Remembering Kelsey Bone’s Stint With The Mercury

Kelsey Bone started her career with the New York Liberty, but at one point in her career, she played for the Phoenix Mercury . Bone was the fifth pick of the 2013 WNBA Draft, and she was the first of five Liberty picks. New York selected Toni Young two picks later, and they drafted Kamiko Williams, Shenneika Smith and Olcay Çakır in the later rounds. That was a significant draft, as Brittney Griner, Elena Delle Donne and Skylar Diggins were the top three picks. In her season with the Liberty, Bone averaged 6.9 points and 5.4 rebounds. The following year, Bone was a part of a draft-day trade that sent Alyssa Thomas , New York’s 2014 pick, to the Connecticut Sun. The Liberty received Tina Charles in return.

The center averaged 9.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists that year, and in 2015, she had an even better season. TheRead More
