Hebard came in and despite challenges presented by the 2020 season, averaged 5.7 points and 3.9 rebounds in 22 games. 2019: No. 4 Katie Lou Samuelson, UConn, Guard/Forward In her rookie season with the Sky, Samuelson averaged 2.4 points in 20 games played. Wade traded her to the Dallas Wings for Azura Stevens head of the 2020 season. Stevens came in and before suffering a knee injury, was an asset to the Sky averaging 11.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 13 games. She was a starter for all 13.
