Spanish wing Helena Pueyo commits to Arizona women’s basketball

The Arizona women’s basketball team continues to corner the market on international prospects.

Adia Barnes and company received a commitment from Spaniard Helena Pueyo on Wednesday, their fifth 2019 commitment. All of them hail from overseas.

“I’ve been waiting for this one for a while,” said Barnes, unable to comment on Pueyo until she officially signs.

A 6-foot wing, Pueyo averaged 8.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists in the 2018 FIBA U17 Women’s Basketball World Cup. She also plays for Segle XXI in Spain’s second-best league, where she is averaging a team-high 12.
