Eastern Conference No. 5: Chicago Sky

Candice Dupree, forward/center

2006: Expansion franchise

Coach: Dave Cowens.

Key players lost: Expansion franchise.

Key players acquired: 5-11 G Chelsea Newton, 5-9 G Elaine Powell, 6-4 F Stacey Lovelace.

Hot newcomer: 6-2 F/C Candice Dupree (first-round draft pick).

Stat leaders: Inaugural season.

Breakdown: The Sky made an indelible impression in exhibition play, topping former champions Los Angeles and Seattle. Despite early reservations, the city appears excited about its team, which should feature solid defense with Newton and C Ashley Robison blocking shots. Offensively, Chicago could be streaky, but this scrappy roster will be full of players hoping to prove to their former teams that they should have been protected in the expansion draft.
