From the Fairfield Tigers to the Auburn Tigers to the Phoenix Mercury.

Bonner, the fifth overall pick in WNBA draft, helped Phoenix to the best record in the league and a spot in the ongoing playoffs. Though she didn't start any of the 32 regular-season games, Bonner led the Mercury in rebounds with 5.8 a game and was third in scoring, at 11.2 points per game. Bonner's 196 rebounds set a record for a Phoenix rookie.

She led all WNBA rookies in double-doubles. She was first among rookies in rebounding and third among rookies in scoring. She was named rookie of the month in June.
