Is a more experienced roster in the WNBA actually important? In 2024, there was a moderate positive correlation (0.63) between average team age and win percentage. Seems like a slightly more experienced roster might offer a bit of an edge, but it's definitely not the only factor determining success!

Even though the World Series Yankees and Dodgers were near the top for 2024 salaries, not every team got their return. In 2024, there was only a 0.315 correlation between salary spending and team wins. Spending big didn’t always guarantee success last season!

With the addition of Bonner, the Fever gain their first player from the 2024 season with a better on-court +/- than off-court. (It probably helps to have played on a title-contending team ☀️)
