Cynthia Cooper, Houston Comets
Cynthia Cooper, the most clutch player in the young history of the league is making a Jordanesque return! Can she help Swoopes and Thompson regain Houston's glory atop the WNBA???

Teresa Edwards, Minnesota Lynx
Teresa Edwards, the most decorated player in USA basketball history, participated in a record five Olympic Games, capturing four gold medals! She will bring a veteran presence and the true point guard skills the Minnesota Lynx have been missing.

Natalie Williams, Indiana Fever
One of the best power forwards the game has seen, Natalie Williams is reunited with Olympic coach Nell Fortner in Indiana. The tandem of Catchings and Williams could present nightmares for Eastern Conference foes.

Chamique Holdsclaw, Washington Mystics
Chamique Holdsclaw saw action in only 20 games last season but had the most productive year of her career, leading the league in scoring and rebounding. Can she stay healthy and put the Mystics atop the Eastern Conference standings?

Yolanda Griffith, Sacramento Monarchs
Yolanda Griffith missed 15 games due to injury last season and her absence was glaring. The one time MVP should help give Sacramento a fighting chance in the brutal West.

Tamika Catchings, Indiana Fever
Tamika Catchings: No two players in the league play harder than Catch and the aforementioned Griffith. Last season's Rookie of the Year now has an inside presence in Williams that will make it harder for teams to come with multiple defenders. The thought of Catchings playing one on one with any defender in the league is truly intriquing.

Lisa Leslie, Los Angeles Sparks
Lisa Leslie, the reigning Finals MVP and leader of the back to back champion Sparks, brought an outside game to her polished post game last season. What has she added this year??

LaToya Thomas, Cleveland Rockers
LaToya Thomas, the number one selection in this year's draft, brings an impressive array of offensive skills to the table. Playing collegiately at Mississippi State in the tough SEC, LaToya led the league in scoring in each of her four seasons, a feat no other player had ever achieved. Can't wait to see what she does at this level.

Sue Bird, Seattle Storm
Sue Bird: This All-WNBA First Team performer, alongside Lauren Jackson, led Seattle to their first playoff appearance in just her rookie campaign. These two players form one the most explosive duos in the league.

Jung Sun-Min, Seattle Storm
Jung Sun-Min: Coach Anne Donovan selected the Korean with the number eight pick in this year's draft, surprising many. Donovan's selection of Tammy Sutton-Brown in last years draft looked like pure genius. How will this pick turn out???
