She was faithful to herself. Humble, proud, smiling. Starting with tenderness his mother, for long seconds, on the stage of the Shed, in York, shortly after Cathy Engelbert, the owner of the WNBA -the North American female basketball league -, said his name.

Dominique Malonga, a Pivot de l’Asvel (Lyon-Villebanne), 19, considered the largest hexagonal promise, was chosen second in the WNBA draft on Monday evening by the Seattle Storm. Just behind another new , Paige Bueckers, 23, drafted in position by the Dallas Wings.

No Frenchwoman was also well ranked since Isabelle Fijalkowski in 1997, recruited at the time by Cleveland. It is a discussion with Tony Parker in person, after an meeting at INSEP, in 2019, where she scored around thirty points, which accelerated the trajectory of Malonga. “TP” immediately perceives his potential and offers to join his team without transition, ASVEL, one of the best in France.
