01.08Erin Thorn Signs with Chicago Sky
Point Guard from New York Liberty has Signed with Chicago
Announced Wednesday, Erin Thorn has signed a 2 year contract with the Chicago Sky. Thorn brings with her much needed postseason experience and leadership as coach Steven Keys continues to build a championship team.
Erin Thorn has a remarkable ability to get the ball inside and make plays happen which will prove valuable with the return of Sylvia Fowles. Thorn can also become a threat from the outside with her more than 50% shooting from the field during the 2008 postseason run by the Liberty allowing her to spread the floor and open up opportunities.
Thorn has been a key player in the success of the New York Liberty over the last 2 seasons. Selected by the New York Liberty in the second round (17th overall) of the 2003 WNBA Draft, Thorn finished the 2008 season shooting 34% from the field, 27% percent from beyond the arc, and 91% percent from the free throw line ranking 15th in the WNBA in free throw percentage. A dedicated veteran, Thorn improved her play on the court during the 2008 postseason playoffs shooting 58% percent from the field and 57% percent from beyond the arc.
