The 27-year-old guard (as of January 2025), Jackie Young is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league.

In the 2022 championship run, Young was phenomenal for the Aces as she shot a terrific 47.4% from the deep and averaged 12.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.0 assists. The dynamic guard improved her numbers both on offense and defense in the 2023 playoffs leading the Aces to their second consecutive title. She averaged 16.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.6 steals per game in 2023 playoffs. (via Basketball Reference)

Before playing in the WNBA, Young played college basketball for Notre Dame and became the second-ever player to be drafted first overall from Notre Dame after Jewell Loyd. She won an Olympic gold medal for Team USA in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
