Player Info

Nia Coffey, a forward for the Atlanta Dream, is an athletic and versatile player who brings energy and defensive versatility to the wing. The Northwestern University alum was a first-round pick in the 2017 WNBA Draft and has played for the San Antonio Stars/Las Vegas Aces, Phoenix Mercury, and Los Angeles Sparks before finding a home in Atlanta. Her game is built on her explosive leaping ability, which makes her a threat in transition and on the offensive glass. She has developed into a more consistent perimeter shooter, stretching defenses with her three-point shot. With the Dream, Coffey has taken on a larger role, often tasked with guarding the opponent's best forward. While still seeking her first major team honor, she has been a key part of Atlanta's rebuild into a playoff contender. Her athleticism and improving skill set make her a modern forward who can impact the game on both ends. Coffey's reputation is that of a high-flyer and a dedicated defender who continues to expand her offensive repertoire.
