Marina Mabrey

Long before she became one of the most feared catch-and-shoot threats in the game, Marina Mabrey was finding her footing as a 19th overall pick out of Notre Dame, where she left as the program's all-time leader in made three-pointers. Stationed on the left wing at home against the Dallas Wings on July 18, 2019, she catches, rises, and buries the triple with the clean mechanics that would define her professional identity. The 12-point effort in a five-point Sparks victory was a quiet preview of what was coming: two All-Star selections, an All-WNBA Second Team nod, and a career built entirely on the threat of her shooting from anywhere inside half court. She finished with 12 points, one rebound, one assist and one steal.
