She didn\u2019t make the original 12-player roster in Washington, but the 22-year-old impressed enough to earn a full roster spot within a month of signing, and she\u2019s become increasingly relied upon as the Mystics have dealt with injuries to their starting backcourt of Sonia Citron and Georgia Amoore. Fl\u00f3rez was arguably Washington\u2019s second-most important player in an upset win over Atlanta without Citron last week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">Fl\u00f3rez has great chemistry with her bigs. She worked well on give-and-gos with Shakira Austin and Kiki Iriafen and made the decisive plays in the fourth in the pick-and-roll with Iriafen. Fl\u00f3rez is also decisive in attacking the basket. She resembles Amoore from a distance (the ponytails and the fist pumps are similar), and she even dribbles the ball the same way, but Fl\u00f3rez has the size to make all the passes Amoore can\u2019t and provides a necessary scoring threat from the perimeter, and Amoore mostly scores as a last resort. That\u2019s especially helpful when Citron is out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fl\u00f3rez is one of the early success stories of the developmental player contracts in the new CBA.
