Dominique Malonga became the French player drafted in WNBA in the highest position in a classic draft last night. The interior of the ASVEL was chosen in 2nd position by the Seattle Storm, where it will evolve with its partner in selection Gabby Williams.
Malonga, 19, wanted to highlight the pride that was his to represent France and its basketball.
“I am so proud to have arrived there, because it shows that French basketball has evolved. We have seen it in recent years in the NBA, with Victor Wembanyama or Zaccharie Risacher, who have shown people that French basketball was doing well. Now, with girls, and I in this case, we see that it is not only boys. It is French basketball. previously”.
Dominique Malonga also named the player she intends to draw on the most. She simply chose a triple MVP and WNBA champion.
“When I see playing A’ja Wilson today, this is the type of impact I want to have. We see it on the field, but also outside. I want this impact in WNBA, in Europe and wherever I play. I am excited at the idea of playing against everyone in this league, because most of the best in the world are there. I cannot quote someone.
Dominique Malonga will join his new team soon, with the intention of participating in the start of the season in WNBA, from May.
