Chicago’s offense increasingly revolved around Dupree’s polished work on the block and in the mid-post, where Bo Overton trusted her to create quality looks late in possessions. Around the league she was already viewed as the franchise cornerstone, with opponents regularly sending extra help to limit her interior scoring while she continued to carry the expansion club’s half-court attack.
