| Seattle Times reporter Jayda Evans ranks the WNBA teams: | |
| Rank (LW) | Team (record), comment |
| 1. (1) | Minnesota (4-0): Team looks better than 2011 championship season, averaging 15.2 margin in victories. |
| 2. (6) | Los Angeles (3-1): Smart to make Kristi Toliver starting point, averaging 21 points, 4.5 assists. |
| 3. (4) | Indiana (3-0): Yeah, two victories against Atlanta, but added depth and scoring punch this year. |
| 4. (2) | Connecticut (3-0): Beating up on New York twice shouldn't get anyone that excited. |
| 5. (3) | Chicago (1-1): To coach Pokey Chatman's chagrin, second in league in turnovers (22.5). |
| 6. (11) | San Antonio (1-1): Finally holds home opener against Chicago on Wednesday. |
| 7. (5) | Seattle (0-3): Reality check, Seattle's defeats are all to likely two best teams in the WNBA. |
| 8. (8) | Phoenix (1-2): Rookie Samantha Prahalis showing no fear in leading veteran Mercury team. |
| 9. (10) | Atlanta (1-2): Angel McCoughtry leads WNBA in scoring (23.3) but team defense an issue. |
| 10. (9) | Washington (1-1): Offense is anemic, averaging a league-low 60.5 points to start season. |
| 11. (12) | Tulsa (0-3): Playing teams closer this year, losing by an average of 4.6 points. |
| 12. (7) | New York (0-4): Liberty is getting an early jump on the Brittney Griner sweepstakes. |
