Dream vs Wings Preview
The Atlanta Dream and Dallas Wings enter the 2021 season hoping to improve as highly touted rookies from both teams make their debuts.
Rhyne Howard, the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft, and second-round pick Naz Hillmon make their Dream debuts. Wings first-round pick Veronica Burton also makes her debut.
“I definitely think I’m going to have something to prove,” Howard said via ESPN’s Alexa Philippou. “A lot of people say that I will be a dud or that the W will humiliate me and things like that. I’m going to keep working hard and see what happens, believe in myself.”
Howard came to Kentucky as a highly touted recruit and averaged 20.1 points and 6.9 rebounds for the Wildcats in her career. She helped the Wildcats produce four winning seasons and two NCAA tournament appearances.
Now, he’s looking to help the Dream turn things around after three losing seasons since 2019. The Dream posted 23 wins in that three-year span.
Howard won’t do it alone. Hillmon comes in as “the steal of the draft” in the eyes of head coach Tanisha Wright.
“We’ve said this all along that we were so excited about Naz,” Wright told the media via Andrew Kahn of MLive.com. “We think she was the draft pick to be honest with you. We said it openly. We still agree with that.”
Atlanta also returns with Monique Billings, Cheyenne Parker, Tiffany Hayes and Aari McDonald. The Dream also added Nia Coffey and Erica Wheeler in free agency.
Parker noticeably returns to the court after having a baby in 2021. She played in 13 games last season posting 10.2 points and 4.5 rebounds per game before retiring.
Wheeler and Coffey bring more depth to the Dream. Wheeler posted 13.6 points and 4.8 assists last season for the Los Angeles Sparks. Coffey put up 8.3 points and 3.8 rebounds a night for the Sparks in 2021.
In Dallas, Burton will look to help a Wings team that has finished under .500 the past six seasons but made the playoffs at least three of those years. The Wings will quickly benefit from her on the defensive end.
“She’s a game changer [defensively]ESPN women’s basketball analyst LaChina Robinson said via Greg Levinsky of the Boston Globe.
Dallas returns to its backcourt with Allisha Gray, Arik Ogunbowale and Marina Mabrey. The Wings added depth to the frontcourt with Teaira McCowan to pair with Charli Collier.
McCowan averaged 11.3 points and 9.6 rebounds last season for the Indiana Fever. Dallas will have to wait for McCowan and Satou Sabally to hit the court as they complete their basketball seasons in Turkey.
