Training camps opened for all 12 WNBA teams on Sunday, and with that a new season is officially underway. The next few weeks are one of the most important stretches of the calendar, as teams make their final cuts and preparations for another long and exciting summer of basketball.
As teams hit the practice court for the first time, here’s a look at one big question facing each team this season.
Atlanta Dream
Can the new additions juice the offense?
The Dream took another step forward in their rebuild last season by making the playoffs for the first time since 2018. They did so behind their defense, and were ultimately swept in the first round because they could not score with any sort of consistency. Their 99.7 offensive rating for the season ranked ninth in the league and was the worst of any playoff team.
It was little surprise, then, that their offseason moves focused on that side of the ball. They got a top-tier point guard in Jordin Canada, brought Tina Charles out of retirement and took a swing on Aerial Powers. That trio should give them extra juice, but how much remains to be seen. Their biggest concern remains their poor 3-point shooting, which they didn’t really address.
