Aaliyah Nye · 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. A floor-spacer to the highest degree — with 83.3 percent of her shots arriving from downtown — Nye gets the 3-point party against the Connecticut Sun, camping along the far-left corner before swishing in a catch-and-shoot triple. 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. During May 20, 2025’s road blowout, Nye chipped in three points and one triple over a 12-minute appearance. · State of Mint
