1. Las Vegas Aces: A’ja Wilson, 6/5 F/C South Carolina

Simply put, Wilson is everything Las Vegas needs. She’s a rim protector, so she can play the 5 in faster-paced lineups alongside the trio of guards, Kelsey Plum, Moriah Jefferson and Kayla McBride. She can also stretch the floor, shooting threes this year with an even more improved faceup game, if the Aces want to utilize Kayla Alexander or a free agent five to be named soon. Wilson is ready to start in the league on day one, and she has a good chance to be a star right away.
