Minnesota Lynx rookie guard Olivia Miles just became the fifth player in WNBA history to average at least 15 points and five assists through her first six games.<\/p>\n
Miles posted 14 points, nine rebounds, five assists and two steals in an 85-75 road win over the Chicago Sky on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
The No. 2 overall pick in this year’s WNBA draft is averaging 15.0 PPG, 5.5 APG, 5.0 RPG and 1.5 SPG for the 4-2 Lynx, who are tied for third in the league standings.<\/p>\n
Miles was a tremendous playmaker, scorer and jack-of-all-trades at Notre Dame and TCU, averaging 15.6 points, 6.5 assists, 6.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game. Her game has seamlessly translated to the WNBA, to the point where she’s already joined some of the game’s past and present greats (Sue Bird, Candace Parker, Sabrina Ionescu and Caitlin Clark) on an elite list.<\/p>\n
Miles will look to keep her hot stretch going when the Lynx host the Atlanta Dream on Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Minnesota Lynx rookie guard Olivia Miles just became the fifth player in WNBA history to average at least…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":661421,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[99,434],"class_list":["post-661420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=661420"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661420\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/661421"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=661420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=661420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=661420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
