Journeying into the unknown can be a lonely experience. That would have been the case for French star Nell Angloma, drafted by the Connecticut Sun with the 12th pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft. However, she quickly learned she wasn't alone.
The 20-year-old joined Leila Lacan, picked 10th in the 2024 WNBA Draft (she didn't play during the 2024 season), in Connecticut. Together, the two have become a dynamic duo on and off the court.
Lacan, 22, has driven with Angloma on long car rides, helping adjust to the rules of the road and of women's basketball in America. She provides a trusting voice in an unfamiliar world. It's made for an easier adjustment than most have attempted.
"She (Lacan) helped me a lot because I'm not very comfortable with my English," Angloma told The IX Sports. "She can help me to translate some details."
