2. Atlanta Dream

Rhyne Howard wasted no time establishing herself in the WNBA. Vandersloot could share the backcourt with Howard and take over primary playmaking duties. Next to Sloot, Howard could realistically break the 20-point-per-game barrier and be an undeniably elite scorer in the league.

The Dream were dead last in assists last season yet had a top-four 3-point percentage. Vandersloot is an elite enough playmaker to bump Atlanta to the most efficient 3-point shooting team in the W while also assisting in forming an identity with the Dream.

Something’s building in The A and Sloot could be the guiding force that nudges this young team into the playoffs. It would also show the Dream’s young core that the organization meant business, believing in what they have built and preparing for the next step.
