The WNBA is a star-driven league. A’ja Wilson and Liz Cambage for Las Vegas, Breanna Stewart for Seattle, Elena Delle Donne and Tina Charles for Washington, and Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner for Phoenix all top the odds to win MVP, and their teams are some of the early favorites to win it all. But it takes a complete squad to grind through the season and into playoffs. This group of players is less heralded, but could be the key to taking their teams to the next level. Here’s a look at the players who are indispensable for each team heading into the 2021 WNBA season.

The Seattle Storm were quiet in the early going this free agency but have made some big moves in recent days that ensure quite a different look for the roster in 2021.
Of the departures, Alysha Clark left via free agency to the Washington Mystics and Natasha Howard, whose rights were owned by the Storm through the Core Designation, was traded to the New York Liberty. The Storm also traded restricted free agent Sami Whitcomb in exchange for the rights to Stephanie Talbot, who is listed on the “Suspended/Contract Expired” list.
From its four transactions on Wednesday, Seattle acquired two players: Mikiah Herbert Harrigan (from the Minnesota Lynx) and Katie Lou Samuelson (from the Dallas Wings).
