Dana Evans Breakout Season

From Undrafted to WNBA's Most Improved Player

Dana Evans' journey to the WNBA was not without its challenges. After going undrafted in 2021, the 25-year-old guard joined the Chicago Sky and quickly made a name for herself. In her second season, Evans has emerged as one of the league's most exciting players, earning the WNBA Most Improved Player award.

From Louisville to Chicago

Evans played college basketball at Louisville, where she was a three-time All-ACC selection. Despite her success in college, Evans was surprisingly overlooked in the WNBA Draft. However, she impressed the Chicago Sky during training camp and earned a spot on the roster.

In her first season with the Sky, Evans averaged 9.1 points and 3.3 assists per game. She also led the team in three-point shooting, with a 40.2% success rate. Evans' contributions helped the Sky reach the WNBA Finals, where they ultimately lost to the Las Vegas Aces.

Breakout Season

Evans has taken her game to the next level in her second season with the Sky. She is currently averaging 15.5 points and 5.0 assists per game, while shooting 44.9% from the field. Evans has also been a key playmaker for the Sky, with 94 assists on the season.

Evans' breakout season has been a major factor in the Sky's success this year. The team currently has the second-best record in the Eastern Conference and is a contender for the WNBA championship.
