Requiring all of seven minutes to showcase many of her redeemable, versatile traits during her WNBA debut, Charisma Osbourne found that with just 30 seconds remaining, there was one more box to check off on the milestone list: the first-ever professional bucket. Cool and controlled during her dribble towards the 3-point arc, the 2024 No. 25 pick discovers her window, using her teammate’s physical screen to break free of Dorka Juhász’s defense before banking an around-the-basket reverse finish off the glass to her teammates’ delight. Incredibly productive during her five-year collegiate run, Osbourne translated those skills notably in the loss on June 22, 2024, plugging up pick-and-rolls as a tagger, taking on an assignment of guarding the Minnesota Lynx’s All-Star scorer, and keeping the Phoenix Mercury's offense on schedule. In limited opportunities, Osbourne contributed two points, one rebound, and one-of-two shooting. · Jun 23, 2024
