2025-26 WNBA Offseason Guides: Connecticut Sun
Richard Cohen, Her Hoops Stats

The positive angle for Connecticut is that things have gotten significantly better. For the first half of the season, it looked like the only question was going to be where they finished among the worst WNBA teams of all time, when assessed by more realistic measures than record like net rating. But at this point, they're not even the worst team this year, and the 2025 Sun are currently only the 16th-worst WNBA team of all time. The negative angle is that obviously that's still pretty bad, and a hell of a drop-off for a team that's been among the title contenders for most of the last decade
