Meet the Team

Daniel De La Rosa
Dupr: 6.5

Andrea Koop
Dupr: 5.6
Bio: Andrea joined the Brooklyn Aces during the second half of the 2024 MLP season. She is a veteran with a passion for the game, a keen ability to read the court, and a mindset unlike most competitors in MLP. She will be the glue and a difference maker when needed.

Stephan Auvergne
Dupr: 6.3
