Sydney Taylor, a 25-year-old guard for the Chicago Sky, is having an impressive rookie season in the WNBA. Despite being undrafted, Taylor is averaging 14.7 points and 1.6 assists per game, while shooting 45.5% from the field and 34.8% from three.
Taylor’s Rise to Prominence
Taylor’s success is a testament to her hard work and dedication. She has been trending upwards as the season has progressed, scoring at least 14 points in every game since July 7th. Her latest performance was a 29-point game-winning effort against the Las Vegas Aces, marking her fifth 25-point game of the season.
The Sky have struggled this season, with a record of 11-18 and out of the playoff picture. However, Taylor has been a bright spot, helping to keep the team in games all season long. She is currently the leading scorer on the roster and is making a strong case for herself as a legitimate Rookie of the Year candidate.
While Minnesota Lynx guard Olivia Miles is likely to win the Rookie of the Year award, Taylor is the second-leading scorer among rookies. She is averaging 18.4 points on 47.3% shooting — and 39.3% from three — in 16 games as a starter this season.
