The new WNBA season is just a few weeks old, but it’s already time to start thinking about who deserves a spot in the 2023 All-Star Game. Fan voting for the annual event is now open, and will run through 11:59 p.m. on June 21, ahead of All-Star Weekend from July 14-15.
Under the current format, All-Star starters are determined by a combination of fan, media and player voting. Fan tallies are given a 50% weight, while the media and player picks each receive a 25% weight. Fans can vote once per day on WNBA.com or the WNBA app, while select media members and players will have one singular ballot. Each ballot consists of six frontcourt players and four backcourt players, withoug regard to conference affiliation.
While we are not even a quarter of the way through the season yet — the Phoenix Mercury have still ony played four games — here’s a look at some extremely early projections for the 10 All-Star starters. We won’t go super in-depth at this point, because a lot will likely change over the next two weeks, but it’s fun to see who’s off to a great start.
Backcourt
- Allisha Gray, Atlanta Dream
- Chelsea Gray, Las Vegas Aces
- Jewell Loyd, Seattle Storm
- Jackie Young, Las Vegas Aces
We’ll start in the backcourt…
