Here's where I'd put them at...
1) Aces -8' Sky 162
2) Lynx -9 Dream 157
The Aces have not been the powerhouse I envisioned....Plum has been a bottom point guard....she can't pass or shoot, this should be her last season as a starting point guard in the WNBA. Liz is about half the player she was last year for Dallas, I am surprised that Bill L. can't get this team to function in the half court. It seems to be a real problem for the Aces to pass the ball into the post, and then we it goes in there, they can't seem to generate any points. Asia Wilson has done well in a difficult situation playing facing the basket a lot for probably the first time in her life. They'd be better having Liz at the three point line on occasion with Asia posted up, as Cambage can hit three pointers which Plum evidently can't. I'd put Liz or Asia playing with the second team players and divide Asia and Liz more often, so one of them was on the bench while the other one is scoring.
DeShields can be a superstar for the Sky one day, she's a Jewell Lloyd type, only better...sometimes it seems like the issue for the Sky is there is only one basketball and between DeShields, Vandersloot and Quigley, one or more aren't getting enough shots. The bigs for Chicago miss sooo many open layups and post shots and they shoot a ton of them. Cheyenne Parker misses 4 or more 3 foot shots every game. Liz would score 40/game is Vandersloot was her pointguard, but it might be time for Vandersloot to ignore throwing the ball into open post players as the Sky get no value for money doing that.
Would anyone here trade Liz or Wilson for Vanderloot, Deshields and a number 1 pick? I would, because I don't think Liz and Wilson can play together, the Aces would get a very good point guard and a very young DeShields with a lot of upside and the Sky get a superstar big.
Lean Sky at >=+8'
Lynx, I haven't watched much, they are young and learning how to win and let one get away from them in Dallas and the savvy Agler on the weekend. Sheryl would have screamed at them on the flight home and they'll have a chance to destroy a Dream team that has totally fallen off a cliff this season.
What on earth is going on in Hayes' world? She looked like a top 5 player last year and she is not even an average WNBA starter this season. She is hurting her team and it might be a full season before she gets her act together.
The Dream have been the worst team in the league by a mile so far.
Lean Lynx at -9 or less.
