As the tone-setter for the inaugural Toronto Tempo (7-5), Sykes is shouldering a massive two-way workload, attacking downhill with relentless aggression to the tune of 21.6 points per game. Yes, her shooting splits (40.7% from the field, 25.9% from deep) show the strain of being a primary option. But Sykes’ sheer volume, elite defensive edge, and ability to keep a brand-new team immediately competitive make her top-11 status undeniable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"11.
