Alissa Pili · From their well-earned distinction as the WNBA’s No. 1-ranked 3-point shooting team to their ability to run proven, winning lineups far into their bench, the Minnesota Lynx — in more ways than one — have proven to know a thing or two about depth. Setting her focus on making an impact in just her second WNBA game, Alissa Pili exemplifies both, setting her stance in the far-right 3-point corner before catching a cross-court pass on the way to a wide-open spot-up triple and her career’s first-ever professional score. Pili’s milestone triple helped Minnesota carve out a nine-point advantage in the third quarter, a boost they’d use to fuel a second-consecutive victory against the Seattle Storm on May 17, 2024. Fitting right in on a night that saw seven different Lynx players take part in the long-range barrage, the 2024 No. 8 selection made her presence felt, finishing her memorable night with five points, two rebounds, and one 3-pointer in 10 minutes of action. · State of Mint
