Jewell Loyd | Las Vegas

Coming off the bench, Jewell has looked fantastic! She has been the x-factor in their last four games, all wins which have come by single-digits. In those four, she averaged 14.3 PPG and only had 4 COMBINED turnovers, while shooting 42.1% from the field. She's turned up the intensity and efficiency, heading to the week looking dangerous as Vegas makes a push into the top half of the standings.

Veronica Burton | Golden State

One of the frontrunners for Most Improved, Veronica has looked terrific this season. On Wednesday vs Washington, she notched a career-high 30 points and became just the third player to record 30-5-5 on an expansion team. She's solidified herself as one of the most lethal 3-point shooters in the league, shooting just under 40% this season. The Valks went 3-0 last week largely in part to her 16.3 PPG, 6.0 RPG & 7.3 APG efforts.

Leila Lacan | Connecticut

The French rookie has recorded five games in double-figure scoring so far this month and has made an impact in stats across the board. A 17-point effort helped CT win their first game in nearly two weeks on Wednesday vs Chicago. It was a similar tremendous [16-point] effort which helped them notch a big win over NY to begin the month, proving that she can turn it up against the biggest and baddest. She could be locking down an All-Rookie spot.

Maddy Siegrist | Dallas

Maddy hasn't missed a beat since returning from a knee injury that sidelined her for nearly two months. Since her comeback on August 3rd, she's averaged 14.8 PPG, including tying a career-high with 22 points in a big win over Indiana on Tuesday. Dallas remains out of the playoff picture, but Siegrist has certainly invigorated this team to continue competing and showing up against the top dogs in the league.

DiJonai Carrington | Minnesota

Nai was the missing piece Minnesota needed. Since being acquired this month, she's dropped double-digit scoring in all three games she's played, averaging 13.3 PPG in wins over Seattle, Washington and New York. She's looked incredibly good on both sides of the ball and her shooting efficiency is the best I've ever seen (62.8 FG%). If she continues to come off the bench and produce at this level, she could certainly be a contender for Sixth Woman of the Year. She's already in the conversation for DPOY thanks to gritty, hard-nosed on-ball defense.

Dominique Malonga | Seattle

The French phenom had a stretch from Sunday to Sunday (August 3rd to the 10th) where she looked unstoppable. Two double-doubles and averages of 16.5 PPG & 7.8 RPG helped Seattle keep it competitive vs Indiana, Minnesota, Vegas and LA, losing those four by a combined 15 points. Malonga is certainly challenging for WNBA Rookie of the Month and has all but locked down a spot on the All-Rookie Team. She has come alive!

DeWanna Bonner | Phoenix

The last three games have seen the vet put up back-to-back-to-back double-digit scoring (19.0 PPG) and a season-high 23 points (vs her former team Indiana). Her efforts off the bench are keeping Phoenix steady at 4th in the standings as we inch closer to the postseason. At some point, her name has to be brought up in 6POY talks.
