Liz Cambage trade helps turn Las Vegas Aces into WNBA contender - Michelle Voepel.
Cambage was traded Thursday from Dallas for guard Moriah Jefferson, forward Isabelle Harrison and 2020 first- and second-round draft picks. The Wings are putting the pieces together under new coach Brian Agler, who has led the Seattle Storm and Los Angeles Sparks to championships. This process with the Wings is interesting, too, especially because of Agler's track record for success.
But the Aces go from missing the playoffs last season to being in contention to hoist the trophy this season, and the 6-foot-8 Cambage has a chance to be a major piece of the puzzle. The first question, of course, is how Cambage fits with 6-foot-4 post player A'ja Wilson, last year's No. 1 draft pick and WNBA rookie of the year. On paper, it looks fantastic. Wilson tied for third in the league in scoring last season at 20.7 PPG. The lefty from South Carolina adjusted quickly to the pro game, averaging 8.0 rebounds to go with her offensive production.
