Are the Las Vegas Aces Facing an Unseen Crisis Before the 2025 Season?
They Shall Not Pass
Great passing can compensate for a lack of talent, and poor passing can oppress an otherwise talented lineup. Unfortunately for the Aces, they’re squarely in the latter category. They rank 12th in the league in assists, assist rate and assist ratio.
Even during their dominant years, the Aces weren’t one of the best passing teams in the league. In 2022 and 2023, they were eighth in assist rate – and still won the WNBA Finals. But in those seasons, the Aces were buoyed by hyper-efficient scoring from their stars. Now that efficiency is harder to come by, and the ball still isn’t moving. That’s not an ideal combination.
