Atlanta has slowly built out this team with a mix of veterans and young stars. Rhyne Howard is one of those young stars on the perimeter with veteran Cheyenne Parker controlling the paint leading the team from eight wins to 14 wins to 19 wins in the last three seasons.
Parker is coming off a career-best season where she put it all together, averaging 15.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 blocks per game as one of the most dynamic two-way players in the WNBA. With Atlanta adding veteran Tina Charles to the fold this Atlanta team will be formidable all season on the offensive end.
Los Angeles won both of its preseason games with Brink totaling 18 points, seven rebounds and two blocks on 7-of-11 shooting as a starter, while Jackson came off the bench for 12 points and 10 rebounds, shooting 5-for-15 from the field. All eyes will be on the rookies to kick-off the 2024 season.
