2021-22 Overseas Roster Reference

by

We usually try to keep track of what players need to be included in overseas stats listings under our criteria mentally, but we know that there is often interest in rosters so we have decided to keep a post updated with the lists that we have in our heads.  Players are not listed until they have played at least one game with the team and includes Americans, those who played scholastically in the United States, or those who played for, were drafted by, or signed a contract this offseason with a WNBA team.  If a player moves between teams on this list, then we will move them once they play a game with their new team.  Players may still be listed even if they are injured or have otherwise stopped playing for a team.  There are times when players slip through the cracks so please do let us know via social media if we are missing somebody.  Schools are listed as they appear on their association websites, although there is inconsistent usage on some of those sites, and current affiliation is mentioned, which may not be the same as when the player played there.  Players who did not play scholastically in the United States have their ties indicated as either WNBA, Draft Pick, Signed Contract, or Birthplace.  Players marked with * are in the WNBA draft pool for 2022.

The season started on Saturday with the semifinals of the SuperCup.  The matchup should be more interesting with teams at full strength, but Avenida won the first game 63-61 over Girona.  The tournament is being played on Tenerife and the hosts fell to Valencia 68-58 in the second game, but Janelle Bailey did make her professional debut.  The final was close for a quarter on Sunday, but Valencia ended up rolling 81-63 as they figure to battle Avenida on multiple fronts this season when both teams are at full strength.

The quarterfinals were played on Thursday with winners clinching spots in world championship qualifying in addition to continuing in the tournament.  The first game of the day had a rare matchup of sisters as the United States breezed past the US Virgin Islands 97-46.  Ace Konig fired Canada past the Dominican Republic 90-53 in the next game.  Brazil stifled Venezuela early on their way to a 90-59 win.  There had been fears that none of the games would be competitive, but Colombia got in a rhythm early with Narlyn Mosquera and gave Puerto Rico everything they could handle before the hosts rallied behind Jazmon Gwathmey to win 77-69.
