It took a few weeks longer than anticipated, but the Connecticut Sun officially came to terms to Anete Jekabsone-Zogota.

Although her commitments overseas will likely keep her from joining the Sun until late June, the aigning of the 2007 FIBA Europe Player of the Year should be a perfect fit for the Sun who have been in the market for a light's out shooter. That is exactly what the 5-foot-9, 25-year-old Jekabsone-Zogota is.

She was the fourth-leading scorer in the 2008 Olympics and finished second in assists for Latvia.

In a pre-Olympic tour, Jekabsone-Zogota was 5 for 5 from 3-point range en route to scoring 34 points in Latvia's 76-69 upset of Russia. She followed that with 24 points, three assists and five steals in an 84-74 loss to the U.S. Her performance did not go unnoticed by Connecticut Sun coach Mike Thibault, an assistant coach on the U.S. team.
