On the Lynx\u2019s run to the WNBA Finals last season, Williams was repeatedly asked, mostly in jest, if she was ready to embrace her new title of \u201cpoint guard\u201d yet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cCourtney has a very natural disposition that is happy. It\u2019s real, it\u2019s authentic,\u201d Reeve added. \u201cShe comes the same every day, and when she doesn\u2019t you\u2019re worried … well, that [she] didn\u2019t get enough sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
