ESPN ponders the exact question that I have seen on twitter for the last two weeks: is there parity or mediocrity in the WNBA? Because only three teams have winning records: Phoenix, Minnesota and Atlanta. Power rankings for the week:
1. Phoenix
2. Minnesota
3. Atlanta
4. Washington
5. San Antonio
6. Indiana
7. Los Angeles
8. New York
9. Seattle
10. Tulsa
11. Chicago
12. Connecticut
It’s definitely not mediocrity. This is probably the best-skilled WNBA we’ve ever seen, as showcased in the All-Star game.
It’s some serious parity, as all of that talent is spread out amongst the league’s 12 teams.
Players of the week:
….are Ivory Latta for the East and Maya Moore for the West.
