In this past WNBA offseason, the Atlanta Dream took a chance on nine-time All-Star Brittney Griner, signing her to a one-year deal. This was a historic signing for the franchise, as Griner is an all-time talent and future Hall of Famer. Dream general manager Dan Padover expressed his excitement over the signing after it happened.

“Brittney is the perfect fit for this team, this organization and this city,” Padover said. “She brings Hall of Fame talent, championship presence and leadership to our organization. This is a monumental moment for our franchise.”

Since then, Griner has had the worst statistical season of her career, but continues to make a strong impact in her debut season in Atlanta. Through 32 appearances and 25 starts this season, Griner is averaging 10.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game while shooting 51.8% from the field.
