“It’s been crazy to see the chemistry that’s starting to grow and just the way everybody is so unselfish and plays as a team.”
WNBA star Alissa Pili is yet to officially make her WNBL debut but she’s already extremely excited and confident about what her Geelong Venom can achieve during the WNBL26 season.
The 188cm forward, who has spent time with Minnesota and Los Angeles in the WNBA, believes she can be a strong yet versatile presence for Venom this year, both inside the paint or from long range.
Mix in Geelong’s crazy chemistry, and Pili says the Venom, who rebranded in the off-season, will make plenty of noise this season.
“It’s been crazy to see the chemistry that’s starting to grow and just the way everybody is so unselfish and plays as a team,” Pili said in an interview with CODE Sports.
“I think I’m just looking to add to that, to add some scoring and just a strong presence and hopefully, you know, I want to win it all, so I hope that’s what’s in store for us.”
Pili, who played US college hoops with both USC and Utah before becoming first Polynesian and Indigenous Alaskan player to line up in the WNBA, and her Venom host the Sydney Flames in Round 1 on Saturday.
The fixture tips off at 7pm AEDT, live on ESPN2.
