14. Angel McCoughtry, Atlanta Dream

This may be low, possibly very low. McCoughtry, 31, is back after taking a WNBA season off for rest and recovery, and even when she was playing 12-month seasons, McCoughtry could carry teams deep into the playoffs. But the question remains just how the ball-dominant McCoughtry fits in Nicki Collen’s offense, whether she can blend in with a number of talented young scorers like Tiffany Hayes, Brittney Sykes and Elizabeth Williams up front, how she can connect with all-star distributor Layshia Clarendon, and how much she can continue to impact the game defensively, a calling card of her 20s. If the answers to all of these are positive, and they may be, McCoughtry is obviously a top-10 player.
