The All-Second Team of the Women’s Olympic Basketball Tournament Paris 2024 is a star-studded one.
There were so many great performances at the Women’s Olympic Basketball Tournament Paris 2024 that the need for recognition via an All-Star Five Second Team was stronger than ever.
Ezinne Kalu was phenomenal for Nigeria in their history-making campaign. The point guard was a major force behind them becoming the first ever African team to play in an Olympic Quarter-Finals. She averaged 18.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.5 steals per game.
Julie Vanloo could barely have done more in the Bronze Medal Game to deliver a first ever medal for Belgium after dropping 26 points and 11 assists, but the Cats just came up short against Australia. Overall, the guard averaged a 14.0 points, 2.7 boards and 6.8 assists.
Satou Sabally helped Germany to make history as the new kids on the Olympic block won their first game and quickly doubled that tally to reach the knockout phase. The forward memorably lit it up with 33 points against Japan and finished with an average of 18.8 points, 5.8 boards and 2.0 assists per outing.
Valeriane Ayayi endured a bitter-sweet finish as France took silver in that dramatic one-point loss in the title game. The winger showed her leadership throughout the tournament and registered 9.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.
Ezi Magbegor had a last day to remember with a recored-breaking performance efficiency valuation of 45 in the Bronze Medal Game. The Opals’ center netted a double-double of 30 points and 13 rebounds, eventually averaging 11.5 points, 6.0 boards and 2.5 assists per contest.
