What players are ready to catch the eye in EuroCup Women Group H?
MUNICH (EuroCup Women) – Next in line to receive our attention are the players looking to make an impact in EuroCup Women Group H with GDESSA-Barreiro, Basketball Nymburk, KSC Szekszard and Virtus Eirene Ragusa.
Catrina Green - GDESSA-Barreiro
Bringing previous experience in Portugal from her time with Clube Uniao, prior to a spell in Germany last year, the center will relish a EuroCup Women debut. A standout with Gardner-Webb in the NCAA, she must come up big under the bucket for her team if they are to mount a challenge to make the second phase of the tournament.
Kyara Linskens - Basketball Nymburk
The forward will still be floating on air after playing a role in guiding Belgium to that historic last podium step at EuroBasket Women 2017 in Prague. Now back on Czech Republic soil for her first season outside of her homeland, Linskens will bring Nymburk an added presence inside and also an impressive shooting range.

The Slovenia national team guard is a class act and has shown how influential she can be for her country and also in EuroCup Women. Oblak has been excellent in recent seasons at Good Angels Kosice and already demonstrated her value with her new team during the EuroLeague Women qualifiers.
Astou Ndour - Virtus Eirene Ragusa
After spending the summer having surgery and rehabbing to get back in shape, Ndour will hopefully be back firing on all cylinders as the season gets underway. Ragusa benefited from the production under the basket of the Olympian last season and will want a similar return this time around.
Marcia Costa - GDESSA-Barreiro
The best domestic player in the Portuguese League last year, Costa will once again be an influential figure as GDESSA-Barreiro enter the competition looking to fly the flag for their nation. She will put points on the board, dish out the assists and go to work on the glass. She is a do-it-all player with nice defense, who shone brightly a couple of years ago in the competition with the club as Quinta Dos Lombos.
Aleksandra Tarasova - Basketball Nymburk
Having been crowned MVP in the DBBL Cup Final while playing with Wasserburg in Germany last season, Tarasova also excelled in EuroCup Women. The Belarusian playmaker has had injury problems during her career but looks to be back at her best and that is great news for Nymburk.
Agnes Studer - KSC Szekszard
One of the brightest prospects on the Continent, the teenage guard was a daily highlights reel at the FIBA U20 Women's European Championship earlier this year. Fast, dynamic and a with great court-vision, she has the capacity to be a leading Hungarian and European player.
Chiara Consolini - Virtus Eirene Ragusa
The veteran Consolini is such a consistent performer for her club and she can torch opponents from downtown with her shooting prowess. Her experience is precious for Ragusa and she is one of the most underrated wing players in the competition.
