At the end of the 2024-2025 regular season in Women’s League 2 (LF2), the traditional Individual Trophies have been revealed. The MVP is no stranger to these distinctions: two years after being elected best young player, Binta Dramé (1.72m, 22 years old) now claims the supreme title. The Toulouse Métropole Basket point guard (22), who averages 15.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2.3 steals for a 16.3 evaluation, confirmed her rise by being the cornerstone of the dominant Toulouse team this season.

Binta Dramé, the expected confirmation

Trained at Pole France and having played for Chartres then Illkirch-Graffenstaden, Binta Dramé has been shining in the Pink City since 2023. Her consistency, impact on both ends of the floor, and ability to make her teammates shine helped TMB dominate the regular season (18 wins – 4 losses) and aim for a return to the elite. The MVP award highlights her constant progression, already recognized with the best young player trophy in 2023 while with SIG.

Xavier Noguera, the architect of the Toulouse project

At the helm since 2016, Xavier Noguera also earns a well-deserved trophy. Already titled in 2022 with a promotion, the TMB coach managed to revitalize his group after last year’s playoff disappointment. His experience and the solidity of his collective, LF2’s best defense, have placed Toulouse in a strong position before the finals.

Sarah Cissé, the future of French basketball

Among young players, Sarah Cissé (1.88m, 18 years old), Pole France’s interior player, stands out. In her second full LF2 season, the Parisian (1.88m) exploded with averages of 11.1 points and 8.3 rebounds. Mobile, athletic, already a two-time European youth champion with France, she posted several outstanding performances, including a 36 evaluation peak against Le Havre. Promising.
