10 most impactful players for the 2024 WNBA playoffs
Alyssa Thomas, Connecticut Sun
The Sun have had a strong 2024 season and will be a top-four seed in the playoffs. That鈥檚 in large part thanks to a deep and talented lineup featuring DeWanna Bonner, Brionna Jones, DiJonai Carrington and Thomas. While Thomas doesn鈥檛 have the same scoring numbers as some of her teammates, her all-around contributions make her an invaluable piece for Connecticut as the postseason begins. The 6-foot-2, 10th-year forward has averaged 10.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 7.9 assists and 1.6 steals in 2024 while shooting over 50% from the floor. Thomas has had three triple-doubles as well and has narrowly missed several more. Thomas, who has spent her entire WNBA career with the Sun, has already been to two WNBA Finals and her experience could loom large over the next several weeks.
