Michael Voepel provides coverage of the WNBA, women’s college basketball, and other college sports for espnW and has been doing so since 1984.
Kevin Pelton is a senior writer for ESPN, formerly a consultant with the Indiana Pacers, and is known for developing WARP rating and the SCHOENE system.
On February 1, 2024, several significant WNBA free agency moves were made. Skylar Diggins-Smith signed with the Seattle Storm, Tina Charles with the Atlanta Dream, and Natasha Cloud with the Phoenix Mercury. The Los Angeles Sparks have also made noteworthy trades and roster moves.
Michael Voepel questions how Diggins-Smith’s addition to the Storm will impact their lineup, and how Charles’ veteran experience can contribute to the Dream. Kevin Pelton analyzes Seattle’s potential to become a dominant team with the addition of Diggins-Smith and speculation around signing DeWanna Bonner and Nneka Ogwumike.
Chiney Ogwumike mentioned she is considering Chicago, New York, and Seattle as options for Nneka Ogwumike. Voepel leans towards New York for Ogwumike, while Pelton believes the Storm and Sky may be more suitable options.
Both writers agree that the Las Vegas Aces have kept their spot as the top team in the league.
