Seattle Storm (+1000)

Fans in Seattle enjoyed many years (and two championships) with the duo of Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson leading the charge. Now, with Bird entering her 15th season, the future has arrived in the form of Breanna Stewart and Jewell Loyd. The team still has some things to figure out however, as they were the second-worst rebounding team in the league last season, despite Stewart hauling in the most defensive rebounds by a single player in a single season in WNBA history. They also had the second highest turnover percentage in the league. That said, there were several positives as well. They gave up the third fewest points per game (80.2) and opponents offensive rating against them was the fourth lowest in the league. This team seems on the brink.
