Julie Vanloo was waived by the Golden State Valkyries on Monday. Vanloo was part of the original squad in the Valkyries’ inaugural season. She had played in nine of the team’s games before taking a break from the team to play in Eurobasket, where her team went on to win the tournament.Vanloo was averaging 4.6 ppg, 1.9 rpg and 4.1 apg. But she also had 2.6 turnovers per game and posted a -8.9 +/-. In addition to her job on the court, Vanloo was a pivotal part of the team off the court. Vanloo, who speaks four languages, was the team’s interpreter earlier in the season and pre-season, as the expansion team is filled with players from across Europe. The move allows the Valkyries to keep one of their hardship contract players who had been filling in while four players left to play in the Eurobasket league. Many fans hope that it allows Laeticia Amihere or Katlyn Chen to stay, but the team has not yet announced who they’ll sign on for a rest-of-season contract.
