Atlanta Dream (18-11)<\/strong>
Allisha Gray
29 games (29 starts), 35.3 mpg, 18.7 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 3.9 apg, 1.2 spg
It was a milestone week for Gold Medal Lish. Against Dallas, she moved into sixth place on Atlanta\u2019s career scoring and career assists lists. Gray made a career-high seven threes against Phoenix and scored a career-best 14 in the first quarter. She also became the 37th player in league history with 400 career threes, and she currently leads the league with 72 this season.<\/p>\n

Last week:
vs Golden State (77-75 loss): 34 minutes*, 12 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 assists
at Dallas (88-85 win): 35 minutes*, 15 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 steals
vs Phoenix (95-72 win): 28 minutes*, 26 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, block
vs Washington (99-83 win): 35 minutes*, 22 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals<\/p>\n

Te-Hina Paopao
28 games (5 starts), 13.6 mpg, 5.3 ppg, 1.9 apg, 1.5 rpg, 43.3 3P%
Paopao dropped all the way to fourth in the WNBA in three-point shooting percentage, but probably had the best week of her pro career. As a fill-in starter against Dallas, Paopao led Atlanta\u2019s comeback in the final two minutes. She had a game-tying layup, back-to-back defensive stops, the go-ahead layup, and then, after Dallas tied the game, Paopao found Naz Hillman for the game-winner. It was finally enough to make the Dream realize she needs to play more, and against Washington, Paopao had the best plus\/minus, Atlanta\u2019s second consecutive season-high in points.<\/p>\n

Last week:
vs Golden State (77-75 loss): 4 minutes, 2 points
at Dallas (88-85 win): 37 minutes*, 11 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1-5 3PT

Dallas Wings (8-21)<\/strong>
Tyasha Harris
5 games, 16.5 mpg, 4.6 ppg, 1.0 rpg, 2.6 apg, 45.5 3P%
Harris injured her left knee against Connecticut on May 27. Initially, there was optimism that it wasn\u2019t long-term, but unfortunately, Harris underwent season-ending surgery on June 10.<\/p>\n

Golden State Valkyries (14-14)<\/strong>
Laeticia Amihere
17 games, 14.2 mpg, 5.9 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 1.3 apg
Golden State has been hit with a rash of injuries, opening more playing time for Amihere. She has responded well and was one rebound short of being the fourth Gamecock with a double-double on Sunday.<\/p>\n

at Atlanta (77-75 win): 15 minutes, 6 points, 4 rebounds, assist, steal
at Washington (68-67 win): 13 minutes, 8 points, 5 rebounds, assist

Aliyah Boston
29 games (29 starts), 30.2 mpg, 15.5 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 3.8 apg, 1.0 bpg, 1.0 spg, 54.7 FG%
Boston no longer leads the WNBA in field goal percentage, but she\u2019s playing like it\u2019s 2022. She has recorded a franchise-record six consecutive double-doubles and led Indiana to its longest winning streak in a decade.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A\u2019ja Wilson
24 games (24 starts), 30.0 mpg, 21.6 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 3.4 apg, 2.3 bpg, 1.6 spg
The only thing consistent about the Aces is their inconsistency. Wilson had a monster game against the Sparks, scoring 17 of her 34 points in the first quarter. She went 8-8 from the floor in the first quarter, tied for the second-most field goals in a quarter in league history (despite only playing seven minutes). Wilson finished with 11 baskets in the first half, tying the record for most in a half, and finished with 16 baskets, tied for the second most in a regulation game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Seattle Storm (16-13)<\/strong>
Zia Cooke
24 games, 10.4 mpg, 3.3 ppg, 0.5 apg, 0.5 rpg
Cooke was productive in a blowout win over Connecticut, but did not play in narrow losses to Los Angeles and Indiana.<\/p>\n

Last week:
at Connecticut (101-85 win): 12 minutes, 8 points
vs Los Angeles (108-106 2 OT loss): DNP-CD
vs Indiana (78-74 loss): DNP-CD<\/p>\n

Tiffany Mitchell (First 16 games with Las Vegas)
25 games (3 starts), 15.4 mpg, 3.8 ppg, 1.5 rpg
Mitchell didn\u2019t shoot well last week, and as a team, Seattle seems to be at a crossroads after the strong start to the season.<\/p>\n

at Connecticut (101-85 win): 15 minutes, 3 points, assist
vs Los Angeles (108-106 2 OT loss): 13 minutes, 2 points, rebound, steal

Unsigned<\/strong>
Bree Hall
2 games, 3.9 mpg, 1.5 ppg, 1.0 rpg
Golden State waived Hall on Monday, June 30, to create roster space for players returning from EuroBasket. It wasn\u2019t a surprise, but hopefully Hall put herself on the league\u2019s radar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The graduates of Post Player U showed out last week, plus it was a milestone week for the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":118313,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[62,67,132,68,232,1707],"class_list":{"0":"post-118312","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-united-states","10":"tag-unitedstates","11":"tag-us","12":"tag-wnba","13":"tag-womens-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114970814386774251","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118312\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
