As seasons end around the world, it is time for an update on some players who started their careers at Duke before moving on to other colleges. While their overseas careers are not covered here in depth, they are mentioned on occasion.
Chelsea Hopkins returned to Israel for another season, changing teams this season and joining Maccabi Ramat Hen. Chelsea proved to be one of the best point guards in the league again this season, nearly leading her team to an upset win for a championship in a thrilling final series after a dominant regular season. Unlike last season, Chelsea's overseas play did not gain her an invitation to a WNBA training camp, but her overseas reputation continues to grow.

Janee Johnson started her professional career this season, playing for Portuguese powerhouse Quinta dos Lombos. She had a solid debut season as the team finished fourth in the regular season, but played well enough in the round robin that decided the champion to end the season as runners up.
