A WNBA analyst has shown concerns over star center Aliyah Boston despite her decent performance against the Toronto Tempo. The Indiana Fever won the game 113-91. Boston scored 18 points as well in the game, but couldn't impress the analyst with her play.
WNBA analyst Rosalina Lee talked about the 2023 Rookie of the Year in her latest YouTube video, saying that although Boston was impressive, she didn't really seem to be as aggressive.
"Aliyah Boston, she also almost dropped a 20-piece, coming away with a double-double, 18 points and 11 rebounds. I don't know why her game wasn't as loud as it usually is," Lee said on June 17.

She later talked about how she read the game well, having 11 rebounds, with nine defensive rebounds and two offensive rebounds. She also talked about how Boston read the game well, making two blocks and two steals in the game as well. Amid the performance, Lee said that it didn't make an impact on her.
"Now, she did do a lot of reads. She cleaned up the glass well. She obviously dropped 18 points, but yeah, I don't know. It was something about her game that really wasn't putting down like a significant impact in my mind visually," Lee added.
Reporter Tony East also talked about Boston's performance, saying that Boston, at times, took advantage of Brittney Sykes being hurt and out of the game, posting a "high-teens point game."
Amidst the analysis, Boston has been crucial for the Fever this season, with the Fever finally gaining momentum.
