Every player has something to prove heading into the WNBL’s 2024/25 season, whether that be a development player hoping to earn minutes, a rising star keen to push into the superstar category, or a superstar looking to add more accolades to their resume.

The imports that are set to hit the league are no different, some of whom are young, exciting talent who will be eager to showcase their growth and development with much larger roles on their respective WNBL teams than they have had in the WNBA.

The WNBL is a great place for young talent – both home grown and international – to develop; the quality of play within the league, great veterans across all teams to learn from, and an Australian summer (as opposed to a European winter) certainly doesn’t hurt either!

There are four imports set to line up for different teams across the WNBL who have been drafted by WNBA teams in the last two years, all of whom are all finding their way in their respective professional careers and all have landed in Australia’s WNBL, with great opportunities to play key roles and earn big minutes.
