Aliyah Boston setting WNBA records in her rookie season
Everyone knew Aliyah Boston was good, but she is proving it time and again, this time at the professional level. Boston was drafted No. 1 overall in the 2023 WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever.
“Aliyah is ready. She’s always ready. She’s such a pro already,” Fever head coach Christie Sides said.
“She’s just an incredible piece for us. I mean both as a player and as a person. She’s come in every day. She works hard every day. She looks to get better. She talks to her teammates, she talks to the vets a lot about what can I do? How can I get better? How can I do this better for Coach? She’s just an incredible piece for us.”
This was before a preseason game, but Boston has grown leaps and bounds already in the first week of the regular season. And now she is setting records.
She’s the first player to start their WNBA career with three consecutive games of 10 points or more and 60% or better shooting from the field.
