Players to Watch: Phoenix Mercury vs. Golden State Valkyries
Phoenix Mercury
Jovana Nogic — G. The guard has become a floor-spacing weapon for Phoenix, averaging 11.8 points across 21.8 minutes a night and burying 44.3 percent of her three-point attempts. Her shooting touch carries to the line too, where she connects on 89.5 percent of her free throws, and she chips in 1.9 assists per game to keep the second unit ticking.
DeWanna Bonner — F. A veteran wing with deep playoff experience, Bonner logs 26.1 minutes per game and contributes 8.8 points and 4.8 rebounds for the Mercury. Her 96.0 percent mark from the free-throw line is among the most dependable on the roster, even as her 34.6 percent shooting from the field reflects a tougher stretch from the floor.
Natasha Mack — F. Rebounding is where Mack earns her minutes, hauling in 8.3 boards per game split between 5.3 on the defensive end and 2.9 on the offensive glass. She finishes efficiently when she gets the ball inside, converting 70.7 percent of her shots on the way to 10.3 points per game, and she hits 85.0 percent from the line.
Golden State Valkyries
Gabby Williams — F. Williams leads the Valkyries in scoring at 14.5 points per game while shooting 40.4 percent from the floor. She backs that up with 77.1 percent shooting from the free-throw line, making her the go-to option when Golden State needs a basket.
Veronica Burton — G. Running the point for the home side, Burton averages 5.5 assists in 28.4 minutes per game. Her 1.5 turnovers a night give her a clean better-than-three-to-one assist-to-turnover ratio, the kind of ball security that steadies the Golden State offense.
Kayla Thornton — F. Thornton does her work on the boards, grabbing 5.5 rebounds per game with 3.7 coming on the defensive end and 1.8 on the offensive glass. That offensive-rebounding presence gives the Valkyries extra possessions and second-chance looks at home.
