Dominique Malonga, a standout at 6-foot-6, was selected as the No. 2 overall pick by the Seattle Storm in the WNBA draft. At 19, she aims to showcase her skills on the court and represent French basketball's growth on the international stage, following in the footsteps of other notable French players.
As the first French female to dunk in a game and a versatile player with shooting abilities beyond the 3-point line, Malonga's success in FIBA competitions has prepared her for the WNBA. Joining a seasoned Storm roster, she looks forward to proving herself in the league and representing her heritage from Cameroon and Congo.
Malonga's eagerness to make an impact in the WNBA reflects her determination to elevate European basketball and demonstrate her talent on a global platform, marking a significant milestone for French basketball's evolution in both the men's and women's game.
