Biggest All Star Snub in 2026
Kamilla Cardoso, Chicago Sky Center
Kamilla Cardoso, Chicago Sky Center, Rim Protector and one half of The Sky's Twin Towers, is probably the biggest WNBA All Star Snub for 2026. Besides averaging 14.6 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.5 assist, 1.8 blocks and shooting 59% from the filed, she is also one of the top defensive centers in the WNBA. She set a new WNBA Record for a perfect shooting game going 13-13 and 30 Points. She has a better overall average than one of the centers named as an All Star Reserve. I won't mention any names. Some people might say, but her team has a losing record. So what? Correct me if I am wrong, but being named an All Star is about individual achievements. I won't continue to go on and on, I just hate to see a talented player that works so hard, has a great attitude and one of the most HUMBLE Athletes I have ever seen get SNUBBED. TDG Sports Marketing Consulting Sports Agency Congratulates Chicago Sky Star Center, Kamilla Cardoso , "The Gentle Giant", for having an All Star Season, regardless!
And one last thought. How can you rob an athlete of such a prestigious award , then turnaround and host the event in the athlete's city and arena where she works? WOW, talk about the ultimate disrespect!
Big WNBA Moves Could Take Place
Te-Hina Paopao, Atlanta Dream Guard
Dream G Te-Hina Paopao
Paopao has the ability to start in the WNBA; she's just buried on one of the deepest guard depth charts in the WNBA. She's a great 3-point scorer and played at South Carolina; guards who played for Dawn Staley always have high basketball intelligence and character. If the Dream swing a trade for an established veteran for their playoff push, Paopao could be a nice return for any team needing a young Sharpshooter. She could fit in lots of systems, too. Paopao could fit in New York with Ionescu, Los Angeles with Plum, Minnesota with Miles, Mystics with Citron. All of these are playoff contenders and need a second Sharpshooter. Pao could start in the backcourt as a second sharpshooter with any of these stars. And believe it or not, The Sky could turn it up before the season is over and make the playoffs. They have the talent. Paopao, Cardoso and Taylor would fit well together. Cardoso and Paopao won a Championship together, UNDEFEATED. The Sky do not have a talent problem; they have a Leadership Problem! And the bottom line, Paopao needs to get out of that mess in Atlanta. She is a Star and she needs be where she can Shine like a Star!
Skylar Diggins, Chicago Sky Guard
As I said previously, the Chicago Sky do not have a talent problem, they have a Leadership Problem. From what I see, Diggins could still fit in the starting lineup with Vandersloot. Move Diggins over to the 2 guard beside Taylor. Now you have 2 shooters in the back court and a floor general along with the twin towers in the front court; Cardoso and Stevens. Now you have a strong inside and outside punch starting and you have big punches coming off the bench; Sheldon, Jaquez, Banham, Cloud and Carrington soon in the back court. You have Williams, Coulibaly and Westbeld coming off the bench to relieve the twin towers. Even with Jackson not returning until next season, the Sky still have what it takes to turn this season around and go deep into the playoffs. This team needs true leadership, which they do not have. And I will be even more specific. I like Tyler Marsh. I just do not think he is leadership material. Maybe for the remainder of the season, he and Latricia Trammell should trade places. She led the Wings to the playoffs, and they did not have the talent that Chicago has. It sure could not hurt. I could go on and on, but I won't. The writing is on the wall. And if you are not going to play Diggins, trade her. Like Paopao, she is too valuable to be coming off the bench. You either play or trade her, because if you don't, she will make someone's life miserable.

TDG Sports Marketing's WNBA Picks for The East
New York Liberty
Washington Mystics
New York Liberty
The New York Liberty have a good team. They have battled injuries to key players so far, but I think they will turn things around. They can get past the first round, but whether they can win it all, it's going to be very competitive.
Chicago Sky
Washington Mystics
New York Liberty
The Chicago Sky's record does not reflect who they really are. They probably have some of the best talent in the WNBA. The have one of the Top 3 Centers and the best rotation of guards in the W. I think they can turn it around once everyone is back from injuries. If they can get past the first round, I think they can take the East. Let's see!
Washington Mystics
Washington Mystics
Washington Mystics
I also think the Washington Mystics will be a surprise power house in the East. With the addition of UCLA'S Star Center, All American and Player of The Year, Lauren Betts and the return of Georgia Amoore from injury, the Mystics will make a lot of noise. With the Firm of Citron, Iriafen, Amoore and Betts, this will be one of the best tea
I also think the Washington Mystics will be a surprise power house in the East. With the addition of UCLA'S Star Center, All American and Player of The Year, Lauren Betts and the return of Georgia Amoore from injury, the Mystics will make a lot of noise. With the Firm of Citron, Iriafen, Amoore and Betts, this will be one of the best teams in the East. Look out Dream and Fever. Keep your guards up. Don't let the Mystics catch you slipping! And I almost forgot about Texas point guard Rori Harmon. Look for good things from her as well!
TDG Sports Marketing's Picks for The West
Las Vegas Aces-Reigning Champs
Las Vegas Aces-Reigning Champs
Las Vegas Aces-Reigning Champs
It is not a lot to say about the Las Vegas Aces. Their record speaks for itself, 3 time Champions and Aja Wilson. You have to knock the Champ out to take the belt. Who will be good enough to take on that task? Once again, if there is no distraction, the Aces will stay focused.
Minnesota Lynx
Las Vegas Aces-Reigning Champs
Las Vegas Aces-Reigning Champs
The Lynx are always the team to watch due to their past. Natasha Howard is back with the Lynx. Howard, McBride, Williams and newly drafted TCU Star Point Guard, Olivia Miles will have to hold down the fort until Napheesa Collier returns from injury. I think the Lynx will make a good showing once again, although I keep saying, they won't
The Lynx are always the team to watch due to their past. Natasha Howard is back with the Lynx. Howard, McBride, Williams and newly drafted TCU Star Point Guard, Olivia Miles will have to hold down the fort until Napheesa Collier returns from injury. I think the Lynx will make a good showing once again, although I keep saying, they won't win a title without a true BIG. I don't know why they did not take Lauren Betts. A good point guard is important. And they drafted one of the best in Olivia Miles. Olivia and Raven Johnson were the best in the College Ranks. I hope the Lynx prove me to be wrong this year about the Big!
Golden State Valkyries
Las Vegas Aces-Reigning Champs
Golden State Valkyries
The Valkyries, I said from the very beginning of the season last year, "don't count the Valkyries out" and look what they did? They became the Cinderella team. I look for them to do nothing less this season. I also said if the Valkyries secured a Big, they could go all the way. They went and acquired the services of Las Vegas Aces Kia Sto
The Valkyries, I said from the very beginning of the season last year, "don't count the Valkyries out" and look what they did? They became the Cinderella team. I look for them to do nothing less this season. I also said if the Valkyries secured a Big, they could go all the way. They went and acquired the services of Las Vegas Aces Kia Stokes. Even though technically Kia is only 6'4", she plays like a 6'6" or 6'7" Big. Kia still has gas left in her tank. She is a great rim protector and rebounder. And she can get you buckets when needed. Lookout Aces and Lynx, the Valkyries are coming once again!
