Satou Sabally is one of the WNBA's top players, and she earned the "Unicorn" nickname because of her versatility. She can score in a variety of ways, and overall, she can change the game anytime she is on the court.

Sabally joined the Phoenix Mercury during the offseason, and since then, she has been one of their top players. The Mercury have a record of 24-14, and they have won their last three games. Sabally has played a pivotal role in those games, and in her last five, she has been efficient.

Sabally has played well as of late, and up until her nine points against the Sky, she scored in double figures for six straight games. She was on a roll, and despite not having 10 or more points against Chicago, she managed to make an impact.

Phoenix is going for a championship, and if they want to win, they need strong performances from Sabally.
