Allisha Gray has spent three seasons with the Atlanta Dream and has not disappointed the fans. This is her first time receiving the Player of the Month award, and for good reason: Gray is averaging 20.1 points per game this season, marking an explosive start offensively. It is her best season offensively. However, she is excelling not only on the offensive end but also in defense, crashing the boards effectively. Gray averages 5.3 total rebounds, including 1.1 offensive rebounds and 4.1 defensive rebounds. She has also contributed 4.5 assists this season. Allisha is doing it all to help her team win while playing 35.6 minutes per game. Gray is on a mission to become the best version of herself this season.
Gray is averaging nearly 30 points per game this season. Her best offensive outing was against the Seattle Storm on May 30, when she scored 28 points and a career high. The Dream secured a 94-87 victory, and Gray shot 53.3% for the night. Her lowest-scoring game was the most recent one on June 6 against the Connecticut Sun, when she scored 11 points. The Dream lost the game 84-76, which shows you that Gray is the common denominator in Atlanta winning this season. The Dream has a record of 5-3 and is second in the Eastern Conference. This is the franchise’s best start to a season in nine years.
Allisha has been the weapon for the Dream; her shooting has been her best in three seasons in Atlanta. She is averaging 49.5% from the field and 43.5% from three. Will Gray continue her unbelievable streak and help the Dream win more games? We will see.
The Atlanta Dream’s next game is Tuesday, June 10, at 7:30 p.m. ET, against the Indiana Fever. It is a Commissioner’s Cup Game.
