Mercury's Turner Has Big Game Against Eastern Conference Team

She shared it with Brittney Griner, who would win the award three more times after that. As far as Turner, she made the Big 12 Defensive Team, and it was her third time doing so. Turner had a nice season, as she averaged 11.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 1.6 assists. She was contributing on both ends of the floor, and she was recognized for her efforts. After her final year, Turner went undrafted. She made her WNBA debut years later, as she joined the Phoenix Mercury in 2017. Before that, she was playing overseas.
