Julie Allemand

Plenty has changed since Julie Allemand last took the full-season WNBA stage in 2022, but all it took was one heads-up drive to the rim to confirm that her all-seeing court vision wasn’t one of them. Speedy in her attack during a pick-and-roll drive, Los Angeles’ Belgium-born floor general catches Satou Sabally in a ball-watching daze, leaving her perfectly positioned to hit her cutting teammate for an over-the-rim reverse finish. The Phoenix Mercury eventually prevailed, absorbing an 18-point deficit in stride during a road comeback victory over their Western Conference foes. Allemand, though, put on a clinic in how to impact the game without a single score, steadying the L.A. Sparks with five rebounds, six assists, and one steal in 35 minutes of action.
