This is a basketball writer’s dream, mostly because it never happens! On August 13th, I wrote that the New York Liberty were approaching do-or-die territory with Marine Johannés.
That wasn’t...
because Marine Johannés is playing well, though. In fact, it’s been the opposite for much of this season, her third in the WNBA and with the New York Liberty, but especially so over the last 15 games. In that timeframe, the Frenchwoman is scoring 5.1 points a game and taking 5.5 shots a game. The shooting splits are as you’d expect with a statistic like that, at 33/31/75, only made worse an assist-to-turnover ratio under one.
