There are simply three weeks left within the WNBA common season, so it’s time to foretell who will (and may) make the the 2024 All-WNBA, an honor bestowed on the most effective gamers within the league on the conclusion of the season. The ten-person workforce is made yup of two position-less five-woman lineups — a primary and second workforce.

As all the time, there are greater than 10 gamers worthy of this designation this season, and the selection to depart some gamers off this listing is a tough one. Some gamers are having nice particular person seasons — Dearica Hamby involves thoughts — however their workforce’s struggles retains them off the listing. Others have put up large scoring numbers, however have executed so inefficiency — Arike Ogunbowale and Jewell Loyd are prime examples. Then there are gamers who’ve been nice however simply barely missed the mark — Jonquel Jones headlines this listing. Six gamers on the 2024 listing are returners from final 12 months’s All-WNBA Crew.

With that disclaimer, listed here are my predictions for the 2024 All-WNBA Crew:

All-WNBA First Crew

Stats: 26.6 factors (51.2 FG%), 11.9 rebounds, 2.7 blocks, 2 steals, 2.3 assists, 1.4 turnovers

Crew file: 25-5

Breanna Stewart has struggled together with her exterior shot this season — she’s capturing simply 25.6% from downtown in 2024 — however has in any other case been her ordinary dominant self.

Thomas has really been extra environment friendly this season, whereas persevering with to anchor the Solar’s protection and be the workforce’s main playmaker, and the end result has been that the Solar have been the WNBA’s second-best workforce this 12 months.

Sabrina Ionescu, New York Liberty

This fifth spot might have gone to a few completely different gamers, and final 12 months, it was the Wing’s Satou Sabally who earned the honors. However Sabrina Ionescu has had probably the most well-rounded season of her profession, and has taken a considerable leap as a three-level scorer since final season. At many factors this 12 months, Ionescu has been the most effective participant on the most effective workforce within the league, and because the Seventh-leading scorer within the WNBA, she makes a powerful case.

All-WNBA Second Crew

Kahleah Copper, Phoenix Mercury

Stats: 22.9 factors (44.6 FG%), 4.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.8 steals, 2.9 turnovers
Crew file: 16-14

Contemplating all of the expertise on the workforce, the Mercury have had a disappointing season and doubtless shouldn’t be hovering round .500 on the 12 months. However, Copper has been the league’s second-leading scorer all season and has been all the pieces Phoenix hoped she’d be once they acquired her within the offseason.

Brittney Griner, Phoenix Mercury

Because the fifth-best workforce within the league, the Storm in all probability deserve an All-WNBA spot. Whereas Jewell Loyd’s been the workforce’s main scorer at 20.3 factors per sport, her inefficiency (36.5% FG) retains her off this listing. Nneka Ogwumike is likely to be one the of probably the most underrated participant within the WNBA — capturing 51.9% from the sector, and 43.1% from three, she’s one of the vital environment friendly quantity scorers within the league.
