Even in a season-opening loss, Brooke McCarty-Williams showed exactly why she belongs on this Wings' roster

Leading up to the start of the Dallas Wings' season, most of the hype has been surrounding rookie guard Arike Ogunbowale.

The fifth overall pick out of Notre Dame was tabbed as the co-favorite to win the WNBA rookie of the year award in the WNBA's annual GM survey.

However, it was another rookie who stole the show in the Wings' season-opening 76-72 road loss to the Atlanta Dream on Friday.

Former Texas Longhorns guard Brooke McCarty-Williams had a solid WNBA debut with eight points, eight assists, three rebounds and two steals and had a plus-minus rating of eight.
