Still underrated, but not for long. Aagot Hashas transformed her game from crafty to complete, now scoring from anywhere. She’s the future – and almost the present – of Denmark’s right wing.

The veteran captain remains elite. Østergaard’s consistency on both ends of the court keeps her among the best – and her leadership still sets Denmark’s tone.

Reliable as ever. The 32-year-old has seen it all but continues to deliver – efficient, experienced, and a constant scoring threat from the corner.
