Anna Makurat seems to be having a good year with her team as well.

You can find her game by game stats here: Anna Makurat Player Profile, Dinamo Sassari, News, Stats - Eurobasket

Her scoring is up and down, but her rebound and assist numbers are steady and good. However, she's (surprisingly...) recording a lot of turnovers.

I'm glad she's finding her footing and seems to have recovered from her string of injuries. Remember when she came back for her sophomore year (before her injury...) and she looked like she was in phenomenal shape? She looks like she's gotten back to that. Strong, lean, and her movements seem less cumbersome than they were when she arrived as a freshman.

I've loved following her this season and I'm happy she seems happy and back to playing well.
 
For those that are still up at 11pm EST, Saturday night.

Liv's team in Australia is about to start, free on You Tube!!

Melbourne v Bendigo

 
Gabby goes 17 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, a steal & a block (shooting 7/10, 1/1, 2/2) in the win over Lithuania (83-75)
Prioritization is still the word concerning Gab's future

Almost a whole day without anyone posting about Breanna joining Kiah at Fener:

Some will as they always have, but the money in Australia is not that great so players are generally giving up something in that department to play there.

Is it more than the WNBA pays?
 
In the game against France, Juste Jocyte had 15 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, shooting 6/7, 2/2., 1/2

Unless the WNBA is going to start paying more, I don't see the players turning down the money that the European leagues are offering. If you have enough high value players playing and staying to play in the playoffs, missing their cutoffs. It may just force the WNBA to move the season back instead of missing the play of people like Stewie and others.

Shared sentiments here!
 
KLS sister, Karlie, had a career scoring night for Townsville(Australia) of 31 points on 11 for 14 shooting overall(7/10 from 3 point territory) Townsville now holds onto 1st place with 4 games to go in regular season.

Liv is on the Melbourne Boomers and had 17 points and 10 rebounds in the game.

Highlight of Karlies shots.

Stewie's team in Turkey starting now. Euroleague v Valencia(Sp) 11am EST

France national preparation program for EuroCup has been revealed, Gabby will have to make a choice

To flesh that out a bit, our best understanding of how prioritization works:
-If Gabby's club team Lyon makes it to the French league finals (currently one of four teams that have separated themselves from the rest of the teams), she will not be allowed to play in the WNBA season because they cannot end before opening day.
-If Gabby participates in anything in the link above in May, then she is not allowed to play in the WNBA season.
-She is smart enough not to do this, but if she were under contract and left in May, she would not be allowed to play in either the rest of the 2023 season or any of the 2024 season.
-If she was under contract and she joined the national team within the two week window that is allowed, she would have to return to the team within 48 hours of France's last game or she would be done for 2023 and not able to play in 2024.
-If her club team does not make the finals, it might make sense for both her and Seattle to agree for her to sign with them in June after EuroBasket.

Prioritization is a bad rule for the WNBA

I guess Emma Meesseman will also miss the WNBA for the belgian national team

Julie Allemand, for the same reason?

She is choosing to sit out the season, but she is not subject to prioritization due to not being in the league long enough. She is under contract so if she was late, the team would have to carry her salary on the cap even if they were not paying her so both sides seemed to think that this was for the best. She has also battled injuries all season so some extended rest would probably help her.

Meesseman is different in the sense that she would have to avoid being with the Belgian national team in May if she wants to play in the WNBA this year, regardless of whether she has signed a contract. European stars generally feel that they are disrespecting their national team teammates by not participating in as much of pre-tournament training as possible.

Thanks for the information and explanations. Greatly appreciated.
I like Allemand and thought she would've fit in nicely as a change of page for the Sky.

Surprise, Marine Johannes has signed a contract with the Liberty that she might not be able
She is on the same team as Gabby
 
Perhaps is she willing to go in the W, passing the french playoffs, that's a choice

Pretty sure that she would not be able to do that. The WNBA and NBA have an agreement to abide by FIBA's Letter of Clearance system even though they are both unsanctioned leagues. Every time that a player moves between leagues in different countries that participate in the system, the national federation of previous team must provide a letter to the national federation of the new team that states that the player has completed all contract obligations.

Johannes has not been in the WNBA long enough to be subject to prioritization so she can arrange whatever she wants with the Liberty. Theoretically, both parties would have actually benefitted from her only signing once she is ready to report, but this seems to be their approach for now.
