Te-Hina Paopao has become a key rotational piece for Atlanta Dream

Te-Hina Paopao began her WNBA journey as a starter for the Atlanta Dream, lining up alongside veterans like Allisha Gray and Brittney Griner. She started the team’s first four games of the season and quickly earned praise for her consistent and impactful performances.

However, during her fourth outing, Paopao suffered a facial injury that sidelined her for the following game. Upon returning, she transitioned to a bench role but continued to log meaningful minutes and contribute effectively.

So far this season, the talented rookie guard is averaging 4.4 points per game while shooting an efficient 46.2% from the field, including 42.9% from 3-point range. She’s also contributing 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in just 13.5 minutes per game. Her efforts have been integral to the Dream’s 6-3 start.
