The Connecticut Sun knew that Marina Mabrey fit their roster on paper. When they acquired the guard in a trade with the Chicago Sky back in July, they were excited to land an offensive threat who could facilitate, space the floor and provide a much-needed dose of three-point shooting.
But what they could not know was how well she would fit their roster in real life. Mabrey is a fiery, passionate spark plug with a healthy appreciation for trash talk, and she was joining a group that already had several players who met that description. (Including some whom Mabrey had a bit of history with.) There was also a real chance the sharpshooter would need to come off the bench on her new team.
