Of all the ways that Sonia Citron could’ve used her versatile-as-any skillset to shake up the Rookie of the Year conversation, the No. 3 pick chose something quite groundbreaking: the most efficient high-volume scoring debut in WNBA history. Almost flawless in her accuracy throughout May 16, 2025’s showcase, Citron gets the early-game party started with a dribble handoff, setting her path for a silky-smooth pull-up middy along the right baseline. It was merely the beginning for Citron, as the former Notre Dame star closed the Washington Mystics’ season opener with 19 points (on six-of-seven shooting), two rebounds, two assists, and two 3-pointers. Such brilliance allowed Citron to both guide a win over the Atlanta Dream as eight-and-a-half-point underdogs, and produce the highest TS (true shooting) percentage for any rookie to score at least 15 points in their debut game. · May 16, 2025
