While it has been just a few games into the WNBA season, former Notre Dame star Sonia Citron has been playing like a seasoned vet.
The Washington Mystics newest star is averaging 15.4 points-per-game, which as its official social media points out is the top number for rookies in the league. Citron is doing this on 53.2% shooting from the field, shooting three’s at 47.6% and making a living at the free throw line by making 89.5% of her attempts.
Unfortunately Citron’s great play hasn’t sparked the Mystics to a winning record, as they are just 2-3 early in the season. Everything that she’s done early in her WNBA career has caught the eye of her former coach, Niele Ivey, who believes that she’s the front-runner for the Rookie of the Year Award.
While it’s very early in the season, it does look like Citron is one the early candidates to win the award this year.
