How can a player’s career change by meeting the right coach? If you want to know, just ask Laia Palau. She was enjoying a solid career, using her quickness and athletic conditioning but when Carme Lluveras came across her at UB FC Barcelona, Palau became a top star in Spain, leading the team to their first league title. The National Team was the next step before becoming a EuroLeague All-Star playing for Bourges. Palau is an impact player not only on offense but also on defense, where she is capable of locking down any back-court player. She can also play either the point or shooting guard position and can change the face of any game with her electric one-on-one ability and her long and mid-range shooting.
