Atlanta at Connecticut

The Connecticut Sun have been quietly assembling a taleneted young team. They have not done a whole lot of winning in recent years, but the time may have come for this team. There is a lot of familiarity as Alyssa Thomas, April draftee Brionna Jones, and reserve forward Lynetta Kizer were teammates with Thomas in College Park. The Sun did take a bad blow when Chiney Ogwumike was lost for the entire season already. The Atlanta Dream's season can be summed up in simple terms - Angel McCoughtry is taking the season off. Atlanta did not have good ball movement last year, and was out-assisted by 4.5 per game, and that was with McCoughtry, so they will struggle without her. The Sun's time has come, so make the play on Connecticut.
