- Lucy Olsen, Washington Mystics guard and 2025 WNBA second-round pick, has signed with Seros FirstPick for on-field representation, with Fabio Jardine set to lead her playing career management.
- The deal covers on-field/player representation only, Olsen retains Sports International Group (SIG) for her off-field and marketing work.
- Olsen is coming off a standout first year that included a WNBL stint with the Townsville Fire and the WNBL Sixth Woman of the Year award.
- Fabio Jardine is a FIBA and WNBA-certified agent who has built Seros FirstPick into one of the most respected women's basketball agencies globally.
Lucy Olsen is locking in her team. The Washington Mystics guard has signed with Seros FirstPick for on-field representation, with FIBA and WNBA-certified agent Fabio Jardine at the helm.
Olsen, 22, was taken 23rd overall by the Mystics in the 2025 WNBA Draft out of Iowa, where she was a unanimous 1st Team All-Big Ten honoree and two-time WBCA All-American. Her rookie WNBA season included a career-high 19-point performance against the Minnesota Lynx.
She then headed to Australia, signing with the Townsville Fire and earning WNBL Sixth Woman of the Year honors in the 2025-26 season.
This signing is separate from her existing off-field deal with SIG, which was announced in April 2026. The split-representation model, on-court handled by Seros FirstPick, brand work by SIG, gives Olsen specialized focus in both lanes heading into her second WNBA season.
Jardine has been steadily building his roster of elite women’s hoopers. Earlier this year, Mercedes Russell signed with FirstPick Management, adding another experienced name to the agency’s growing stable.
Takeaways
This is a well-structured move by Olsen’s camp. She’s entering Year 2 in the WNBA with a dedicated playing agent in Fabio Jardine, someone who specializes exclusively in women’s basketball and has the international network to maximize contract opportunities both stateside and overseas.
Given that Olsen already proved she can perform in the WNBL, Seros FirstPick is well-positioned to open doors across global leagues if needed.
The fact that she’s also keeping SIG for off-field work shows a level of strategic thinking that goes beyond what most second-year players set up. Olsen is building like a veteran.
Does landing a globally connected agent like Jardine accelerate Olsen’s chances of securing a premium overseas deal during WNBA off-seasons? With SIG handling brand and Seros FirstPick handling play, is this the new gold standard for how young WNBA players should structure their representation?
