You already got a player that can do exactly the same kind of dunk, only just in practice.

She played for Helmi last season. She did OK, but the team was extremely perimeter oriented (they took almost 900 three pointers in their 30 games).

This kid looks longer. 5 to 10 years from now she could be special!

Kuier turns 18 this year(D.O.B. is Aug. 1, 2001). She was born in Egypt and she & her family moved to Finland in 2003 during the civil war there. She plays for the Finnish national team as well. Couldn't find anything about if she's going to college come September. So maybe a 2020 draft pick?

Yes she did. The 2nd video is a better dunk than the 1st. You have to swipe left.

10 years? Who has that kind of patience?
She’s eligible in two years as long as she doesn’t join the NCAA. I can’t get overly excited over a practice dunk.

Barring any draft rules changes in a new CBA, 2001 born internationals will be in the 2021 Draft.
Here are her stats:
https://www.basket.fi/naisten-korisliiga/ottelut/pelaaja/?season_id=103781&player_id=5057901
She played for a team in Finland that only has young players and was their second leading scorer, 18th overall in the league. Their leading scorer is headed to Arizona State in the fall.
Here are the other leading scorers in the league:

Finland is not the strongest league out there, but there are plenty of recognizable names :

Historically, Finnish players opt for the NCAA if they can, but she is the most hyped in a while so it could be different for her. |

I forgot to ask people what they thought about draft-eligible guard Li Yuan of China after the Liberty game. There's a lot of development needed, but I can definitely see a team picking her. |

On Tuesday, June 18, I got the results back and it was a day I will never forget.
On this day, I was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer (Grade 3 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma). As of right now I am starting chemotherapy on Friday and will have to undergo surgery after treatment. |

2. Dallas Cox
3. Atl Carter (early entry, Chennedy and Angel damn)
4. Chi Mompremier (Sorry Chicago fans one last lottery)
5. Indy Hebard (to play PF next to McCowan)
6. Seattle Martin (the new Clark)
7. Minn Charles (perimeter fire power)
8. PX Holmes (the Anigee of 2020 putting the pieces togethet)
9. LA Cooper (deep run and maturing vaults her up the board)
10. Conn Dangerfield (The Sun need a back up)
11. Was Bella Alarie (mike T outside the box)
12. LV Harris (Young back to SF Plum offense off the bench)
Just for fun but I like it
