WNBA Draft Rewind

Leonie Fiebich is a 6'4 German international wing who can play inside and out and is a difficult matchup due to her size and length. Kinda like fellow German Satou Sabally but not as much upside. Still pretty good though and she might be one to watch out for in the next few years.

Laksa is Latvian and Gorecki has acquired Polish nationality (I assume through ancestry) so she counts as an EU player.

2021 and 2022 Draftees who are still trying to crack the league – where are they playing these days?

while she has a decent chance, she’s gotta make the roster first
