Indiana Fever:

A'ja Wilson- She's still one of the leagues premier players. Wilson is fifth in the WNBA in scoring at 20.8 pts game, second in rebounding at 10.8 a game and leads the league in blocks with 2.3 per game.

Los Angeles Sparks

While not currently on rosters, Laeticia Amihere, Brea Hall, Kiki Herbert-Harrigan, Destinni Henderson and Victaria Saxton could all pop up on rosters as the season takes its toll.
