It took only one conversation for Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve to realize she had something special with Courtney Williams.
“I knew how real she was as a person.” Reeve said. "That’s probably why we do so well. I can say anything to Courtney, and she can say anything to me.”
They talked on the phone during the offseason and connected right away. Reeve liked how straightforward Williams was. She also liked what she could bring to the point guard position for the Lynx.
And since coming to Minnesota, Williams the person and Williams the player are both thriving.
