If you’ve been watching the WNBA this season (and why wouldn’t you???), then you’ve seen Dominique Malonga. At just 19 years old, the No. 2 overall pick of the Seattle Storm arrived a little late to training camp because of her commitment with the French national team, but as soon as she touched down in Emerald City, she went to work.

After being welcomed by her teammates and coaching staff, who were patient and supported her transition to the W, she says her adjustment to playing in Seattle’s system was seamless.

“The Storm put me in a position where I can just play how I love to play,” Malonga says. “I did not have to change anything because how the Storm play is really how I love to play. I was playing like that before, I didn’t change anything.”

And when she says the Storm play how she loves to play, she means scoring, going hard and grabbing a bunch of double-doubles. Keep your eyes on No. 14 when you watch a game. She recorded impressive stats like 17 and 10 against Washington and 20 and 11 against the Sparks. And did we mention she’s now the youngest WNBA player ever to record a double-double?

Even though Dom says that coming to the States and playing in Seattle has been seamless, she does acknowledge that the W is a different game compared to what she played in France.

“The pace of the game is really different here,” she says. “Everything is so fast, we just shoot in 10 seconds. It’s really physical. I’m not saying that in France it’s not physical, it’s just different here. It’s about showing that you’re there, and giving a bump even when it’s not needed.”
