GRADE: A

The Mercury built a solid team around K.Copper this off-season. Even though they lost an aging B.Griner, they added the top 2 free agents on the market. First, Alyssa Thomas and then Sabally.

Proving themselves to be a top 3 team in this league. Now that Copper is fully healthy and they were able to add D.Bonner, they'll be a dangerous playoff team.  

GRADE: A

The Wings have a bright future ahead, largely in part of being gifted Paige Bueckers. On top of it, they'll also have the #1 draft pick again. Meaning that they can land a player like 6'7 Lauren Betts out of UCLA.

GRADE: B-

The Sun went from being perennial contenders to rebuilding in a matter of about 2 seconds. Thomas, Bonner, and Carrington all gone. Connecticut is in full rebuild mode, they're even selling the team. However, they did an excellent job in the 2025 Draft, picking up both Aneesah Morrow and Saniya Rivers. Morrow is an excellent rebounder, a solid scorer, and a hustle player. I think she can average 15 points and 10 rebounds one day. The Sun brought her along slowly this year, keeping her minutes low.

GRADE: B+

Added Kelsie Plum in free agency but gave away their 2025 and 2026 1st round pick in the process this year. Plum probably wanted a bigger role and an LA lifestyle.

The Sparks had a promising season, especially when Rickea Jackson found her groove. Now with Cameron Brink working her way back into shape, the Sparks have a solid nucleus of players to build around.

GRADE: B+

Added some solid veterans to the roster, all will be excellent role players around CC. They've added some veterans with a winning pedigree, and should be a respectable playoff team this upcoming season.

Unfortunately, the Fever were hit with the injury bug this year. They lost all 3 of their point guards and had to start calling in free agents. What started as a promising year, ended in disappointment. There is still much hope for the future though as Caitlin Clark returns next year at 100%.

GRADE: B

Was able to swap Kelsie Plum, who was leaving anyway, for Jewell Loyd. I consider this somewhat of an upgrade, she's not as much of a defensive liability as Plum is. 

After a rough start to the season, the Aces finally figured things out. They went on a 15-game win streak to finish the season. They now look like a dangerous playoff team again, ready to make a playoff push.

GRADE: B+

After losing Jewell Loyd this off-season, the Storm looked good this year. They draft a 19 year old 6'6 Center with that draft pick, Dominique Malonga. She's been doing great this year in her development, and the other veterans have been consistent all year long.+

GRADE: B+

The Dream signed B.Griner this off-season, plugging her in the middle of a talented roster.

Her presence really boosted the perfomance of everyone else. Rhyne Howard was already a star, but blossomed even more. Allisha Gray also had one of her best seasons. The Dream are looking to make some noise in the playoffs.

GRADE: A+

Minnesota has kept it quiet for the most part, and that's a good sign. They competed for a title last season and were close to capturing a title. That year of growth and experience should help.

The Lynx have looked like the best team this season. Everyone is playing their role perfectly and the team chmistry is at an all-time high. On top of it, they'll also have a top 3 pick in the upcoming WNBA Draft.

GRADE: B+

GRADE: C-

They Sky foolishly gave up the #3 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft. They instead traded that for a mid-player. They were bailed out by the sudden rebuilding of the Connecticut Sun, and will receive the Sun's top 3 draft pick in the upcoming draft.

GRADE: A+

The Mystics are in full rebuild mode. After taking Aliyah Edwards last season, they had the #3, 4, and 6 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. Kiki Iriafen played so well that they were able to trade Aliyah Edwards for more draft picks. Sonia Citron also had a very good rookie season. Georgia Amoore was hurt for the year with an ACL, but the shifty point guard will be returning next season. It's safe to say that the Mystics are headed in the right direction.

GRADE: A+

The Valkyries completely maxed out their talent this season. They looked like a team that had been playing together for years, and is the first expansion team in the league to make the playoffs in their first season in the league.
