A'ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart will draft their All-Star teams this week in a special airing on ESPN (1 p.m. ET Saturday) ahead of next weekend's game in Las Vegas. The duo were selected as captains again this year as leaders of the fan vote.
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - JUNE 29: Breanna Stewart #30 of the New York Liberty and A'ja Wilson #22 of the Las Vegas Aces wait for a Liberty player to shoot a free throw in the third quarter of their game at Michelob ULTRA Arena on June 29, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Aces defeated the Liberty 98-81.

Neither are divulging many secrets when it comes to their strategy, though Stewart did question in a media scrum the day of the announcement if she should trade for the No. 1 pick to draft Brittney Griner. Griner was selected as a starter in her first season back after missing the 2022 season while wrongfully detained in Russia. Stewart, the New York Liberty’s leading scorer, also jested about drafting Wilson’s teammates to “mess with her a little bit” on a “SportsCenter” hit.
That’s exactly what happened last year when Stewart took Aces shooter Jackie Young at No. 2. Wilson scooped up the rest of her teammates with Kelsey Plum, who would go on to be named All-Star MVP, at No. 3 and Dearica Hamby at No. 10. Team Wilson won, 134-112, in Chicago. Ahead of the draft — which Wilson promised to be a fun time, and the Aces’ star forward always delivers on that front — Yahoo Sports brainstormed who fans might most want to see as teammates and as opponents in the annual event.Three South Carolina alumna will play in the game and Wilson, making her fifth appearance, could put them all on a team together for the first time.
Allisha Gray, one of her closest friends and teammates on the 2017 national championship team, was named a reserve for the Atlanta Dream and is making her first All-Star appearance. They attended the 2023 Final Four, where South Carolina was upset by Iowa, to see Aliyah Boston attempt a second title. Boston, the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft, is the first rookie named to the starting squad since 2014 and only the eighth in league history.
