WNBL Player Spotlight – Melbourne Boomers – Cayla George
DRAFT Central concludes its Player Spotlight series on the Melbourne Boomers focusing on their leader and other co-captain in 31-year-old Cayla George, who embodies the rock-solid core group that coach Guy Molloy had the pleasure of coaching last season. With George returning to Melbourne for her third straight season and fifteenth campaign throughout her illustrious […]
WNBL Player Spotlight – Melbourne Boomers – Kalani Purcell
GIVEN that the head coach of the Melbourne Boomers, Guy Molloy, is now also the head coach of the New Zealand Tall Ferns national team, the re-signing of the Tall-Ferns captain Kalani Purcell seemed inevitable. Committed to the club, Purcell suits up for her fourth campaign with the purple and gold and will settle for […]
WNBL Player Spotlight – Melbourne Boomers – Ezi Magbegor
IT only makes sense that for today’s Melbourne Boomers Player Spotlight we look at Ezi Magbegor, who earlier today won her first WNBA Championship for the Seattle Storm in her rookie season, and now looks to transfer that success over to the Australian competition as the Boomers franchise continue their hunt for their first title […]
WNBL Player Spotlight – Melbourne Boomers – Tess Madgen
A FORMER stalwart of the Melbourne Boomers and making her return after four seasons away from the club, Tess Madgen joins the formulated line-up of former head coach Guy Molloy for their title run in WNBL21.

WNBL Player Spotlight – Melbourne Boomers – Maddie Garrick
THE fifth side we now look at for Draft Central’s Player Spotlight series is last season’s semi-finalists, the Melbourne Boomers, who after bowing out in a hard-fought series to the eventual champions, the University of Canberra Capitals, will look to go one step further next season in WNBL21. Kicking off the Boomers’ core five for […]
WNBL Player Spotlight – Perth Lynx – Maddison Allen
ROUNDING out Draft Central’s Player Spotlights on the Perth Lynx, we look at the return of the side’s defensive centrepiece in Maddison Allen, who looks to expand her roles and responsibilities within Ryan Petrik’s rotation in WNBL21. Allen, who is almost exclusively praised on her defence, has the chance to become more prominent on the […]
WNBL Player Spotlight – Perth Lynx – Darcee Garbin
IN a trade deal that saw both the Perth Lynx and the Townsville Fire return players to their home states, the Lynx now welcome back WA-native and Australian Opal Darcee Garbin, and it means a tremendous amount to the 26-year-old forward. “I’m really excited to be able to play in front of my family and […]
WNBL Player Spotlight – Perth Lynx – Alex Ciabattoni
AFTER a brief stint in Italy, Alex Ciabattoni returns to the Perth Lynx and the Women’s National Basketball League (WNBL) after two seasons away from the League, where she will look to provide Ryan Petrik and his staff with an adaptive role in the rotation, given her versatility. Ciabattoni is no stranger to the WNBL […]
WNBL Player Spotlight – Perth Lynx – Sami Whitcomb
THERE is without a shadow of a doubt that amongst active players in the Women’s National Basketball League (WNBL), Sami Whitcomb sits at the top in terms of her accolades on an international level. Following their announcement on the 17th of June, the Perth Lynx will bolster their squad tremendously with the addition of the […]
WNBL Player Spotlight – Perth Lynx – Katie Ebzery
MANY basketball punters knew of Katie Ebzery’s proficiency on the offensive end for the Perth Lynx, but not everybody anticipated the kind of season that the Waratah-born guard would have in WNBL20. Based on this, it only makes perfect sense for us at Draft Central to begin this week’s Player Spotlight series on the All-Star […]
WNBL Player Spotlight – Bendigo Spirit – Carley Ernst
IN an offseason that has seen numerous new pieces trying to find their place amongst Bendigo’s 2020/21 puzzle, there was one piece that sat in the middle of the picture before the offseason even began. Draft Central looks at Carley Ernst, who now enters the second year of her two-year deal as the anchor of the […]
WNBL Player Spotlight – Bendigo Spirit – Demi Skinner
AMONGST a handful of impressive rookie seasons, many people fail to recognise just how extraordinary Demi Skinner’s first campaign with the Bendigo Spirit actually was up against WNBL-calibre competition for the first time in her career. The first signing of the Free Agency period across the entire competition for next season, Bendigo knew early on […]
