Managing Partner 

Robert Sarver, 47, who became the youngest person ever to found a national bank at the age of 23, 

grew up a Suns fan and attended games as a youth at Veterans Memorial Coliseum after receiving 

tickets as birthday gifts from Donald Diamond, one of the original owners along with Richard 

Bloch and Donald Pitt. 

The self-made entrepreneur embarked on another challenge as the new majority owner of the 

Phoenix Suns in 2004-05 and the Suns enjoyed unparalleled success as the club tied a franchise 

record with an NBA-best 62 wins and posted what was then the third-greatest turnaround in 

league history (33-game improvement). Since taking ownership of the Suns, Phoenix has a cumulative 

regular season record of 332-160 (.675), trailing only the Dallas Mavericks (341-151, .693) and 

San Antonio Spurs (340-152, .691) over the same span (2004-10). He currently serves on the NBA‘s 

Board of Governors and Advisory Finance Committee, as well as the Labor Relations Committee. 

He is also the majority owner of the Phoenix Mercury, one of the eight original WNBA franchises. 

The Mercury has won two WNBA Championships under Sarver (2007, 2009). The Mercury has set 

WNBA records for scoring average in four of the last five seasons (2006, 2007, 2009, 2010), and has 

led the league in scoring in a WNBA-record five consecutive seasons. 

He is currently Chairman and CEO of Western Alliance Bancorporation, a $5.7 billion bankholding company doing business 

in Arizona, California, Nevada and Colorado. He is also the co-founder of Southwest Value Partners (SVP), a real estate and investment 

company, since 1990. 

A 1979 graduate of Sabino High School in Tucson, Sarver spent the first 35 years of his life in Arizona and has returned after 

living in San Diego. Sarver has demonstrated a commitment to community and philanthropic contributions, and has helped raise over 

$3 million for Phoenix Suns Charities since taking ownership of the club in 2004. Recently, Sarver and his wife Penny have been instrumental 

in helping to build the Children‘s Museum of Phoenix. 

Sarver sits on the Board of Trustees of the Sarver Heart Center at the University of Arizona, which he helped build in memory 

of his late father, Jack, who was among the first in an experimental group to undergo heart bypass surgery. The center now 

houses over 40 physicians and researchers dedicated to fighting heart disease. He is also on the board of the Weil Foundation, which 

supports integrative medicine. 

Introduced to the banking industry at 16, he worked part time at the end of his school day as a mortgage loan agent and internal 

auditor at American Savings for his late father, a well-known banker and hotel owner. A 1982 graduate of the University of 

Arizona, Sarver earned his bachelor‘s degree in business administration, and became a certified public accountant in 1983. 

He currently serves as director of SkyWest Airlines and Phoenix-based Meritage Corporation. 

A lifelong sports fan, Sarver‘s quest to purchase an NBA team began with a conversation with former University of Arizona 

basketball coach Lute Olson, a friend of Sarver‘s since 1980. Olson referred Sarver to Steve Kerr, a former player at Arizona, to assist 

him in buying an NBA franchise. Sarver eventually named Kerr the club‘s President of Basketball Operations and General Manager in 

June 2007. 

During his first date with his eventual wife, Penny Sanders, he invited her to watch the NCAA Basketball Tournament at his 

house. He and his wife, a Kansas City, Mo. native, have three boys: Max, Jake and Zach.


President and CEO, Phoenix Suns 

The 2009-10 season marks Rick Welts‘ eighth season with the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix 

Mercury organization and his first as the club‘s president and chief executive officer after being 

named to the post on April 30, 2009. Welts, who served seven seasons as the team‘s president and 

chief operating officer after joining the franchise in July 2002, supervises all business operations of 

the Suns and oversees the club‘s interests in the management of US Airways Center and the Phoenix 

Mercury. 

Welts previously served successful stints in professional basketball with the NBA league 

office and the Seattle SuperSonics. His association with the NBA office spanned from 1982-99 until 

he departed as the league‘s executive vice president, chief marketing officer and president of NBA 

Properties. Welts helped guide the revitalization of the league and its image through strong marketing 

initiated by the NBA and he is credited with the creation of the NBA All-Star Weekend concept 

in 1984, now a league highlight and a standard in both the National Hockey League and Major 

League Baseball. 

He was also responsible for the 1992 Olympics ―Dream Team‖ marketing program as the 

agent for USA Basketball. In 1998, Brandweek magazine named Welts ―Marketer of the Year‖ for his role in creating and launching the 

WNBA. It was an honor he shared with former WNBA President Val Ackerman. In 2006, he was named the winner of the Splaver/ 

McHugh ―Tribute to Excellence‖ Award, given annually by the NBA Public Relations Directors‘ Association to a former member of 

the NBA public relations family who has demonstrated an outstanding level of performance and service during his or her career. 

During his tenure at the NBA office Welts supervised league departments including corporate sponsorship and media sales, 

consumer products, media relations, community relations, team services, special events, creative services, and retail including the 

NBA Store and the ―NBA City‖ restaurant. He was also responsible for the NBA‘s international business activities, from placing preseason 

games in foreign countries to opening the league‘s first international office in Australia to supervising six regional offices and 

75 international employees in Asia, Europe, Australia, Mexico and Canada. 

Recruited in 1982 by David Stern, then the NBA‘s executive vice president for business and legal affairs, Welts joined the 

NBA as director of national promotions for NBA Properties (NBAP). He established the corporate sponsorship department for the 

league and in 1983 was named vice president of marketing, NBAP. When Stern became NBA commissioner in February 1984, he promoted 

Welts to vice president, marketing and communications. Four years later he was promoted again to president of NBA Properties, 

responsible for virtually all the league‘s off-court revenue businesses and marketing activities. He added the title of NBA executive 

vice president and chief marketing officer in 1996. 

Welts entered the world of the NBA in 1969 as a ball boy for the Seattle SuperSonics. He remained with the Sonics for 10 

years in several different capacities, including director of public relations during Seattle‘s back-to-back trips to the NBA Finals and the 

club‘s lone NBA Championship in 1979. 

Following his stint with the Sonics he moved in 1979 to Bob Walsh & Associates, one of the first sports marketing firms in the 

United States. As vice president, he was involved in creating the first sports subscription cable service (Sonics SuperChannel) as well 

as representing athletes in the NBA, MLB and NFL. 

Welts left the NBA in June 1999 to become president of Fox Sports Enterprises, a new entity that managed Fox interests in 

facilities and sports teams including the Los Angeles Dodgers, Dodger Stadium, STAPLES Center, the Los Angeles Kings, Madison 

Square Garden, the New York Knicks and New York Rangers. 

In June 2001 along with two partners, Casey Wasserman and Gary Stevenson, Welts became a partner in a sports consulting 

firm, ONSPORT. Prior to that start-up venture he served as president for one year of ―First In Line,‖ a joint venture between USA 

Network‘s TicketMaster & SFX. 

A native of Seattle, Welts attended the University of Washington.

President, General Manager, Mercury 

Vice President, Suns 

One of the true pioneers in women‘s basketball, Hall of Famer and award-winning broadcaster 

Ann Meyers Drysdale is completing her fourth season as General Manager of the two-time 

WNBA Champion Phoenix Mercury (2009,2007). Meyers Drysdale was named the third General 

Manager in Mercury history on Tuesday, September 12, 2006 and added the title of president in 

late June of this season. 

Enshrined into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. as a player in 

1993, Meyers Drysdale‘s basketball resume spans over four decades after becoming the first high 

school player ever to make a United States National Team in 1974. 

As an amateur, Meyers Drysdale was the first woman to receive a full athletic scholarship 

from UCLA. The UCLA basketball legend was a four-time Kodak All-American, the first male or 

female to achieve that honor. Upon graduation, Meyers Drysdale held 12 of 13 school records and 

led the Bruins to a national championship in 1978. Meyers Drysdale, who was the first female to be 

named to the school‘s Athletic Hall of Fame and had her jersey No. 15 retired, also competed in 

volleyball and won a national championship in track in 1975. 

An outstanding all-around player, the 5-9, 140-pound guard represented the United States in the 1976 Olympics, 1975 and 

‘79 Pan American Games and the 1975 and ‘79 World Championships. She earned a silver medal as part of the first women‘s US 

Olympic Basketball team at the Montreal Games in 1976. 

Meyers Drysdale remains the only female ever to sign a free-agent contract with an NBA team when she signed with the 

Indiana Pacers in 1979. After being released by the Pacers, she provided color commentary for Pacers broadcasts and was the first 

woman to broadcast an NBA game. 

The first player drafted in the Women‘s Professional Basketball League (WBL) in 1978, Meyers Drysdale resumed her playing 

career for the New Jersey Gems, where she was named MVP after leading the league in steals and averaging 22.2 points. She also 

took home the title as one of only two women to win the ABC Sports Superstars competition three years in a row from 1981 – 1983 

and was the only woman to participate in the men‘s competition. 

Most recently, Meyers Drysdale has established herself as an expert analyst on ESPN, NBC, ABC, FOX Sports and CBS and 

has done commentary for men‘s and women‘s basketball, softball, tennis, volleyball and baseball since 1979. Meyers Drysdale‘s illustrious 

broadcasting resume includes the 1984, 2000, 2004 and 2008 Summer Olympics as well as a stint as a broadcaster for the 1988-89 

Loyola Marymount men‘s basketball team, coached by former Mercury Head Coach Paul Westhead and featuring Mercury Head 

Coach Corey Gaines, a guard on the team. Meyers Drysdale is also a frequent contributor to WNBA.com. Her incredible sports journalism 

contributions were recently honored as the 2006 winner of the United States Sports Academy‘s (USSA) Ronald Reagan Media 

Award, joining an elite group of winners that includes Howard Cosell, Bob Costas, Keith Jackson, Frank Deford and Rupert Murdoch. 

In her role as President and General Manager, Meyers Drysdale is in charge of all basketball operations, including player 

procurement, scheduling, and management of the league‘s salary cap. 

Meyers Drysdale has five sisters and five brothers, including brother Dave Meyers, who also played college basketball at 

UCLA, under legendary coach John Wooden and won two NCAA Championships with teammate Bill Walton. He played five seasons 

(1975-80) for the Milwaukee Bucks after being one of four players traded from the Los Angeles Lakers for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 

in 1975. 

In 1986, she married former Los Angeles Dodgers Hall of Fame pitcher Don Drysdale and took the name Ann Meyers Drysdale. 

It was the first time that a married couple was members of their respective sports‘ Hall of Fame. The Southern Californian native 

and Drysdale, who passed away in 1993, have three children together: sons Don Jr. (D.J.) and Darren, and daughter Drew.

Head Coach 

A 21-year veteran of fastbreak basketball on the collegiate, professional and international 

levels, Corey Gaines is completing his third season as head coach of the Phoenix Mercury. Gaines 

was named the club‘s seventh head coach on Nov. 7, 2007. 

Gaines garnered the promotion to the head spot after serving under mentor and former 

head coach Paul Westhead for two seasons as the top assistant in charge of an offense that set 

WNBA records for scoring average in both 2006 (87.1) and 2007 (89.0). With Gaines on the sideline, 

the Mercury has led the league in scoring in five consecutive seasons and has set WNBA scoring 

records in four of the last five seasons, including 2010 (93.9 ppg). 

In his first season as head coach, Gaines led the Mercury to a 16-18 record, narrowly missing 

a postseason berth in the highly-competitive Western Conference. In 2009, the Mercury was the 

first team to secure a playoff spot and entered the postseason as the WNBA‘s top-seeded team. 

Gaines led the team to the WNBA Finals, where the Mercury defeated the Indiana Fever in five 

games to hoist the 2009 championship trophy at US Airways Center on Oct. 9, 2009. 

As a collegiate athlete, the Los Angeles native spent his first three seasons at UCLA alongside 

Reggie Miller before transferring to Loyola Marymount in 1986 to play for former Mercury 

Head Coach Paul Westhead, who coached Phoenix to its first WNBA title in 2007. Gaines learned the fastbreak offense under the 

―Guru of Go‖ during the 1986-87 season while redshirting at LMU before becoming the starting point guard the following season and 

helping to engineer a 26-game win streak as a teammate of Bo Kimble and Hank Gathers. 

Originally selected by the Seattle Supersonics in the third round (65 th overall) of the 1988 NBA Draft, Gaines spent five seasons 

with five different NBA teams, earning a trip to the 1994 NBA Finals with the New York Knicks. Gaines played 12 years internationally, 

including a stint as the starting point guard with Scavalini in Italy playing against a Benetton team, which was coached at the 

time by former Phoenix Suns Head Coach Mike D‘Antoni. 

The well-traveled 45-year-old re-joined Westhead in the ABA with the Long Beach Jam in 2003, serving as a player and an 

assistant coach before taking over as head coach and leading the team to a championship. Gaines coached a squad with six current 

and former NBA players including Matt Barnes (Orlando Magic), Matt Carroll (Dallas Mavericks), Yuta Tabuse and Dennis Rodman.

Assistant Coach 

Julie Hairgrove is completing her sixth season with the Phoenix Mercury after spending the previous 

two seasons as an assistant coach at Loyola Marymount University. 

Prior to becoming an assistant at Loyola Marymount, Hairgrove played point guard at the University 

of Arizona. In four seasons, Hairgrove was a four-year starter and led her team to the NCAA tournament 

each year. She led the Wildcats as a team captain for three seasons. 

Besides playing basketball, Hairgrove worked as an assistant coach at Lute Olson‘s basketball camps 

and served on the Student-Athlete Advisory Board. She completed her bachelor‘s degree in social 

and behavioral sciences in communication and minored in business. 

Hairgrove is the granddaughter of NCAA Hall of Famer and former University of Arizona coach Lute 

Olson. She and her husband Mike are the proud parents of three daughters, Madison (4), Hailey (2) 

and newborn Grace (April 2010). 

Director of Basketball Operations 

Bridget Pettis is completing her 10th season with the Mercury as a front office executive, coach or 

player. Pettis begins her first season as Director of Basketball Operations after serving as an assistant 

coach the previous three seasons. In her new capacity, Pettis is responsible for player development, 

scouting and team administrative duties. 

A nine-year veteran of the WNBA, Pettis was an original member of the inaugural Mercury 

club in 1997, selected by the team with the seventh pick in the 1997 Elite Draft. The University of 

Florida product played in a club-record 154 consecutive games from 1997-2001 and owns career averages 

of 6.2 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists in 228 career games. 

Pettis, who returned to play for the Mercury in 2006 before retiring midway through the 

season, was honored along with former teammates Michele Timms and Jennifer Gillom and former 

coach Cheryl Miller with a banner that hangs permanently in US Airways Center. The ceremony was 

held at halftime of the Mercury‘s June 6, 2006 game vs. Sacramento. 

Pettis played 14 years internationally in Italy, Turkey and Spain.

THE SCORING MACHINE 

Averaging 93.9 points per game, the 2010 Mercury led the league in scoring for an unprecedented fifth straight season and set a new 

WNBA record for scoring for the fourth time in five seasons. The only other team to lead the league in scoring in consecutive seasons, 

the 2001-02 Los Angeles Sparks, won back-to-back WNBA Championships.

It‘s no secret that the Mercury was the league‘s most potent offensive team averaging 93.9 points per game, but here‘s an interesting 

way to put that scoring prowess into perspective: In a 48-minute game the Mercury would have averaged 110.2 points per outing, 

matching the 2010 NBA-leading Suns who averaged 110.2 points per game. 

CENTURY NIGHTS 

On August 6 vs. San Antonio, the Mercury recorded its 10 th 100-point performance of the season, breaking its 2009 

WNBA record for most 100-point games in a single season (9). 

BACK-TO-BACK CENTURY NIGHTS 

The Mercury recorded back-to-back 100-point performances NINE times in franchise history with THREE of those occurrences taking 

place in 2010. 

THE BEST X 2 

The Mercury reached triple digits in scoring TEN times in 2010, but two of those 100-point nights were especially noteworthy. The 

league‘s highest scoring team set a new WNBA record for scoring in back-to-back contests with 123 points at Tulsa on July 22 and 

then topped that performance with 127 points in a double overtime win at Minnesota two days later. The two-game total of 250 points 

is the most ever in WNBA history, eclipsing the previous mark of 221 set by Phoenix earlier in the same season. 

90-POINT NIGHTS 

The Mercury scored at least 90 points in 21 games (14-7). The league‘s highest scoring offense reached the 90-point plateau in seven 

consecutive games from July 1-24, the most in WNBA history. Phoenix reached six consecutive games three other times in franchise 

history and is the only team in the league to do so. 

THE NEED FOR SPEED 

The Mercury scored at least 90 points in 11 of 12 games from July 1 – August 6 and finished 9-3 in the span. However, the league‘s 

fastest offense was slowed considerably scoring just 80.8 points per game in its subsequent four game losing streak. Phoenix was 1-12 

in 2010 when scoring less than 90 points. Take a look at some crucial stats leading to Phoenix‘s wins and losses:

FG% .513 .438 

3PT% .387 .340 

PTS IN PAINT 47.2 37.5 

FAST BREAK PTS 17.7 13.9 

The Mercury raced to a WNBA-record 69 first half points vs. Minnesota on July 29 topping its previous record of 67 set earlier in the 

year at Tulsa on July 22. To put that astonishing number in perspective, in 134 WNBA games prior to that performance, 56 teams did 

not score more than 69 points in the entire game! 

SCREECHING HALT 

The league‘s fastest offense came to a screeching halt in New York on August 14 when the Liberty held the Mercury to just 69 points. 

It tied the third lowest output since the club adopted an up-tempo offensive style in 2006 and is the lowest point total since June 13, 

2007 when the club scored 69 at Washington. To put the number in perspective. Phoenix scored 69 points in the FIRST HALF earlier in 

the season vs. Minnesota.

BOMBS AWAY! 



One of the signature qualities of ―The System‖ that caused the Mercury to lead the league in scoring for the fifth consecutive season is 

the number of shots attempted per game. ―The more you take, the more you make‖ as the saying goes. The 2010 club was definitely 

holding true to that mantra. Phoenix averaged a league-record 33.8 made field goals per game, and 71.5 field goal attempts per 

game, the fourth most in WNBA history. The same held true from the three point line. 

NOT JUST SHOOTING…MAKING 

The Mercury didn‘t just shoot the ball a lot, they made a lot too. Led by Candice Dupree‘s WNBA-leading 66.4% shooting from the 

field, Phoenix led the league in field goal percentage making 47.3% of its shots, the highest mark in franchise history (.460, 2009). 

The performance was due in large part to five players ranking in the top 40 in the league in field goal percentage:

Highlighted by a franchise-record 21-for-21 performance from the free throw line on July 6 at Los Angeles and a perfect 15-for-15 

showing on July 17 vs. Tulsa, the Mercury led the league in free throw percentage for the season shooting 84.8%, the second best 

season effort in league history (.855, Phoenix, 2009). Three players ranked in the top 10 in the league in free throw shooting were 

major contributors, paced by Diana Taurasi who matched a league record with a 14-of-14 performance from the line on July 24 at Minnesota:

Phoenix recorded a franchise-record 30 assists in TWO games during the 2010 season and dished out at least 25 assists SEVEN times 

(7-0). Thanks to a trio of guards who ranked in the top 10 in the league in assists – Temeka Johnson, Penny Taylor and Diana Taurasi – 

the Mercury led the league with a WNBA-record 20.2 assists per game. 

“SCOOT IN CLOSER!” 

The league‘s leader in field goal percentage may have found a secret weapon to shooting such a great percentage. In the eight games 

prior to its matchup with Indiana on August 8, the club increased its scoring in the paint by 17 points per game. Here‘s a look at how

JUNE SHOWERS BRING JULY FLOWERS 


44 


June proved to be a difficult month for the defending champions as the Mercury posted just a 3-8 record, but like the two championship 

seasons (2007, 2009) July was the best month of the year as the club averaged 105.3 points per game on its way to a 6-3 record. In 

2007 and 2009 June was the worst month of the summer as the teams combined for an 11-10 (.524) record. In both seasons, however, 

the drought was immediately followed by the season‘s best month with a combined 16-5 (.762) record in July. Here‘s a look at the 

team‘s performance by month in 2010:

The Mercury‘s six-game losing streak from June 18 – July 1 was the longest setback in a single season since July 2-25, 2003 when the 

club lost a franchise-record seven consecutive games. It was certainly not an insurmountable hole, however. Four teams in WNBA 

history have overcome seven-game losing streaks to eventually make the playoffs including a WNBA Finals appearance by the Charlotte 

Sting in 2001. Below is a look at those four teams and how they finished the season.

Washington 2002 7 Games 17-15 (3 rd Place) First Round 

New York 2007 7 Games 16-18 (4 th Place) First Round 

The Mercury defeated Los Angeles 78-77 in its season opener on May 15. In the 14-year history of the franchise, every season in which 

the Mercury has won its season opener, the club has qualified for the playoffs. Conversely, every season in which the Mercury has lost 

its season opener, the club did not qualify for the playoffs.


THREE STRAIGHT LOSSES 


On June 25 the Mercury fell to the Connecticut Sun for the second time in six days and dropped its third consecutive game of the season. 

The three-game setback snapped a streak of 58 consecutive regular season games without losing three straight for Phoenix dating 

back to July 10-15, 2008. On July 1 the Washington Mystics handed the Mercury its third consecutive loss at home, snapping a streak 

of 74 consecutive games in the Valley of the Sun without losing three straight dating back to the end of the 2005 season and the beginning 

of 2006. 

EARLY SIGNS OF SUCCESS? 

Did you know that in the past two seasons, the Mercury is 24-9 when leading at halftime? In 2009 Phoenix was 13-2 when leading at 

the break and the club was 11-7 on such occasions in 2010. 

IT’S NOT OVER TIL ITS OVER 

Thanks to ―The System‖ you can‘t count the Mercury out until the final buzzer sounds. In four losses in 2010, the club showed its 

resiliency by overcoming double-digit fourth-quarter deficits to nearly steal the win and on July 24 the Mercury trailed Minnesota by 

as many as 14 in the fourth quarter and eventually won in double overtime. Here‘s a breakdown of those comebacks.

MAYHEM IN MINNESOTA 

2010 Mercury Comebacks 

*indicates the Mercury took the lead 

In arguably one of the most exciting WNBA games of the season, Phoenix defeated Minnesota on July 24, 127-124, in double overtime 

setting a new WNBA scoring record for the second consecutive game and the third time this season. In the process the two teams 

combined for a league-record 251 points and the Mercury broke its own league record with 47 made field goals. Diana Taurasi also 

scratched the record books with a perfect 14-of-14 effort from the free throw line, matching the WNBA record held by Lisa Leslie 

(2000) and Tamika Catchings (2009). 

OH, WHAT A DAY 

On Wednesday, July 14 the WNBA featured four matinee games across the country including an epic matchup in Phoenix where the 

Mercury took on the Storm. Due to playing in the Pacific time zone it was expected to finish later than the other three afternoon contests, 

but it carried on longer than anticipated as the two clubs battled in a triple overtime thriller. Tying four other bouts as the second 

longest game in WNBA history (Washington and Seattle played four overtime periods in 2001), the teams combined to break and 

threaten several other records: 

DIANA TAURASI‘s 44 points was a US Airways Center record and tied for the third most in WNBA history, falling just 

three points shy of her own record set in a triple overtime game at Houston in 2006. It also marked her third career 40-point 

effort surpassing the previous league best of two. 

Taurasi attempted 33 field goals, matching her own league record from that 2006 marathon, and made 16, the second most in 

franchise history. 

CANDICE DUPREE and PENNY TAYLOR logged two of the longest outings in franchise history. Dupree matched the franchise 

record with 52 minutes while Taylor tied the second most with 51. 

The Mercury set a franchise record for most field goal attempts in a game with 98 and appeared to eclipse the league record 

until the Storm recorded 100 attempts. The two teams combined for 198 attempts, 10 more than the previous league record 

set in the Phoenix-Houston game.

SHOCK-ING PERFORMANCES 


46 


In three of the four games vs. Tulsa, the Mercury tied or broke 22 WNBA and franchise records. On May 25 the Mercury defeated 

Tulsa 110-96, tying or breaking ten WNBA and franchise records in the process, on June 12 Phoenix scored a then-WNBA record 116 

points in a 116-84 rout of the Shock and on July 22 the Mercury set six more records including a league-best 123 points. The table below

#Phoenix later broke this record with 69 points in the first half against Minnesota on July 29. 

^The Mercury made 47 field goals two days later at Minnesota and repeated the performance vs. the Lynx on July 29. 

FREE RECORD! 

Tulsa isn‘t the only team to feel the wrath of the Mercury‘s record-setting performances in 2010. On July 6 at Los Angeles, Phoenix 

made a franchise-best 21-for-21 from the free throw line, matching the third best performance in WNBA history. Five players contributed 

to the effort led by Diana Taurasi‘s 8-for-8 showing.


DYNAMIC DOUBLE-DOUBLES 


The Mercury as a team recorded TWENTY double-doubles and led the league with SIX different players tallying at least one. Forward 

CANDICE DUPREE led the team with SEVEN while guard/forward DEWANNA BONNER followed with FOUR and guard 

TEMEKA JOHNSON recorded THREE. DIANA TAURSI recorded back-to-back double-doubles on August 1-3 giving her SEVEN 

for her career while forward/center TANGELA SMITH recorded TWO giving her 18 for her career. Penny Taylor picked up her 

FIRST of 2010 and FIFTH of her career on August 17 at Los Angeles.

After joining the Mercury on July 23 as part of a midseason acquisition, KARA BRAXTON played in just over 17 minutes per game 

off the bench, the seventh most on the team. However, she seems to make the most of her time. For the season Braxton averaged 23.5 

points per 40 minutes, SIXTH most in the WNBA. 

AS DUPREE GOES SO THE MERCURY GOES 

It didn‘t take long for forward CANDICE DUPREE to become a vital role in deciding the outcome of Mercury games. In 15 wins 

Dupree averaged 19.3 points and 9.0 rebounds per game, compared to 12.9 points and 6.4 rebounds in 19 losses. 

JULY’S BEST? 

Mercury forward CANDICE DUPREE opened the month of July by recording season highs in scoring in three consecutive games (vs. 

Washington, vs. New York, at Los Angeles), averaging 24.0 points and 10.0 rebounds while shooting 69.0% from the field, and that 

was just the beginning. In NINE games during the month of July, Dupree topped her previous season high in scoring FIVE times, 

including a career-high 32 points at Minnesota on July 24, averaging 22.3 points on 69.7% shooting. Averaging 9.3 rebounds, she also 

recorded THREE double-doubles giving her SIX for the season and 34 for her career.

MERCURY PLAYERS OF THE WEEK 


48 


Rewarded for winning seven of nine games from July 3 – August 1 a Mercury player won three of four Player of the Week awards 

including two consecutive from DIANA TAURSI on July 26 and August 2. CANDICE DUPREE started it off with her third career 

weekly honor on July 12. Overall, the Mercury collected four Player of the Week honors in 2010 and 25 in franchise history (19 since 

2006). 

DUPREE = PLAYER OF THE WEEK 

On July 12 CANDICE DUPREE earned her third career Player of the Week honor and the first as a member of the Western Conference. 

Dupree twice won the award as a member of the Chicago Sky. Her first such honor as a member of the Mercury was awarded 

for her performance in a 98-89 win at Los Angeles in which she scored a then-season-high 25 points and grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds, 

her fourth double-double of the season and 32 nd of her career. The league‘s leader in field goal percentage went 11-for-17 

(.647) from the field and a perfect 3-for-3 from the free throw line. 

PLAYER OF THE WEEK X3 

Reigning WNBA MVP DIANA TAURASI was named the Western Conference Player of the Week three times in 2010, including two 

consecutive weeks on July 26 and August 2. She has won the award 13 times in her career, the fourth most by a single player in 

WNBA history. 

TAN’S TENURE 

In her 13 th WNBA season, TANGELA SMITH became the WNBA‘s all-time leader in career games played surpassing Vickie Johnson 

on August 13 with her 411 th game. Smith was originally selected with the 12 th overall pick (second round) of the 1998 WNBA Draft by 

the Sacramento Monarchs and was later acquired by the Mercury on April 4, 2007 as part of a draft-day blockbuster trade. From 2005- 

06, Smith played for the Charlotte Sting. 

Tan‘s longevity has placed her near the tops of several WNBA all-time statistical categories. Among those, on June 1 at Minnesota, 

Tan became just the fourth player in league history to record 4,500 points and 2,000 rebounds in a career and on July 3 she surpassed 

Sheryl Swoopes for fifth all-time on the WNBA career scoring list and surpassed Margo Dydek for sixth all-time on the WNBA career 

rebounds list.

The WNBA held its All-Star weekend festivities on July 9-11 but a noticeable piece missing on the WNBA squad was Mercury guard 

TEMEKA JOHNSON who certainly made a respectable case for being a part of the weekend exhibition. Johnson averaged 9.2 points 

and 4.7 assists per game in her second season with the Mercury. Ranked T-EIGHTH in the league in assists per game, Meek dished 

out at least five assists in FIFTEEN games and recorded double-digit assists on THREE occasions, including a career-high 12 vs. 

Atlanta on June 29. Johnson had THREE double-doubles on the year, one more than her previous five years combined.
