Julie Vanloo is quietly rewriting rookie records with the Washington Mystics

But Vanloo, a starting guard for the Belgian national team and a 2023 EuroBasket champion, has done even more than make the WNBA this season after years of trying. She is already climbing up the Mystics and WNBA rookie record books.

On July 14, Vanloo claimed the Mystics rookie record for 3-pointers in a season in only her 24th game. And her 53 threes at the Olympic break rank in the top 20 in WNBA rookie history with 15 regular-season games left.

Vanloo also ranks third in Mystics rookie history in total assists — recently surpassing the rookie total of the franchise’s all-time assists leader, Natasha Cloud — and 13th in points just past the halfway mark of the season.

Approaching franchise records this early in the season “speaks to the potential of Julie Vanloo in this league and what kind of player she can be,” Mystics assistant coach Ashlee McGee told The Next on July 13.
