About the Sun
The Sun dominated the Eastern Conference last season, with a WNBA-best 26-6 record that was 10 games ahead of the second place Chicago Sky in the East. They had both the best home record (15-1) and the second-best road record (11-5) in the league, and finished the season on a 14-game winning streak.
They came up short in the playoffs, though, losing 3-1 in the semifinals to the eventual champion Sky. The Sun return a stacked lineup, led by reigning WNBA MVP Jonquel Jones and one of the best front lines in the game, and will make another serious go at a championship this season.

Offseason moves
The Sun’s biggest move of the offseason was to re-sign MVP Jonquel Jones to a two-year extension to keep her in Connecticut.
Their second offseason priority was to get younger and more explosive scoring potential from the backcourt. The Sun stalled out in the playoffs last season, against a Sky squad with the defensive length to slow down their frontcourt. Last season’s starting shooting guard, Briann January, was more of a perimeter defender than a scorer, and she left in the offseason to join the Storm. The Sun filled their shooting guard void with the splash signing of Courtney Williams. Williams was 11th in the WNBA in scoring last season and shot 38.2% from behind the arc, a skill set the Sun needs to complement their awesome frontcourt.
