Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC We bring you last week's top former Great Danes players who are currently playing in pro basketball.
#1. Austrian champion Stella Popp, a 25-year-old guard standing at 5'10'' who graduated from Albany in 2021 and currently plays professionally in Austria, made her debut for BK Duchess in their recent game against DBB Wels. Despite her remarkable performance, where she scored 17 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, and dished out 4 assists in 32 minutes of play, BK Duchess unfortunately fell short with a final score of 73-78 at home against the second-ranked team in the league. This game marked Popp's first appearance for BK Duchess this season, showcasing her skills as a key player on the team. Even though the team faced a tough loss, it's important to remember that this is just the beginning of the season, and there are plenty of opportunities ahead for them to bounce back and strive for success.
