Players to Watch: Chicago Sky vs. Phoenix Mercury
Chicago Sky
Kamilla Cardoso — C. The Chicago center is putting up 14.6 points and 8.7 rebounds per game while shooting an efficient 58.5 percent from the field. Her rebounding splits skew toward the defensive glass, with 6.0 defensive boards to 2.7 offensive boards per game, and she is converting 75.0 percent of her free throw attempts.
Running the point for the Sky, Skylar Diggins averages 4.9 assists per game across 29.1 minutes of floor time. Her 1.7 turnovers per game make her one of the more careful ball handlers in this matchup, a valuable trait for a Chicago backcourt trying to control tempo on the road.
Phoenix Mercury
Kahleah Copper — G. Copper leads the Mercury in scoring at 20.6 points per game, though her 40.6 field goal percentage suggests she is getting to her volume more through opportunity than efficiency. She makes up ground at the line, knocking down 81.0 percent of her free throw attempts.
At forward, Alyssa Thomas paces Phoenix with 8.4 assists per game over 33.6 minutes a night, outproducing every distributor on the visiting side. That workload comes with 3.8 turnovers per game, the tradeoff for a player asked to initiate as much of the Mercury offense as she does.
