The WNBA has experienced a surge in popularity this summer, with increased coverage from major networks nationwide. This heightened attention has brought about a lot of noise, much of it surrounding Caitlin Clark, the top overall pick from Iowa. While there has been talk about other rookies like Cameron Brink and Angel Reese, it is the veteran-led teams that are currently dominating the standings and capturing the audience's attention.

The Connecticut Sun have joined the ranks of teams starting the season 9-0, with Alyssa Thomas and DeWanna Bonner leading the charge in the East. The New York Liberty, featuring Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones, remain strong contenders after their Finals run last year. In the West, Napheesa Collier is putting up impressive numbers for the Minnesota Lynx, closely followed by the back-to-back champions, the Las Vegas Aces.

Despite the Aces' limited playing time this season, A'ja Wilson showcased her dominance in a recent game against the Dallas Wings. Wilson made history by achieving 35 points, 10 rebounds, and five steals in a single game, displaying her exceptional skills and leadership on the court. Her season averages of 27.9 points, 12.4 rebounds, 2.6 blocks, and 2.0 steals per game highlight her impact on the team's success.

While the Aces are not without their challenges, missing the presence of Chelsea Gray, they continue to showcase their exceptional talent and determination. Wilson's consistent performance, coupled with the contributions of players like Jackie Young and Kelsey Plum, sets the Aces apart as a formidable force in the league. Wilson's all-around game and leadership make her a standout player in the WNBA, elevating the Aces to new heights and captivating audiences with their impressive displays on the court.
