The Untold Strategy Behind Alyssa Thomas’s Record-Breaking WNBA Playmaking Streak

The Untold Strategy Behind Alyssa Thomas’s Record-Breaking WNBA Playmaking Streak

Satou Sabally (2.3 assists per game) and Kahleah Copper (1.4 APG), the other two components of the Mercury Big 3, aren’t expected to facilitate much at all. Rookie Monique Akoa Makani (2.6 APG) and guard Sami Whitcomb (2.7 APG) have both been nice surprises for the team this year but are more ancillary ball handlers to Thomas.

That leaves most of the passing duties to AT herself. While she’s averaging 9.1 assists, no one else on the team is averaging more than 2.7. As a team, the Mercury are actually a pretty pedestrian passing unit, ranking No. 7 in assists and No. 5 in assist percentage.
