Players to Watch: Phoenix Mercury vs. Seattle Storm
Phoenix Mercury
Kahleah Copper — G. The Mercury’s leading scorer is putting up 18.4 points per game, carrying the bulk of the offensive load even on a 33.7 percent clip from the field. Her free-throw stroke remains the steadiest part of her game at 80.6 percent, which keeps Phoenix in possessions when defenses key on her drives.
Alyssa Thomas — F. Running point-forward for Phoenix, Thomas is dishing 7.8 assists per game across 33.1 minutes a night, the engine of an offense that puts up 83.0 points per night as a team. Her 3.4 turnovers per game come with the territory of that usage, but she remains the player most opposing defenses have to scheme around.
Natasha Mack — F. Mack is averaging 8.5 rebounds per game, including 3.1 on the offensive glass, giving Phoenix a strong interior presence against a Seattle frontcourt that has been short-handed.
Seattle Storm
Natisha Hiedeman — G. Hiedeman is Seattle’s leading scorer at 13.3 points per game while shooting 42.3 percent from the floor, doubling as a secondary distributor with 3.9 assists per night. Her 92.0 percent mark from the line is the most reliable late-game weapon Seattle has on the perimeter.
Flau’jae Johnson — G. The rookie guard leads Seattle’s regular available perimeter group in rebounding at 5.1 per game, with 4.2 of those coming on the defensive end.
