Club Team 2012-13: Mersin (Turkey-TKBL) Career: Marshall (USA-NCAA, 2005-10), Aris (Greece-A1, 2010-11), MBK Ruzomberok (Slovak Republic-Extraliga, 2011), Athinaikos (Greece-A1, 2011-12), Mersin (Turkey-TKBL, 2012-13)
This could be the summer when Handy becomes the leader of Great Britain after producing her best-ever club season. She has enjoyed an excellent campaign during her first year in the Turkish League with Mersin, playing well in both EuroCup Women and the domestic league where she helped her team achieve an excellent third place. A small forward in an athletic post player's body, she can play effectively both near and far away from the basket as a multi-dimensional wing. She is a reliable three-point shooter and good rebounder who didn't quite bring her ‘A game' to the table at the Olympics or EuroBasket Women 2011 for a variety of reasons, but could be in the right frame of mind to underline her quality and step up to the plate in France. She is also a great character and influence around the locker room. |
