The Tulsa Shock endured a difficult 2011 season, with Tiffany Jackson-Jones carrying the offense as the team’s leading scorer and rebounder while Ivory Latta handled primary playmaking duties. Veteran Sheryl Swoopes contributed secondary scoring and experience, and Kayla Pedersen emerged as a versatile frontcourt option. Although the Shock received solid rebounding from their interior players, inefficient offense and the league’s weakest defensive performance defined the season.
