Many of the WNBA’s biggest stars will battle over the next two months in Unrivaled’s inaugural season of 3-on-3 basketball. But before the likes of former MVP Breanna Stewart, fellow 2024 All-WNBA first-team picks Napheesa Collier and Alyssa Thomas, as well as Brittney Griner and Sabrina Ionescu help tip off the new league Friday, let’s break down the rosters of the six teams vying to bring home the first championship on March 17.
Since we’ve never seen games played using Unrivaled’s rules, which include an 18-second shot clock and a target score, among other notable changes from the WNBA, it’s impossible to say exactly how things will play out. Still, we can look at the talent on each roster using my projections for how these players will perform in the WNBA during the upcoming 2025 campaign.
I’ve used those projections, based on production over the past three WNBA seasons, to rank all six teams in offensive and defensive rating as well as how often we could expect them to win based on those ratings. Let’s take a look, starting with one team that ranks well ahead of the rest.
