Ever since the WNBA No.1 draft pick by the Indiana Fever entered her rookie year, she has been showing how the game is played. As dominant as she was in Iowa, the Rookie of the Year has shattered all records to etch herself as one of the best in history. Be it three-pointers or triple-doubles, she’s got it all under her belt. Now, her WNBA gear is ranking in the dollars as she gears up for the offseason.
