MUNICH (EuroCup Women) – We check out some of the players to look out for in EuroCup Women Group B as Enisey, Mersin, Good Angels Kosice and MBK Ruzomberok countdown to the start of the Regular Season.
Bria Hartley - Mersin
Mersin have re-signed a WNBA quality player who provides them with a scoring touch and most importantly, continuity. Hartley enjoyed a productive first season at the club and is looking to pick up where she left off in 2016-17.

A walking poster for Lithuanian women's basketball, she has never played outside of her homeland. There is also the added dimension that the 24-year-old has not played in EuroCup Women previously. So, having been a double-double waiting to happen in the LMKL for years, this will perhaps now show what level she is truly at.
Miroslava Mistinova - MBK Ruzomberok
One of the brightest prospects in Slovak Republic, the forward just missed out on a senior tournament debut at FIBA EuroBasket Women 2017. She reacted well and her displays at U20 level afterwards were outstanding and the cornerstone of her country's promotion. Now we await her EuroCup Women debut with anticipation.
Devereaux Peters - Good Angels Kosice
A EuroLeague Women and WNBA performer, this looks to be a real coup for Kosice who will love her sweet finishing ability around the bucket. She should also be a big asset defensively. Devereaux might be a real difference-maker in the context of this group for her new team.
Marica Gajic - Mersin
You don't get drafted to the WNBA unless there's real potential and excitement in store and it's clear that Gajic is now ready to show it in EuroCup Women. She has already stepped up for Bosnia and Herzegovina on the senior stage and she has the skills and versatility to be a big favorite at Mersin after switching from Girne.
Jacinta Monroe - Enisey

Vastly experienced, yet Monroe has yet to play in EuroCup Women. But, she will make a belated appearance in the colors of Enisey this season. The Russian club have got themselves an ex-WNBA performer with strength and quick hands, so she will be a premier player for them. She has also just won a title in Paraguay.
Olga Yatskovets - MBK Ruzomberok
Even if she didn't get the chance to shine at FIBA EuroBasket Women 2017 when she was handed a chance of a first senior tournament outing, she made up for it with a stunning output at U20 level. With more than 21 points and 12 boards per game, she won herself a first pro-contract outside of Ukraine and might now surprise a few people.
Barbora Balintova - Good Angels Kosice
Balintova is no longer in the rising star category, but a bonafide proven EuroCup Women and national team performer with Good Angels Kosice and Slovak Republic, respectively. There will be a big onus on her to continue maturing and leading in the backcourt, so expect some influential offerings throughout the campaign.
