The Down Low
Researching Iliana was a little difficult because all I saw were articles in french accompanied by a photo of Iliana holding various medals. Her father was a professional basketball player, so she learned to dribble before she learned to walk. Illiana has plans to succeed at every level from EuroLeague to the Olympics to the WNBA, which has always been a dream of hers. Iliana is only 19 as of draft day, so the rest of the WNBA should be deeply concerned that Iliana’s goals are to be “tougher” and “more explosive."
Also, I don't like to dabble in stereotypes, but has anyone ever looked more chicly French than Iliana working her umbrella on the WNBA draft orange carpet?
