The Sparks are counting on Plum to be a star for them as they try to get back to the postseason. Plum spoke on her excitement in joining the Sparks, helping to lead this young team forward.
"Despite that initial hesitation, every step of the way, they have not just met but exceeded my expectations," Plum said, "and I've been treated better than I've ever been as a WNBA player. "
"I'm excited to be part of the new wave," Plum said. "And we'll be able to show players that this is a place where -- L.A. -- you want to play."
Last season with the Aces, Plum averaged 17.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 0.7 steals per game. Plum is still one of the better players in the WNBA today, and the Sparks are looking to her to be the next face of this franchise.
Pairing Plum with second-year player Cameron Brink could be very successful for the Sparks. Los Angeles is ready to win, and they are counting on Plum to be the missing piece this season.
