Here are all the players on Toronto's new WNBA team

Two years after being awarded an WNBA franchise, the Toronto Tempo finally have players.

The WNBA's two newest teams, the Tempo and Portland Fire, each selected their first 11 players in the expansion draft on Friday.

Toronto was awarded the second overall pick, which it used to select Belgian international and veteran Los Angeles Sparks guard Julie Allemand.

The Portland Fire selected Chatham, Ont., native Bridget Carleton with the first overall pick. Toronto followed with Allemand and went on to select eight international players among its 11 picks.

Maria Conde is a great pickup from @valkyries. She’ll bring some grit to the starting 5.

The Tempo’s biggest steal of the expansion draft may be American point guard Marina Mabrey, who averaged 14.4 points per game with the Connecticut Sun last season.

Mabrey is set to become an unrestricted free agent and was left unprotected by the Sun. Toronto will have sole negotiation rights to Mabrey in free agency, which begins Tuesday.

With the expansion draft complete, the Tempo will now turn its attention to free agency and the Entry Draft on April 13, where the team holds picks 6, 22, 26, and 36.

The Tempo will open its season at Coca-Cola Coliseum against the Washington Mystics on May 8.

The team will play most of its games at Exhibition Place, but will play several games at Scotiabank Arena, including an Aug. 18 matchup against the Indiana Fever, when WNBA star Caitlin Clark comes to town.
