The 2009 WNBA Rookie of the Year has improved in each of her first three seasons in the league as this year she again set career highs in both scoring and rebounding. The Dream's leading scorer, who just narrowly missed beating out Taurasi for the scoring title, has Atlanta in the finals against Minnesota, and is on the All-WNBA First Team for the first time.
