In the 22nd season of the WNBA, we take a look at the players and coaches flying the Australian flag.
Sandy Brondello (Phoenix Mercury)
As the Head Coach of Phoenix Mercury, Brondello is looking to take the team past their 2016 and 2017 results where they were eliminated in the Semi Finals.
Brondello, a prolific player in her own right, has coached Mercury since 2014. Brondello won the championship in 2014 and was named WNBA Coach of the Year.
Brondello is also the coach of the Opals.
Liz Cambage (Dallas Wings)
Cambage returns to the WNBA after being the number 2 draft pick back in 2011. Playing as a center for the Dallas Wings, Cambage will be a big target as she looks to re-establish herself in the world's toughest league.
