With significant draft capital invested into beefing up their frontcourt firepower, the Chicago Sky have left little guesswork regarding the two areas in which they intend to dominate year-after-year: the low-post area and the paint. Having been around the block a few times — both literally and figuratively — as a two-time All-Star and former All-Defensive Team selection, Brionna Jones used an impressive two-way sequence to show her opponents how it’s done. Powerful and unyielding against Marina Mabrey’s post entry pass attempt, Jones uses her 6-foot-3 frame to overwhelm Elizabeth Williams before inhaling the pass as if she were the intended recipient. Sprinting the length of the floor in hopes of sequencing her steal with a score, Jones reaps the reward for her ambition, using her teammate’s unselfish dime before dropping in a wide-open layup. Through her role in helping the Connecticut Sun dominate the rebounding, second-chance, and paint points battles, Jones’ team remained the WNBA’s only undefeated team. Ever consistent, Jones needed just 23 minutes to pour in an efficient 16-point, six-rebound, two-steal performance on May 25, 2024. · May 26, 2024
