
7) Chicago
Seattle
9) DC
10) Dallas
11) Atlanta
12) SAS

Regarding my team, I feel they could finish realistically anywhere between 4 and 7. Even in a league that's nowhere near the watered-down version of 2015, they'll defend. Having Boyd, Z and Wright as the likely starters means they've got two better wing defenders than Piph was last year. It also means along with Charles they'll have 4 people who are threats to score on the court at the same time. With Boyd on the court last year, NY averaged 78 points per 40 minutes. And Boyd worked extensively with Spoon in the offseason.

That said, they'd have trouble sustaining an injury at point or on the wing without Piph and Allen. That's a concern. And Boyd will still have some ups and downs as she learns I'm sure. But all in all I think the upside of Boyd and Stokes will help when you consider last year they were just learning the pro game. As long as health is not an issue, Boyd, Z and Charles should all be double-digit scorers. If that's the case, it's a good way to minimize the effect of Piph's loss.

What a great year to be a season-ticket holder though. Nearly every team filled needs and got players in the draft who fit their systems. Atlanta and SAS lack some depth but still have players who'll be worth a ticket price. And everyone else has multiple talents that will be well worth it to view in person. I absolutely can't wait for the season to start. Every game is going to be a challenge with few, if any, nights off.

Regarding LA, they're interesting because they have SO much talent. They got a combo/PG in Gray and they're not coming into the season the mess they were at the start of last year. If they finish any lower than third you really have to look at things out there. They have everything talent-wise you would think you need to win. They can play big, they can play medium and they can play small. We will see how well they defend but any year where they have Parker for full seasons they tend to defend better. And they have enormous lineup flexibility. And they were 11-5 with Parker last year.

Too early for me to say, as the undrafted free agents haven't signed yet, which also mean a few end of the bench trades, and then the random retirement from a vet that probably won't make a team.

But the countdown is on, and the new season will be here before we know it.

Plus it gives me a couple of more weeks to study the Olympic rosters and figure out who is showing up late from overseas play.

i see alot of people are high on Conn not just me.

Minnesota won 25 games in 2014 with mccarville at center and Brunson playing only 11 games.Fowles & Brunson are a beastly combo.

Why are people posting East and West - they don't matter anymore?

I think the top 2 are pretty obvious, as are the bottom 2 but I'm not going to name names. Most of the rest could end up anywhere between 3 and 10. Injuries will matter more than anything. One nice thing about this season is there seems to be no tank
worthy player out there for next year's draft so teams will probably try to win games and fans probably won't be making tanking accusations as much.

STILL?! Some of you still predicting the Wings out of the playoffs this season despite the strides they made last season, Diggins back, more team experience and chemistry? Oh well, I guess we will see.
