Kaela Davis, Dallas Wings: Providing solid offense off the bench, while ranking 18th in the league in defensive points per possession, guarding a variety of guards and wings all season.

Saniya Chong, Dallas Wings: The third of five Wings rookies to make this list, Chong has proven to be a valuable rotation member, backing up Skylar Diggins-Smith and managing games.

Emma Cannon, Phoenix Mercury: The clear rookie leader in rebounding percentage (14.5) and second among rookies in true shooting percentage (53.3%), Cannon has provided vital frontcourt production for the Mercury this year.
