Atlanta Dream (2-5)

Rhyne Howard (Kentucky) – The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year is having a season very comparable to that award winning (and all-star) season a year ago. Howard is currently averaging 16.7 PPG, 5.1 RPG, and 2.7 APG. Howard is shooting 38.1% from the field while playing 31.9 minutes per contest.

Gray is shooting 44.3% from the field, 34.8% from deep, and 84.6% from the line. It hasn’t been the start to the season that the Dream have wanted, however they have the third and fourth leading scorers among all former SEC players in Howard and Gray.

Laeticia Amihere (South Carolina) – Amihere has only played in three games on the year, averaging 4.3 PPG across 5.7 minutes per game in those contests. Amihere has appeared in the last two games for the Dream, after only playing in one of the first five of the year.
