From WNBA draft picks to returned college stars, and fringe WNBL youngsters looking to establish themselves at the professional level, the NBL1 is rich with young talent.

Narrowing the list of players down was tough. We could have included more, like Nyadiew Puoch, who we recently profiled, or Kristina Moore, who has returned to Australia after a productive college career at Florida and Georgetown. Moore only has played one NBL1 game so far this season, but made a splash with 27 points, including six three-pointers.
