All-Star Game rosters
— -- The 2015 WNBA All-Star Game rosters include seven former No. 1 overall draft picks and 10 first-time All-Stars. Minnesota and Phoenix each lead the way with three players in Saturday's game (ABC, 3:30 p.m. ET) at Mohegan Sun. Seimone Augustus (knee), Skylar Diggins (knee) and Lindsay Whalen (eye) will miss the game because of injuries.
Starters were determined by fan balloting (total votes included only for starters), and reserves were determined by the league's 12 head coaches. Laurel Richie, the league president, selected the three replacement players ( Note: * Denotes first-time All-Star; ^ denotes replacement player.)
East starters
Elena Delle Donne, Chicago Sky
The 6-foot-5 guard/forward leads the league in scoring, ranks second in rebounding and finishes as the top vote-getter for the second time in three seasons. Delle Donne, however, is making her All-Star debut after being sidelined because of a concussion for the event as a rookie and then missing the game last season as she battled the effects of Lyme disease. Total votes: 18,034
Shoni Schimmel, Atlanta Dream
The 5-9 guard is a starter for the second consecutive season. She scored a All-Star Game-record 29 points (hitting 7-of-16 3-pointers) en route to All-Star Game MVP honors last summer. Schimmel ranked sixth overall in All-Star balloting. Total votes: 8,881
Tamika Catchings, Indiana Fever
Voted to her 10th All-Star Game, the 6-1 forward has set the record for most selections (a mark she previously shared with Tina Thompson). Even better? All 10 of Catchings' All-Star appearances are as a starter. Did we mention that's 10 in 14 seasons (and there wasn't an All-Star Game in 2012)? Total votes: 9,923
Angel McCoughtry, Atlanta Dream
The two-time WNBA scoring champion was named a starter for the fourth time (and third consecutive). The 6-1 forward/guard has scored in double figures in every game this season, including a pair of 30-plus efforts this summer. Total votes: 7,619
Tina Charles, New York Liberty
Making her second start and fourth straight All-Star appearance, the 6-4 center ranks fourth in the league in rebounding. On June 9, Charles joined the 3,000-point club, becoming the 10th-fastest player in WNBA history to reach the mark. Total votes: 6,129
East reserves
Alex Bentley*, Connecticut Sun
An All-Star debutante, the 5-7 guard ranks second in the league in steals per game. Bentley is averaging 4½ more points per game this season over last year's average; her 16.8-point average is tied for sixth in the league.
Kelsey Bone*, Connecticut Sun
For as big a boost as Bentley has been to the Sun backcourt, Bone has made similar strides in Connecticut's frontcourt. The 6-4 center/forward has increased her scoring average by more than 5.0 points per game, shooting 54 percent from the field.
Marissa Coleman*, Indiana Fever
The 6-1 guard/forward and seven-year WNBA veteran is averaging a career-best 12.6 points this season and shooting a career-high 44 percent from the field.
Stefanie Dolson*, Washington Mystics
In her second WNBA season, the 6-5 center is making her All-Star debut after more than doubling her scoring average from a year ago (up to 13.4 points). She ranks fourth in the league in field goal percentage, shooting 54.3 percent from the field.
Emma Meesseman*, Washington Mystics
Who ranks ahead of Dolson in field goal percentage? That would be Mystics teammate Meesseman, a 6-4 Belgian center who ranks third with a 54.5 percent accuracy from the field.
Cappie Pondexter, Chicago Sky
The seven-time All-Star joins Tina Thompson as the only WNBA players to be selected as an All-Star for three different teams (previously in Phoenix and New York). The 5-9 guard ranks eighth in scoring in the league.
West starters
Skylar Diggins, Tulsa Shock
Just nine games into the season, the 5-9 guard suffered a torn ACL in her right knee and has been sidelined since June 28. Still, Diggins ranked No. 2 overall in balloting and was voted a starter for the second consecutive season. Total votes: 15,895
Seimone Augustus, Minnesota Lynx
The 6-foot guard was voted a starter for the second time but is a six-time All-Star overall. Augustus, the 2011 WNBA Finals MVP, is a perfect 26-for-26 on free throws this season. She will miss the game after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on her knee earlier this month. Total votes: 9,599
Maya Moore, Minnesota Lynx
The 6-foot forward and 2014 regular-season MVP ranks third in the league in scoring. Moore, who ranked third overall in voting, is a four-time All-Star, named a starter on all four occasions. Total votes: 13,706
Brittney Griner, Phoenix Mercury
Despite being suspended for the first seven games of the season, the 6-9 center was voted a starter for the third time in as many seasons. Griner is the reigning WNBA defensive player of the year and leads the league in field goal percentage and blocks per game. Total votes: 7,138
Candice Dupree, Phoenix Mercury
Dupree is a five-time All-Star who is making her first start. The 6-2 forward is a model of consistency; she has appeared in all 34 games in six of her nine WNBA seasons entering 2015. Dupree's career shooting percentage is hovering around 50 percent. Total votes: 5,954
West reserves
Sue Bird, Seattle Storm
Since she entered the league, the 5-9 guard has been picked to participate in nine of 10 All-Star Games played (she missed 2013 because of an injury). A replacement player in 2014, Bird is a seven-time All-Star starter who leads the league in assists per game.
DeWanna Bonner*, Phoenix Mercury
The perennial Sixth Woman award winner (she won the honor three consecutive seasons from 2009 to '11), the 6-4 guard/forward is making her All-Star debut. Bonner is a two-time WNBA champion (2009 and 2014).
Jantel Lavender*^, Los Angeles Sparks
The 6-4 center, another All-Star debutante, is having a career year, posting personal-best averages in points (14.9; 10th in the league) and rebounds (9.1; sixth). The Sparks have the league's worst record (3-13), but Lavender has been consistently solid.
Kayla McBride*^, San Antonio Stars
Like Dolson, McBride is making her All-Star debut in only her second season. The 5-11 guard/forward and former unanimous 2014 All-Rookie honoree leads the Stars in scoring for the second year in a row.
Nneka Ogwumike, Los Angeles Sparks
A three-time All-Star selected for the third consecutive season, the 6-2 forward is the only WNBA player averaging a double-double. Ogwumike leads the league in rebounds and ranks fourth in scoring.
Plenette Pierson*, Tulsa Shock
The 6-2 forward/center, who was a rookie in 2003, is making her All-Star Game debut. Pierson is a two-time WNBA champion (Detroit Shock in 2006 and 2008) and former Sixth Woman award winner (2007).
Danielle Robinson, San Antonio Stars
Fourth in the WNBA in assists per game, Robinson makes her third consecutive (and overall) All-Star appearance. The 5-9 guard shoots 90 percent from the free throw line.
Lindsay Whalen, Minnesota Lynx
The 5-9 point guard has helped drive Minnesota to the league's best mark at the break. Selected for her sixth All-Star appearance and third in a row, Whalen -- who ranks fifth in the league in assists per game -- will sit out Saturday after sustaining an eye injury earlier this week.
Riquna Williams*^, Tulsa Shock
A 2012 All-Rookie honoree and the 2013 Sixth Woman award winner, the 5-7 guard has more than doubled her scoring average from last season (up to 14.7 points). Williams holds the single-game scoring record (51 points).
