South Carolina women's basketball: Gamecocks in the WNBA - Week 6

Bree Hall scored her first basket, A’ja Wilson returned, and Laeticia Amihere and Te-Hina Paopao lit up the scoreboard. Get caught up on all the Gamecocks in the WNBA.

Atlanta Dream (10-4)
Allisha Gray
14 games (14 starts), 34.9 mpg, 20.1 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 4.1 apg, 1.1 spg, 45.1 3P%
Gray cooled off from her torrid pace to start the season, but not much. She is second in the league in threes made and fifth in three-point percentage. She should still be in the MVP discussion if Atlanta keeps winning.

Last week:
at New York (86-81 loss): 36 minutes*, 14 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists
vs Washington (92-91 win): 33 minutes*, 18 points, 2 rebounds, 2 blocks, steal
vs Chicago (93-80 win): 38 minutes*, 19 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, block

Te-Hina Paopao
13 games (4 starts), 14.0 mpg, 6.9 ppg, 1.9 apg, 1.5 rpg, 57.1 3P%
Last week, I said Paopao should be playing more. She did get more playing time, but she needs even more. Paopao tied her career-high of 16 points twice last week. She leads the WNBA in three-point percentage. Against New York and Washington, she had the best plus/minus of any Atlanta player, but in both games, she barely played in the fourth quarter as Atlanta’s leads evaporated. 

Last week:
at New York (86-81 loss): 15 minutes, 16 points, 2 steals, assist, rebound, 4-5 3PT
vs Washington (92-91 win): 15 minutes, 7 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, block, 1-2 3PT
vs Chicago (93-80 win): 21 minutes, 16 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, 5-6 3PT

Upcoming games:
Tuesday, June 24 at Dallas (8:00 ET, League Pass)
Friday, June 27 vs Minnesota (7:30 ET, Ion/League Pass)
Sunday, June 29 vs New York (3:00 ET, ESPN3/League Pass)

Chicago Sky (3-10)
Kamilla Cardoso
13 games (13 starts), 22.5 mpg, 11.6 ppg, 6.6 rpg, 1.6 apg, 0.7 bpg
Chicago is nearing train-wreck status, but Cardoso had two strong games last week. Then she only got four shot attempts in the next game. That kind of sums up the Sky.

Last week:
vs Washington (79-72 loss): 29 minutes*, 18 points, 10 rebounds, block, steal, assist
vs Phoenix (107-86 loss): 21 minutes*, 17 points, 3 rebounds, steal
at Atlanta (93-80 loss): 21 minutes*, 7 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, block

Upcoming games:
Tuesday, June 24 vs Los Angeles (8:00 ET, NBA TV/League Pass)
Friday, June 27 at Golden State (10:00 ET, Ion/League Pass)
Sunday, June 29 at Los Angeles (4:00 ET, ESPN)

Dallas Wings (3-12)
Tyasha Harris
5 games, 16.5 mpg, 4.6 ppg, 1.0 rpg, 2.6 apg, 45.5 3P%
Harris injured her left knee against Connecticut on May 27. There was optimism that it wasn’t season-ending, but unfortunately, Harris underwent season-ending surgery on June 10.

Golden State Valkyries (7-6)
Laeticia Amihere
4 games, 20.3 mpg, 9.0 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 1.5 apg, 1.5 bpg
Amihere is making a lot of teams, including Golden State, who cut her in the preseason, look bad for not signing her sooner. After never scoring in double figures in her first two seasons, Amihere did it in all three games last week. She also grabbed a career-high 12 rebounds against Connecticut for her first double-double.

Last week:
at Dallas (80-71 loss): 24 minutes, 14 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, block
vs Indiana (88-77 win): 19 minutes, 10 points, 4 blocks, 3 assists, 3 rebounds, steal
vs Connecticut (87-63 win): 23 minutes, 10 points, 12 rebounds, assist, steal, block

Bree Hall
1 game, 3.0 mpg, 3.0 ppg, 1.0 RPG
Hall got to play late in Golden State’s blowout win over Connecticut. She missed a three, but then scored her first career basket on a driving layup. 

🎉 BREE HALL TO THE RACKKK 🚗💨

Finishes strong at the rim for her first career WNBA bucket ‼️

Aliyah Boston
13 games (13 starts), 29.3 mpg, 14.7 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 3.0 apg, 1.5 bpg, 60.3 FG%
Boston continues to lead the league in field goal percentage. She had a monster game against Las Vegas, one that shows how much she has improved since her rookie season. Boston would be even more productive if she weren’t constantly in foul trouble from trying to clean up Indiana’s poor perimeter defense.

Last week:
vs Connecticut (88-71 win): 27 minutes*, 9 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, block, steal
at Golden State (88-77 loss): 30 minutes*, 17 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks, assist, steal

Las Vegas Aces (6-7)
Tiffany Mitchell
13 games (2 starts), 13.4 mpg, 3.7 ppg, 2.0 RPG
Mitchell got her second start of the season against Minnesota and scored a season-high 10 points. When A’ja Wilson returned to the lineup, Mitchell returned to her reserve role.

Last week:
at Minnesota (76-62 loss): 21 minutes*, 10 points, 5 rebounds, steal
vs Seattle (90-83 loss): 10 minutes, no stats
vs Indiana (89-81 win): 7 minutes, 4 points, 2 rebounds

A’ja Wilson
10 games (10 starts), 32.4 mpg, 21.1 ppg, 9.8 rpg, 3.6 apg, 2.6 bpg, 1.9 spg
Wilson didn’t forget how to play during her three games missed while in concussion protocol, but the Aces are still figuring things out. The come-from-behind win over Indiana is a good start.

Last week:
at Minnesota (76-62 loss): DNP-Concussion protocol
vs Seattle (90-83 loss): 34 minutes*, 20 points, 14 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 steals, 2 assists
vs Indiana (89-81 win): 34 minutes*, 24 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, steal

Upcoming games:
Wednesday, June 25 vs Connecticut (10:00 ET, NBA TV/League Pass)
Thursday, June 26 vs Washington (10:00 ET, Amazon Prime)
Sunday, June 29 at Phoenix (6:00 ET, NBA TV/League Pass)

Los Angeles Sparks (4-10)
Sania Feagin
5 games, 4.0 mpg, 0.4 ppg, 0.4 RPG
Los Angeles is struggling, which means Feagin has gotten some playing time in blowouts. She had three blocks against Seattle.

Last week:
vs Seattle (98-67 loss): 11 minutes, 3 blocks, assist, rebound
at Minnesota (82-66 loss): 2 minutes, turnover

Upcoming games:
Tuesday, June 24 at Chicago (8:00 ET, NBA TV/League Pass)
Thursday, June 26 at Indiana (7:00 ET, Amazon Prime)

Seattle Storm (9-5)
Zia Cooke
13 games, 9.6 mpg, 3.1 ppg, 0.7 apg
Cooke doesn’t play a lot, but she makes the most of her playing time. Seattle has been a surprise so far this season.

Last week:
at Los Angeles (98-67 win): 14 minutes, 5 points, 2 assists, rebound, steal
at Las Vegas (90-83 win): 2 minutes, no stats
vs New York (89-79 win): 8 minutes, 5 points, assist, block

Upcoming games:
Tuesday, June 24 vs Indiana (10:00 ET, NBA TV, League Pass)
