00:00 Sabrina Ionescu is the WNBA's next star.
00:04 Queen Sabrina, triple doubles all over the place.
00:08 For more, I'm joined by Howard Megdahl,
00:10 who covers the New York Liberty for us.
00:12 Howard, what kind of talent are we looking at here
00:14 with Sabrina?
00:16 - A little bit of everything.
00:17 Sabrina Ionescu brings everything you want
00:20 in a classic combo point guard.
00:22 She's able to shoot the three better than 40% from deep.
00:25 She gets to the rim and finishes around the rim
00:27 extremely well.
00:28 She does not turn the ball over very much.
00:31 Her assist percentage is through the ceiling
00:33 and she elevates her game in the biggest moments.
00:36 It's basically a complete package.
00:37 If you wanted to design what the future point guard
00:40 ought to look like, it would look a lot
00:42 like Sabrina Ionescu's game.
00:44 - Yeah, and it brings a lot of excitement to the game, right?
00:46 In sort of like a Diana Taurasi-esque mode?
00:50 - There's a lot to that and also in the way
00:52 in which she competes is really similar to Taurasi.
00:55 That she just seems to elevate her game at that key moment
00:58 and absolutely determined to win
01:02 more than anyone else on the court.
01:04 - The queen of New York, she might just about to be.
01:07 Howard, appreciate your time as always.
01:09 - My pleasure.
