On this special episode of ‘The Young Man and the Three,’ we welcome Dominique Malonga of the Seattle Storm. Malonga, who was the second overall pick of the WNBA draft behind Paige Bueckers, discusses her rookie season which ended with a playoff appearance with the Storm. In that series, she faced A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces - Malonga talks about what it’s like guarding A’ja and praises her as one of the league’s best. Malonga also shares what it was like growing up in France in the same town as Victor Wembanyama and how they randomly met when they were kids. She also reflects on her draft night and some of her welcome to the league moments, which included guarding Alyssa Thomas her first game. She shares the influence that Kevin Durant and Breanna Stewart had on her when she was watching them growing up as well. She ends with sharing what aspects of her game she’ll be working on this offseason, and her answer might be scary for the rest of the WNBA. Let’s go!
