Patty's Players - Volume 1

Patty V • July 25, 2022

I introduce you to a new weekly drop, Pattys Players. Each week I will feature one select player to showcase in an article. As we evolve, you may find a pattern to the selected players, but I’d be lying if I told you I will come in with a set criteria. For Patty’s Players its just one of those when you know you know feelings.


This week, without further ado, I give you my player: Skylar Diggins-Smith.


Diggins-Smith has quietly been having herself quite the season this year. She is currently averaging 20/5/2, respectfully. This places her in the top 10 for ppg (3rd), apg (7th) and spg (4th). Skylar also ranks 3rd overall in fantasy points per game, if you’re into that kind of thing.


However, these numbers are NOT the reason I have selected her as our Player this week. I present to you exhibit a:

Or, if it wasn’t enough to have her make Stephanie Talbot look like an extra in the movie, ATL, perhaps we should take a look at exhibit b:

You see, not only did Skylar Diggins-Smith show the world that she was still one of the baddest women on the planet, she also did it in complete style, rocking Kobe Bryant’s high school jersey as she walked into the arena, on her way to dropping 35/6/6.


For anyone out there not watching the WNBA, this is the kind of stuff you’re missing on a nightly basis.
