Las Vegas Aces point guard Chelsea Gray is more than just a \u201cbasic point guard\u201d. She is the WNBA\u2019s \u201cPoint God\u201d or as the Aces have crowned her,<\/a> \u201cPoint GAWDDDDD.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eleventh overall selection in the 2014 WNBA Draft has emerged into a bonafide star and an offensive threat on the floor. She seemingly visualizes her next two or three moves before they even happen (and definitely before opponents know what to expect). Behind the back pass from behind the basket? No problem. No-look dime from outside the arc? Walk in the park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI try to be that calm within the storm, whether it is a game of runs or in different quarters,\u201d Gray explained after Game 2 on Tuesday night.<\/a><\/strong> \u201cIt is not always me scoring, or getting assists to my name, it\u2019s calling the right plays and calming everyone down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her patience, flare, and most importantly her creativity have allowed her to reach the success she has had so far. It is a nightmare to defend. Just ask the Dallas Wings. In Game 2 of the 2023 WNBA Semifinals, CG was dialed-in. There are few in the League that are more terrifying with the ball in their hands in the fourth quarter than Las Vegas\u2019 offensive orchestrator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the Aces up by seven with just under five to play, the \u201cPoint Gawd\u201d herself took over. The five-time WNBA All-Star played a major role in 12 of Vegas\u2019 final 18 points, six of which were free throws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After accumulating five straight points herself, Gray found a wide-open Jackie Young in the paint for an easy score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
