It isn’t an overstatement to say that Arike Ogunbowale has been one of the best players in the WNBA this season.
The Dallas Wings guard – now in her fifth professional season – is coming off her third All-Star appearance and is averaging 21.9 points per-game, which is third-best in the WNBA through 22 games. The Notre Dame product is also averaging career-highs in assists (4.7) and steals (1.7) per-game, and free throw percentage (88 percent). Her play has helped the Wings outperform expectations so far this season; they’ve won five games in a row and have the WNBA’s fourth-best record at 13-9.
