Elizabeth Williams

Versatile in helping the Chicago Sky hustle into a victory that was nearly wire-to-wire, Elizabeth Williams settled into the type of two-way performance that could be described through a similar hyphenated phrase: end-to-end. Accepting first the hefty task of stonewalling the rim against Dearica Hamby — with a running start, no less — Williams holds her ground twice, turning the second miss into an opportunity to add to her gaudy rebounding total. Keeping her foot pressed to the gas, the 2017 All-Star runs the floor, using a pick-and-roll to set her path into the heart of the paint. Seemingly caught in the bee’s nest with three yellow-colored jerseys encircling her, Williams merely remains poised, balancing into a right-handed, off-the-glass banker to push Chicago’s lead to 20. Giving the fans plenty to celebrate during home win No. 1, Chicago led for 38 of a possible 40 minutes on May 30, 2024. Williams’ do-it-all impact couldn’t have been more pronounced, as she produced 17 points (on six-of-nine shooting), 11 rebounds, four steals, and four blocks.
