Storm's Flau'Jae Johnson shines, hits Brittney Griner with 'too small' in breakout game originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Flau'Jae Johnson played her first two WNBA games this weekend for the Seattle Storm after her stellar college career at LSU.
She's already showing growth from game one to game two.
While neither contest was particularly efficient, Johnson showed Sunday she could get to the line to help the Storm beat the Connecticut Sun.
She finished with 16 points on 3-for-10 shooting from the floor (1-for-3 from 3) with a 9-for-10 line at the foul line.
Johnson added six rebounds, an assist (one turnover), three steals and a block.
Maybe most telling is that Johnson was second on the Storm with a plus-11 for the game, behind just Dominique Malonga's plus-15.

The most fun part of her day wasn't any of that, though.
When Johnson drove right and scooped in a layup in the paint, she did so right past the all-time great center, Brittney Griner.
As Johnson ran back down the floor, she held her right hand, palm down, near the floor. She was hitting BG with the "too small" gesture.
It's the third clip in this video:
Everyone knew this already, but Flau'Jae certainly doesn't lack for confidence.
She'll keep improving as she goes, but it's been a solid start through two games, and the Storm have to be happy with what they've gotten after working a WNBA Draft trade to end up with Johnson on their team.
