It\u2019s an opportunity for everybody to showcase and do what they do best.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t have to be anybody but yourself. That\u2019s what they\u2019re preaching. Just be you, within the concepts, of course. But with us missing and not having those veterans, everybody has to step up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On WNBA draft night three weeks ago, general manager Talisa Rhea seemingly put season expectations into perspective after the Storm collected Awa Fam, Flau\u2019jae Johnson and Taina Mair in the first round.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a great time to just reset the foundation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>So, what does \u201creset\u201d mean for a team that brought in nine newcomers and retained five holdovers?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCompeting to win every single night,\u201d first-year coach Sonia Raman said. \u201cIn terms of standings and record and all that, you know, we haven\u2019t talked about that. It\u2019s a day-to-day process. So, we just want to be as good as we can possibly be tomorrow and build from there. It\u2019s just going to be this one-day-at-a-time thing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s really important no matter what type of team you have. When you have a young team, the sky is (the) limit. The ceiling is so high and we don\u2019t want to put limits on it. We don\u2019t want to make predictions. We want to take tomorrow as it comes. Give it our best shot, right? Play really hard. Try to get stops, try to run, and then just keep getting better from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most league observers picked the Storm to finish near the bottom of the 15-team league and miss the eight-team playoffs for the first time since 2023 when they finished 11-29.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hard to say because things are still so new here,\u201d said seven-year veteran forward Ezi Magbegor, the longest-tenured Storm player, when asked if there are any similarities between the 2026 team and the 2023 squad. \u201cEach year and each team have their own unique identity and personality, so it\u2019s hard to compare in that sense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, we lost some key pieces (in 2023) in Sue (Bird) and (Breanna Stewart), and in that sense, its similar to losing everyone we lost from last year. \u2026 I\u2019m excited to see how good we can be this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Magbegor is sidelined for the first few weeks of the season due to a right foot injury suffered while playing for Australia in the 2026 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualifiers. She\u2019s expected to sit out at least 10 games and will be re-evaluated in June.<\/p>\n<p>The Storm are also missing prized rookie center Awa Fam, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 WNBA draft, who is in Spain playing for Valencia Basket.<\/p>\n<p>Without Magbegor and Fam, second-year center Dominique Malonga is expected to be featured in a lineup that will include five new starters.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, she struggled during the first half of her rookie season before a strong finish that included a back-to-back games of at least 20 points and 10 rebounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the All-Star (break), I was way more comfortable, but overall toward the end of the season, I was still learning,\u201d said Malonga, who averaged 7.7 points and 4.6 rebounds in 42 games as a reserve and garnered All-Rookie honors. \u201cEven when I was playing more, I was still learning a lot. You don\u2019t know when you get comfortable. You just go out there and play. You don\u2019t have time to think about, \u2018Am I comfortable or not?\u2019 Just try your best.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne time it happens, and you feel really good. I couldn\u2019t even tell you a game where I was like, \u2018OK, now I\u2019m ready.\u2019 Every game I stepped on the court, I was, \u2018I\u2019ll do my best.\u2019 Then it went from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked what advice she\u2019ll give to Johnson before her first WNBA regular-season game, Malonga said: \u201cFlau\u2019jae has so much energy and she\u2019s a great teammate. I would tell her to just be who you are and do what you do. She\u2019s a great player, but not only that, she\u2019s a great person with a great heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson, who led the team with a 16.0 scoring average in the preseason, is unbothered by the Storm\u2019s tepid preseason expectations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a fresh start for all of us,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s what the veterans have been telling me. We can be anything we want. Whether you\u2019re a vet, rookie or whatever, it\u2019s kind of like it\u2019s wide open because we\u2019re all new to this team and what (Raman) wants from us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what makes me so excited. I really don\u2019t care what anyone else thinks about what we can or cannot do. I really don\u2019t. All I\u2019m thinking about really is this next practice and doing what I need to do. Honestly, if we do that, we\u2019ll be fine and we\u2019ll end up where we\u2019re supposed to end up.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"extended-byline\">\n<div class=\"single-byline\">\n      <span class=\"name\">Percy Allen<\/span>:       <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seattletimes.com\/sports\/storm\/seattle-storm-embrace-fresh-start-for-all-of-us-in-2026-wnba-season\/mailto:pallen@seattletimes.com\">pallen@seattletimes.com<\/a><\/span>. <span>Percy Allen is a sports reporter for The Seattle Times, where he writes about the University of Washington Huskies men\u2019s and women\u2019s basketball teams and the Seattle Storm.<\/span>   <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seattletimes.com\/sports\/storm\/seattle-storm-embrace-fresh-start-for-all-of-us-in-2026-wnba-season\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The word that best describes the Storm\u2019s upcoming 2026 WNBA season is opportunity. \u201cThat\u2019s a great way to sum up what we have right now,\u201d three-year veteran forward Jordan Horston said. \u201cWe lost some really big pieces, and now this year, we all have to step up.
