The Golden State Valkyries made a significant move in their inaugural free agency by signing veteran forward Monique Billings. Selected in the expansion draft despite her unrestricted free agent status, Billings brings valuable experience and rebounding skill to the team. General Manager Ohemaa Nyanin and head coach Natalie Nakase emphasized her energy and versatility, indicating her crucial role in establishing the team’s playing style. Billings, who previously played with the Phoenix Mercury, averaged 7.4 points and 5.8 rebounds in the last season, demonstrating her capability on both ends of the court. Additionally, the Valkyries signed training camp contracts with expansion draft picks Veronica Burton and Julie Vanloo.
Monique's versatility will make her an excellent addition to our roster, her tenacity and strength will be crucial to our success.
Her energy and physicality align perfectly with the style of play we're building, and her seven years of WNBA experience will be invaluable to our inaugural team.
