The reigning FIBA Europe Women's Player of the Year, Dumerc, was the star of the London 2012 Olympics. The captain of the French team is a floor general of the highest class, especially defensively, where many regard her as the best in the business. Most recently, she has been playing the most productive basketball of her career and with a huge smile on her face too, helping Bourges to a third-place finish at the EuroLeague Women Final Eight. Few players in world basketball possess her fantastic court vision and creative abilities. The left-handed Dumerc has outstanding quickness and ball handling skills, dictating the tempo of any game when she steps onto the floor. Over the last 12 months or so, she seems to have been willing to take on more direct scoring responsibilities for both club and country, answering those who questioned whether she possessed the ability to freely put points on the board. Guard closely and she will dribble past you in a heartbeat, stand off and she will shoot, particularly from three-point range. Now gaining wider recognition away from the court, she is definitely the heartbeat and star of Les Bleues. |
