Kinks need to be ironed out, and additional chemistry has to be built before the Las Vegas Aces’ talented-as-any offense truly reaches peak form. But make no mistake about it: when their newly-drafted No. 13 pick stepped onto the floor, it often doesn’t take a science to predict how they plan to utilize Aaliyah Nye.

The sweet-shooting 6-foot forward has hit her stride in early-June, averaging double-digit scoring on 47-33-83 percentage splits over Las Vegas’ first two games, but the seeds for something noteworthy were planted long before.
