Brionna Jones

With significant draft capital invested into beefing up their frontcourt firepower, the Chicago Sky have left little guesswork regarding the two areas in which they intend to dominate year-after-year: the low-post area and the paint. Having been around the block a few times — both literally and figuratively — as a two-time All-Star and former All-Defensive Team selection, Brionna Jones used an impressive two-way sequence to show her opponents how it’s done. Powerful and unyielding against Marina Mabrey’s post entry pass attempt, Jones uses her 6-foot-3 frame to overwhelm Elizabeth Williams before inhaling the pass as if she were the intended recipient. Sprinting the length of the floor in hopes of sequencing her steal with a score, Jones reaps the reward for her ambition, using her teammate’s unselfish dime before dropping in a wide-open layup. Through her role in helping the Connecticut Sun dominate the rebounding, second-chance, and paint points battles, Jones’ team remained the WNBA’s only undefeated team. Ever consistent, Jones needed just 23 minutes to pour in an efficient 16-point, six-rebound, two-steal performance on May 25, 2024.
