Rhyne Howard's impressive WNBA debut sign of what's to come

One game into her professional career and Rhyne Howard looks every bit the part of a No. 1 pick.

The Atlanta Dream rookie and former Kentucky Wildcats superstar put on an absolute show in her first WNBA regular-season outing. Howard led the Dream in scoring on Saturday with 16 points to go along with her three rebounds, four assists, four blocks (including a pair of impressive fastbreak rejections, which became one of her signature moves while in Lexington), and two steals as her squad opens the schedule 1-0 with a 66-59 victory over the Dallas Wings.
