Former Dallas Wings center Teaira McCowan, once a top prospect, could make a comeback in the WNBA. The 2019 WNBA Draft's No. 3 overall pick from Mississippi State, she joined the Indiana Fever as an All-Rookie Team member. After three seasons, a trade brought her to the Wings, but her time in Dallas was short-lived, and she was waived mid-campaign. With an upcoming expansion draft, McCowan might get a fresh start. Clutch Points contributor Jess Koffie predicts McCowan's move to the Portland Fire with the No. 13 overall pick, highlighting her unique combination of size, intimidation, and exceptional wingspan. Offensively, she excels in pick-and-roll finishes, offensive rebounds, and post scoring. Defensively, McCowan is a rim protector, with her shot-blocking and positioning making her a late-game defensive asset. Despite her challenges in Dallas, McCowan remains a talented player, and her experiences could benefit an expansion team in Portland or Toronto. Currently playing overseas for Fenerbahçe in Turkey, she'll be ready for the 2026 WNBA season. The Dallas Wings coach, Jose Fernandez, shared insights into his trip to see Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd, further emphasizing the team's potential. Stay tuned for more coverage of the Dallas Wings throughout the offseason on WingsGameday.
