Satou Sabally

Satou Sabally might be a top 10 player when healthy, but injury concerns have marked her WNBA career heavily, so we’ve got to hedge a bit when projecting what she does in her new home in Phoenix.

After five seasons in Dallas that saw Sabally play a full campaign just one time, the former Oregon Duck demanded a trade this offseason, landing her on a new-look Mercury team. Gone are Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner, replaced by Sabally and Alyssa Thomas.

Sabally missed over half of the 2024 season, but she came on strong in the 15 games she played post-Olympics, averaging 17.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 45.2 percent from 3-point range. A healthy Sabally is an elite 3-and-D player who can also operate with the ball in her hand while playing the three, four or five.
