I was at Unrivaled. I saw Chelsea Gray with my own eyes. That's enough for me to say the Aces is about to be good. Because Chelsea was healthy and rejuvenated in unrivaled play. And we could see how much, when she's healthy, she dominates the game and controls everything that's happening for everyone else. And a large part of why the Aces struggled a bit last season, Chelsea wasn't healthy.
Jackie Young, we're talking about somebody who's already an all star and Olympian, but I think she could like break out from like star role player on a on a stud team and maybe even be a superstar this year because she's like her body is strong. She plays at Rangers. She's great both ways with Kelsey Plum leaving. It kind of opens up a little bit of space for her.

And I think she's also just matured into like. mentally, emotionally, just really knows who she is in this league. And so I think this could be a big year for her as long as she's healthy. I mean, health is a reoccurring theme. And I covered the Warriors during the peak of their dynasty. And I remember Steve Kerr used to say, fresh blood matters.

And obviously, he would know from all the dynasties he's been a part of. There's an erosion that happens year after year after year with the same people. And so like the influx of, you know, Jewel Lloyd is good. Jewel had lost, publicly said she lost her confidence and joy in Seattle. And she looked like it. Her efficiency and shooting was horrible. And so now she can come here.

She looks like she's having more fun. There's less pressure on her. I think it's good. It's the same question every year for the Aces. It's the depth.

Yeah, I think the Storm last season were not consistent as a team. You didn't know what version of them you were going to get from game to game. I expect them to be a lot more consistent this year. I think the continuity that they do bring back is very important. And the new faces that they bring in are super veteran and very talented. I actually expect the Storm to be a strong team.

You know, even just think defensively, Moe. Ezzie Magbogor, Nneka Agumake, Scott can get intense in lockup. Gabby Williams, Alicia Clark. And don't forget the length and the rim protection of Malunga, the rookie. That's a defensive squad, right, Mo? That's a squad. That's a squad. And so I think, you know, you add that, plus they were in last place last season in shooting.

So you have Alicia Clark, you have Lexi Brown, who are some scorers who can space the Clark a little bit. Erica Wheeler comes in. She could play one or two. She's very buoyant. But this whole thing is going to be anchored around Skylar Diggins and Nneka Agumake, two of the greatest, very different types of leaders in women's basketball.
