Brionna Jones and Alyssa Thomas of the Connecticut Sun were both selected to the WNBA All-Star Game this week, marking their second and third appearances, respectively.
Jones, a six-foot-three power forward, was the eighth overall pick in the 2017 WNBA Draft following a four-year stint with the Terps. At Maryland, she was nominated to an All-America team, the All-Big Ten First Team — thrice — and led the nation in field goal percentage twice.
The 26-year-old is coming off last season where she was named the league’s Most Improved Player and notched her first All-Star appearance.
She is second on the Sun with 14.
