Officially in the history books with a WNBA debut that showcased her tantalizing potential and two-way versatility, Cameron Brink made it unquestionably clear, the amount of defensive attention that will be required to contain her. But upon seeing the Atlanta Dream’s discombobulated defense, the paint just a few dribbles away, and a red carpet officially rolled out for her first-ever professional score, the Los Angeles Sparks’ new star certainly wasn’t one to complain about a wide-open shot. Decisive in her move after a pair of Dream defenders collide into one another, the 2024 No. 2 selection makes her move, racing into the lane with a quick gather before laying in a smooth finish just two minutes into her opening game. The skilled rookie, fittingly, kept Atlanta on its toes throughout, fusing catch-and-shoot triples, elusive dribble moves, and sound rim protection into her highlight reel during the loss on May 15, 2024. A star on the night, even with both foul trouble and Atlanta’s group of All-Star bigs threatening to steal her thunder, Brink tallied up 11 points, two rebounds, four assists, two blocks, two 3-pointers, and a +8 plus-minus in 20 minutes. · May 16, 2024
