Throughout the free agency process, new Los Angeles Sparks head coach Curt Miller has been searching for quality players both on and off the court. This led him to sign guard Jasmine Thomas and Dearica Hamby along with re-signing guard Lexie Brown.
“[Thomas], one of the most respected players in the league … She was my captain for all seven years in [the Connecticut Sun], obviously led us to great heights,” Miller said. “[Hamby] …support for her by her teammates, by the people around the league.”
During her career, Thomas averaged 9.6 points per game and has shot at 33.3 percent in three-pointers. Her abilities coincide with Miller’s desire to address the team’s three-point shooting capabilities. Thomas also played for Curt with the Connecticut Sun for the past seven seasons.
