Five key players you need to know for WNBA Finals not named Angel Reese

The WNBA Finals will feature a clash between two teams vying for their first championship, with Angel Reese’s dominance already cementing her as the series’ focal point. Beyond Reese, Golden State’s Gabby Williams stands out as a two-way force, combining elite wing defense with a lethal scoring touch—she’s averaging 22.7 points per game in the playoffs while shooting 57.6% true.

Atlanta’s Jordin Canada, meanwhile, has emerged as the unexpected playmaker, delivering Chris Paul-like numbers with 19.2 points and 8.8 assists per game, all while maintaining a perfect free-throw rate and a 4.4-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Though Canada’s career three-point shooting is modest, her ability to control the offense could be the difference-maker against Golden State’s stifling defense.

Rhyne Howard, another Dream key player, has struggled with efficiency but remains a critical piece in the lineup as the series unfolds.
