ATLANTA — The Atlanta Dream signed free-agent center Michelle Snow on Wednesday, adding a veteran presence to the second-year franchise.
The 6-foot-5 Snow averaged 9.7 points and 6.8 rebounds in seven seasons with the Houston Comets after the former University of Tennessee star was selected with the 10th overall pick in the 2002 WNBA draft.
Snow, a two-time All-Star, was regarded as one of the top available free agents in the offseason after the Comets folded in November.
"We are excited about adding an experienced post player to our roster," Dream general manager and coach Marynell Meadors said. "Snow is an extremely athletic center and we expect her to make an immediate impact for us."
The Dream finished 4-30 in their inaugural season last year, setting a league record for losses.
Snow will be reunited with former teammate Sancho Lyttle, who was selected by Atlanta with the first pick in the Comets dispersal draft in December.
