Players to Watch: Portland Fire vs. Connecticut Sun
Portland Fire
Carla Leite — G. Leite runs Portland’s offense from the point, averaging 15.1 points and 5.8 assists per game while shooting 42.9 percent from the field. She’s automatic at the free throw line at 88.1 percent, and her 25.2 minutes per game reflect how much the Fire lean on her to set everything in motion.
Bridget Carleton — F. Carleton has emerged as Portland’s second-leading scorer, putting up 13.5 points per game on 39.6 percent shooting and a sharp 37.2 percent from three-point range. Her 89.8 percent free throw mark and 30.4 minutes per game reflect a player Portland trusts to stay on the floor in close games.
Emily Engstler — F. On the glass, Engstler is Portland’s most consistent presence, pulling down 5.5 rebounds per game with 4.4 coming on the defensive end against 1.1 offensive boards. That split points to a forward built to control her own defensive glass rather than chase second-chance points.
Connecticut Sun
Aneesah Morrow — F. Connecticut’s frontcourt production starts with Morrow, who averages 10.5 points and 9.4 rebounds per game while shooting 39.3 percent from the field. She does most of her rebounding work on the defensive glass at 6.6 boards per game, adding 2.8 more on the offensive end, though her 65.8 percent free throw mark still leaves room to grow.
Leila Lacan — G. No one on the Sun roster distributes the ball like Lacan, who leads the team with 4.6 assists per game to go with 12.4 points on 41.0 percent shooting. She’s a reliable 70.0 percent from the free throw line and plays 28.9 minutes a night, making her the closest thing Connecticut has to a steady hand.
Aaliyah Edwards — F. Efficiency defines Edwards’ game, as she shoots 50.4 percent from the field and an even better 50.0 percent from three on her way to 9.1 points per game. She adds 3.6 rebounds per game in 19.3 minutes of action, a smaller role that still produces at a high rate whenever she’s on the floor.
