ESPN’s Jonathan Givony reports Storm draft pick Dominique Malonga plans to join the team 2-3 weeks after her season in France concludes.
The second overall pick in Monday’s WNBA Draft, the 6-foot-6 Malonga, who is only 19 years old, possesses an incredibly high upside. However, she’ll finish her season with ASVEL Féminin in France before joining the Storm. ASVEL begins the quarterfinal round of its league tournament on Friday, and an early elimination would mean that Malonga would miss only a short period with the Storm. Training camp opens on April 27, and the regular season begins on May 16.
