They can’t afford to be one dimensional against opponents with multiple scoring options, especially if they want to compete with the upper echelon of the league. The Dream, who drafted Haley Jones, need to generate more offensive production as a team by spreading the ball around and scoring at all three levels, while simultaneously leveraging their defensive game and capitalizing on turnovers.

But it also has to utilize its frontcourt in Monique Billings, Naz Hillmon and Cheyenne Parker. Now that Allisha Gray is in the fold, Atlanta has the potential to create one of the most effective backcourts in the league. With a league-worst 17.6 assists per game, the bulk of their point production came from isolation plays, midrange jumpers and individual scoring - particularly from Rhyne Howard (16.2 ppg) and Tiffany Hayes (16.2). They averaged 78 points per game (11th) on 42 percent shooting (11th). Last season, the Dream were at the bottom of the league offensively. Can the Atlanta Dream be more effective on offense? Like seasons past, there will be no shortage of drama, action, fierce competition, eye-popping individual performances and exceptional basketball to take in this year.
