The New York Liberty have signed Annika Soltau, a 6’4” German shot blocker who went undrafted in last week’s WNBA Draft, to a rookie scale contract. The signing was announced on the WNBA transaction page:
The 20-year-old, who plays for Baden Basket 54 in the Swiss league, is known primarily for her defense, particularly her shot-blocking prowess, but she averaged 21.1 points and 9.5 rebounds for Baden.
She will join two other German stars on the Liberty roster. Leonie Fiebich and Nyara Sabally, both of whom played critical roles for the New Yorkers in their successful title quest in October.
