Dream rookie guard Shoni Schimmel may be struggling to find success on the court, but she’s found it off the court — with the fans.
Schimmel tops the league’s list of bestselling jerseys at WNBAStore.com since the start of the 2014 season, the WNBA announced Tuesday. The Dream claimed the No. 1 spot for top-selling merchandise. Schimmel’s jersey sells for $59.95 at the WNBAStore.com.
Schimmel has started two games and played in 20 of 21 games this season. The eighth overall draft pick in 2014, Schimmel’s successful college career at Louisville may have something to do with her continued popularity as a professional player. She ranks fifth in NCAA Division I history with 387 career 3-pointers.
As of Monday, Schimmel ranked sixth in the WNBA for 3-point attempts (86), but made only 28 and ranks 26th in 3-point percentage (32.6 percent).
