20 reasons to get excited about the WNBA's 20th season

with the 2016 season set to tip off this Saturday, the 20-year-old WNBA is stocked with stars and storylines. From personnel to apparel, the league is ready to take its next steps in growth.

It all begins with two months of play before the league breaks for the Rio Olympics. The second half of the season will resume once the league's superstars are back from Brazil and the schedule is set to run deeper into October due to the delay. That means US fans of the women's game will get to watch nearly six months of hoops.

To celebrate the start of all that basketball, here are 20 things we're looking forward to in the WNBA's 20th season:

1. Breanna Stewart is here

The most decorated college basketball player ever is set to make her rookie debut for the Seattle Storm. The former Connecticut Husky won four straight NCAA titles, was named the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player four times, National Player of the Year three times, and well, chances are the draft's No. 1 pick carries that success over.

It'll be weird to see Stewart lose games given she only lost five in her four-year UConn career.

2. No more boring white jerseys!

All teams are getting rid of their white home uniforms in exchange for these colorful new ones. Ten new teams are getting color designs because the Los Angeles Sparks and San Antonio Stars were already ahead of the curve.
