NaLyssa Smith has loads of reasons to play her best basketball in Dallas in the upcoming season. Smith, a Texas-born, played her first three years of WNBA basketball away from her home in Indiana.

During her introductory press conference for the Dallas Wings, Smith was dressed in the city's vibe. When asked about the emotions of returning home after years, Smith said that playing in front of her family has been very exciting for her, and she would bring the same energy in the next season.

NaLyssa Smith played three seasons with the Indiana Fever before she was traded to the Wings in January earlier this year. Smith had a strong start in the WNBA, finishing third overall in the Rookie of the Year race, averaging 13.5 points per game. In her second year, she averaged 15.5 points and 9.2 rebounds per game.

However, in her third year, although Smith's efficiency got better, her minutes and so her numbers plummeted. She averaged 10.6 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, and her field attempts dropped by over four shots.
