JJ Quinerly · The floater releases with perfect touch as JJ Quinerly elevates over towering defenders, showcasing the expanding skillset that has made her one of the biggest surprises of the WNBA rookie class. Her diminutive frame recalls Allen Iverson's fearlessness against size, and like the Philadelphia legend, this Virginia native refuses to back down from any challenge on the hardwood. The Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year winner transforms into an offensive artist, showing that heart trumps height when determination meets opportunity. Third-round draft selections rarely earn starting opportunities, but Quinerly's emergence as a legitimate two-way threat validates Dallas's faith in her competitive spirit and basketball IQ. Born just 20 miles from Iverson's Hampton birthplace, she embodies that same Norfolk-area toughness that refuses to recognize size disadvantages. She battled for nine points, seven rebounds and four assists. · State of Mint
