Happy for her. Many doubted her but I think she will have a good pro career.

I wonder if she has met Orly Grossman. The Israeli who played in UConn's first final four team.

I just watched most of the game. The style is so different from the WNBA or NCAAW, I'm not sure even how to compare them. It's very up-and-down, lots of quick shots, lots of airballs. On foul shots the shooting team doesn't generally have anyone contesting the rebound. They play defense, but it's not as tight and concerted as in the US.

It was entertaining, but it's difficult to get rapt up in it when you don't know the score, whom any foul is on, etc. Also the crowd was seemingly smaller than what would have been at my dinky high school.

Thanks to whoever posted it!

Thanks for that, I'm glad the Israeli fans appreciate her! She's in the top five in scoring and assists.

Thanks. It's certainly not the WNBA, but Saniya did some good things. She, apparently, was the game high scorer. I also enjoyed watching Danielle Adams of the CT Sun. If she could just eat right, she could be something special. All in all, very fun and much appreciated.

After 3 years of hip/physical issues, Saniya played a full senior year and appears to have maintained her health. Wonder what changed.

I'm glad the fans like her. Based on attendance at that game, it may be 25 fans or so, but every one counts, I guess.

She looks like she’s enjoying herself, which is the most important thing.

Saniya helped her team to the best record in the Israeli premier league. Her line:

19.7 ppg; 4.1 rpg; 5.2 apg; 2.0 spg; 2.6 TO. 4th in scoring and 4th in assists in the league.

53% 2-pt fg; 29% 3-pt; 84% FT.

I have no idea what their playoff format is, but Saniya knows how to win.
