Toronto has made it official with Julie Allemand.
The Belgian guard who was selected by the Tempo in the expansion draft has officially agreed to a multi-year contract, the team announced on Saturday.
Allemand has extensive international experience on top of multiple seasons in the WNBA as a point guard. Her playmaking skills and on-court leadership make her an offensive force on the court. Most recently, she's averaged 5.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game with the Los Angeles Sparks.
“Julie is a true point guard who brings poise, intelligence, and a team-first approach every time she steps onto the floor,” general manager Monica Wright Rogers said in a press release. “She has played and led at the highest levels internationally and in the WNBA, and her experience, voice, and feel for the game are incredibly valuable as we continue to build our identity.”
The 29-year-old has two years of experience in the WNBA. Allemand was selected with the 33rd pick in the 2016 draft by the Indiana Fever.
“I’m excited for this opportunity and for the chance to join the Toronto Tempo," Allemand said. “I know this is a city with a strong basketball culture, and I’m looking forward to contributing and growing with this team.”
