Natasha Howard is a starter for the Lynx, averaging 14.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 28.4 minutes across 44 games — 5th in the league in steals. Her game is built on playmaking (3.3 assists a game, top 7% of frontcourt players), disruptive hands on defense (1.6 steals a game) and volume scoring. Where she falls short: turnovers (2.5 a game against 3.3 assists). High points: a season-high 27 points vs. the Storm on Jun 6, plus 10 double-doubles and 11 games of 20 or more. Low points: a 3-of-10 shooting night at the Liberty on Jul 3. Bottom line: Howard is one of the league's best players, and the one thing between her and another level is turnovers.
