Flau’Jae Johnson played her first two WNBA games this weekend for the Seattle Storm after her stellar college career at LSU.<\/p>\n
She’s already showing growth from game one to game two.<\/p>\n
While neither contest was particularly efficient, Johnson showed Sunday she could get to the line to help the Storm beat the Connecticut Sun.<\/p>\n
She finished with 16 points on 3-for-10 shooting from the floor (1-for-3 from 3) with a 9-for-10 line at the foul line.<\/p>\n
Johnson added six rebounds, an assist (one turnover), three steals and a block.<\/p>\n
Maybe most telling is that Johnson was second on the Storm with a plus-11 for the game, behind just Dominique Malonga’s plus-15.<\/p>\n
