The Down Low
Breezy is a defensive powerhouse, who has pushed herself into the conversation for DPOY, particularly as a shotblocker. You'll rarely see her bragging about it though, choosing to hype up her teammates instead. But don't let her casual confidence fool you, Brianna's rebounding and rim protection has been a huge part of the Mercury's success in recent years.
Off the court, Brianna charmingly describes herself as "boring," opting for legos and jigsaw puzzles over a night out, which is...incredibly relatable.
