Chicago Sky Re-Signs Veteran Guard Perkins

Chicago Sky Head Coach and General Manager Bo Overton announced today that the team has re-signed veteran guard Jia Perkins to a three-year contract.

"We are thrilled that she will remain in the lineup," said Overton. "In her two seasons with the Sky, she has emerged as a team leader on and off the court, and we look forward to the ways her game will develop in the years ahead."

"I'm excited to stay in Chicago," said Perkins. "It's been my home for the past two seasons and I look forward to spending the next few years with Sky teammates, staff, and fans. And I want to continue to help build a great team and bring a WNBA Championship to Chicago."

 
 
Nice going Sky! No beating around the bush... CHI gives Jia a great commitment with that 3-year contract. Well deserved.. Cool Jia was golden last season and didn't even complain about coming off the bench!

If she continues to play like she did last year then its a great move for the Sky.  If she regresses to the 2006 Jia (where she was average at best) then it might not look so rosy.
 
However, I didn't realize she was as young as she was, so I'm willing to think that she's just getting better with experience, as opposed to a fluke career year.

I'd agree that it's not fluke. She's been pouring in the points overseas this winter.
 
Now must go celebrate the good news.

Glad to have Jia back on the team.  We need her scoring and ball handling skills.
