The Connecticut Sun posted three 20-win seasons in a row before going 10-12 in 2020, but even then they made it to the WNBA Semifinals. They have had a lot of success lately, but will be tested this year without one of their star players in Alyssa Thomas, who is out with a torn Achilles.
Picks: 20, 21, 30
Needs: true 2 and/or someone with similar skills to Alyssa Thomas
The Sun have six players signed to training camp contracts and just seven under contract so all three of their picks could potentially compete in camp. When you look at their core, you see the versatility of DeWanna Bonner and Jonquel Jones, who can both play 3 through 5. Then there’s Brionna Jones as a 4-5 and two point guards in Jasmine Thomas and Briann January. Their sixth and final lock (with Alyssa Thomas injured) in Kaila Charles actually could fit what they may be looking for in the draft: a 2-3.
