Know your role

G Linsday Allen, ballhandling: Allen missed all of last season with an injury but has a 3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio in her two seasons.

F Dearica Hamby, energy: Hamby was the Sixth Woman of the Year last season, and the Aces will need the same type of boost off the bench again.

She could receive some starting assignments, depending on injuries and matchups.

G Kayla Mcbride, shooting: Mcbride shot 42.8 percent from 3-point range for the Aces last year, and they’ll need more of the same to help them stretch the floor.

G/F Angel Mccoughtry, leadership: Mccoughtry’s resume speaks for itself. She’s a two-time Olympic gold medalist and sixtime ALL-WNBA selection who has led the Atlanta Dream to three WNBA finals appearances in her 10 years in the league.

G Danielle Robinson, quickness: Robinson might not be as fast as she once was, but she’ll help the Aces push the tempo after being picked up as a free agent.

G Sugar Rodgers, experience: It’s Rodgers’ eighth year, and she’ll likely be called upon to play more than the 11.6 minutes per game she did last year.

C Carolyn Swords, size: With Cambage having opted out, the 6-foot-6-inch Swords is the Aces’ tallest player. She’ll be called upon to guard some of the other bigs in the league and help on the boards.

C Avery Warley-talbert, strength: Warley-talbert has been described as a bull by teammates, and the Aces will need that physicality inside.

F A’ja Wilson, everything: Wilson is the Aces’ star and will look to improve on her averages of 16.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game from last season.

G Jackie Young, versatility: Young was eighth in the league in total assists with 153 and showed an ability to guard a number of positions. She was timid at times in looking for her shot. The Aces expect her to play with more confidence in that area this season.
