We hand out our "too early" MVP and Most Improved Player awards, check in on which teams have impressed the most, and discuss who has positioned themselves as the biggest surprises through the first part of the season.

Which teams are poised to rise or fall in the standings, and which players are set up for a breakout month? We make our predictions and discuss the storylines we'll be watching closely over the next few weeks.

In this episode of the Winsidr Show, Madisyn Cunningham returns as we break down some of the biggest early-season storylines across the WNBA. We discuss the early hype and attention surrounding the expansion teams, the Golden State Valkyries and Toronto Tempo, and whether the buzz has felt different with two new franchises entering the spotlight at once. We also touch on the emotional reality, the final season for the Connecticut Sun as currently constructed.

From there, we dive into two of the league’s most surprising teams so far: the Washington Mystics and Chicago Sky. The Mystics’ young core has been one of the biggest surprises of the season, while the Sky continue to defy expectations despite dealing with a wave of injuries. We break down what’s looked real, what’s sustainable, and what these starts could mean moving forward.

In this episode of The Winsidr Show, we’re joined by Eliav Gabay to turn our attention to the Phoenix Mercury as they look to build off a Finals run that came up just short last season. With a core group returning and an emphasis on continuity, we dig into what this version of the Mercury could look like with more time, chemistry, and clarity.

From draft night decisions to free agency moves, we break down what changed—and just as importantly, what didn’t. We get into the key additions, the departures that could matter, and which under-the-radar moves might shape the rotation more than expected.

We also take a closer look at how last season’s ending influences the approach this year, what internal growth could be the biggest X-factor, and where the pressure points lie heading into the season. Whether it’s roster construction, player development, or big-picture expectations, we cover it all and give our early read on where the Mercury stand now.
