It's great to see that Meesseman will play for a superstar-studded team in Europe. But it also allows her to get re-acclimated to her passive nature over the past three WNBA seasons. That concerns me.
It was reported on Wednesday that Washington Mystics PF/C Emma Meesseman's Russian league contract was bought out by UMMC Ekaterinburg.
UMMC is a women's basketball superpower in Russia, having won six of the last seven Russian Cups, and won a EuroLeague title as recently as 2013. They frequently sport starting lineups that would be competitive in the WNBA. This year's team includes former MVP Diana Taurasi and 2015 Defensive Player of the Year Brittney Griner.
