MUNICH (EuroLeague Women) – Russia national team duo Maria Vadeeva and Raisa Musina have received a boost ahead of next week’s Final Four in Sopron after being picked in the 2018 WNBA draft.
As expected, it was Vadeeva who led the way –although she did not get selected as high as some observers had expected, eventually taking the 11th spot via the Los Angeles Sparks.
That could mean teaming up with her Dynamo Kursk team-mate Nneka Ogwumike if she is available to play this summer.
Musina had to wait until the Second Round when she was picked up by Phoenix Mercury, with the UMMC Ekaterinburg forward selected behind Marie Gulich.
The German has turned heads Stateside with her displays for Oregon State and that resulted in her also getting the nod from the Mercury.
Czech Republic prospect Julia Reisingerova, who has been playing in Liga Feminina with Sant Adria, was the fourth and final European as the Los Angeles Sparks went for the center in the Third Round.
