Sami Whitcomb joined the Phoenix Mercury<\/a> this season, and in that time, she has been a valuable contributor. <\/p>\n

Whitcomb has spent time as both a starter and a reserve this year, and she has had big games in both roles. <\/p>\n

Recently, Whitcomb had 17 points off the bench<\/a> in the Mercury’s game against the Los Angeles Sparks. Then, back in July, she had a career-high 36 points against the Dallas Wings. Kahleah Copper was out at this time, and Whitcomb was a starter. Whitcomb had a big game, and the Mercury won by 30. <\/p>\n

Whitcomb has won two championships<\/a> in the past, and she may be on the verge of another. With the way the Mercury are playing, they have a good shot at winning. <\/p>\n

Washington took a step in the wrong direction, as they finished 13-18 that year. <\/p>\n

Whitcomb had another solid year after that, as she averaged 12.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.2 assists. Washington struggled that year, as they had a record of 8-22. <\/p>\n

Despite Washington’s struggles, Whitcomb had solid years with the team. She went undrafted in the 2010 WNBA Draft, but she eventually found a home with the Seattle Storm. She always spent time with the New York Liberty before returning to Seattle. Now, she is playing well with the Mercury. <\/p>\n

Whitcomb brings experience to the team, as she has played in the WNBA since 2017 and she won her championships. Having championship-winning players like her and DeWanna Bonner put the Mercury in a better position to win. Whitcomb’s shooting will come in handy come playoff time, and it may be one of the keys to Phoenix’s championship win. <\/p>\n
