Few rookies arrive in the WNBA with the two-way pedigree Gabby Williams carried out of UConn, where she won back-to-back national championships and earned national Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2017. Just seven games into her professional career as the fourth overall pick in 2018, "Spooky G" put together a performance against the Phoenix Mercury on June 8 that still stands as her WNBA career best, getting to her spot at the elbow, making a decisive move left, and finishing at the rim as part of a 10-of-13 shooting clinic that nobody saw coming quite so soon. The player who would go on to represent France in two Olympics, win the EuroLeague championship in 2022, and earn multiple All-Defensive selections has never stopped adding to a legacy built on both ends of the floor. She finished with 26 points, two rebounds, one assist and three steals. · Jun 9, 2018
