Sonia Citron was ranked 4th among guards in the player ranking. (If it was just player votes - she would have been a starter!)
Incredible to see the respect the 22 year old has already garnered from her peers!

Sonia Citron was +16 in 53 minutes, the highest +/- by a player who played 50 minutes in WNBA history.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK.
I asked Kiki Iriafen how she thinks Georgia Amoore has played so far this season. Amoore had 10 points and eight assists over 28 minutes.
“I think Georgia is doing an amazing job. It’s not easy to be a starting point guard coming off an injury. Rookie season, so much is being thrown at her, so much is expected of her. She carries herself with alot of poise, she’s always trying to find her teammates. I think every single game you’re seeing her get more confident, more aggressive…she’s such a huge piece for us and a big reason why we won today.”
