A'ja Wilson is arguably the best player in the WNBA. Her dominance is difficult to deny. Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon was asked about the gameplan as it relates to Wilson during the team's Saturday contest versus the Los Angeles Sparks. Hammon got brutally honest in her answer, via the WNBA.

“It's never enough,” Hammon said about feeding Wilson the ball. “She always needs the ball.”
Aces: A'ja Wilson's tremendous 2023 season
The Aces, despite losing Saturday to the Sparks by a final score of 78-72, are the best team in the WNBA. Las Vegas leads the Western Conference by 10.5 games and hold a fairly narrow lead over the New York Liberty for the best record in the entire league.
The Aces unquestionably feature an all-around talented roster. Wilson, though, is their go-to option on both offense and defense. She was excellent in 2022 and is having an even better 2023 campaign. Wilson is currently averaging over 21 points per game to go along with 9.6 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per contest.
In addition to Wilson and the other talented players on the roster, Hammon deserves credit as well. She formerly coached in the NBA but took over the Aces head coaching job and has not looked back, consistently demonstrating her impressive prowess as a head coach.
What's next for Las Vegas?
Becky Hammon, A'ja Wilson, and the Aces will try to jump back into the win column on Tuesday in a clash with the Atlanta Dream. Tip-off for the game is scheduled for 7:00 PM EST.
