MUNICH (EuroCup Women) – We check in with EuroCup Women Group G and see which players are ready to excel with Basket Landes, Lointek Gernika Bizkaia, Spar Citylift Girona and VBW CEKK Cegled.
Celine Dumerc (Basket Landes)
A legend of the European game and especially in her homeland, the second season for the playmaker at Landes could be even more influential than the first - especially after some injuries hit the club last year. A EuroCup Women winner in 2016 at Tango Bourges, Dumerc is a class act who will dominate defensively and pull the strings in her trademark way.
Maria Conde (Spar Citylift Girona)
There is so much anticipation surrounding the EuroCup Women debut of Spain's rising star, with Conde already accustomed to harvesting trophies from a stellar youth career for her country - and also that glorious and golden EuroBasket Women debut earlier this year. Now the real test has arrived as she tries translate her wing skills into the pro-game with Girona.
Aishah Sutherland (Lointek Gernika Bizkaia)
The energy which Sutherland can provide at both ends of the floor will provide the main fuel for the rookie EuroCup Women season of the Spanish side. She has the athleticism, scoring ability and experience to be their reference player after impressing last season in the competition at TTT Riga.
Dora Medgeyessy (VBW CEKK Cegled)
The player that makes the Hungarian side tick, Medgyessy was a star performer for Cegled during their sparkling rookie campaign when they made an unexpected deep run in the competition last year. A talented 3x3 baller as well, the guard will continue to orchestrate the plays, having also made the Hungary national team that competed at EuroBasket Women 2017.
Miranda Ayim (Basket Landes)
The ever-reliable Canada forward heads into the new season at Landes as an AmeriCup Women champion with her country. She is so adept at getting on with the business in hand and with great efficiency. Now in her third straight season in the tournament, you can expect the same kind of solid numbers and consistency that many other players can only dream of.
Nadia Colhado (Spar Citylift Girona)
This is surely one of the most interesting signings of the entire off-season as Girona go for the Brazilian center who will make her debut in the competition at 28-years-old. A former WNBA player and now with a season behind her at Gipuzkoa in Liga Femenina where she almost averaged a season double-double, it will be fascinating to see if she can make splash on the European scene.
Maria Pina (Lointek Gernika Bizkaia)
Pues aquí está mi uniforme para esta nueva temporada q envuelve ilusión, compromiso y trabajo @GKesb empezamos!!! pic.twitter.com/aX8bqrp5gB
— Maria Pina Tolosa (@MARIAPINATOLOSA) September 15, 2017
Pina probably doesn't get the credit she deserves for the amount of work she gets through on the hardwood, while she is also a big factor off the court because of her experience. She had a great first season with the club and she will be very important during this testing challenge of a maiden EuroCup Women voyage.
Nora Nagy-Bujdoso (VBW CEKK Cegled)
The Hungary national team forward had a blistering campaign during her team's stunning opening season in the competition. If she can get anywhere near a repeat this time around, more wins will be put on the board. Nagy-Bujdoso is versatile and contributes in so many different ways, that she can be hard to stop and is always a potential game-winner in waiting.
