Connecticut Sun 2020 season: 10–12, scoring 80.4 points per game and allowing 79.9 (+0.5 average margin) across 22 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
Scouting report
The Sun finished 10–12, 7th in the league standings, with a +0.6 net rating that ranked 7th of 12. Defense was the identity — 4th in defensive rating (99.5 per 100) against a 9th-ranked offense (100.1). Their calling card was the offensive glass (12.5 a game, 1st); the soft spot, shooting efficiency (46.9% eFG, 11th). The offense ran through DeWanna Bonner, who scored 19.7 a night — 25% of the team's points, though the on/off numbers point to Briann January as the one they can least afford to lose — +19.4 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 3-game winning streak (Aug 10–Aug 14) and a 23-point rout of the Wings on Aug 6. The lows: a 5-game losing streak (Jul 26–Aug 4) and a 23-point loss to the Storm on Aug 16. They went 2–10 against teams at .500 or better. Bottom line: a middle-of-the-pack team held back by its shot quality — good enough to beat anyone on a given night, not consistent enough to be feared.
