The crème de la crème of Australian talent will feature from Vegas to Indiana and Chicago to Connecticut in the new WNBA season which tips this weekend.
Eight Australians will suit up, with all but one donning new playing strips in 2023, while the coaching ranks feature three Aussies headlined by New York Liberty head coach Sandy Brondello.
It's only fitting Seattle Storm's colours are green and yellow given the rich history of Australians who have represented the Storm, namely the GOAT Lauren Jackson whose iconic No.15 was retired by the franchise.
Ezi Magbegor, fresh from winning a title with Hungarian powerhouse Sopron in her debut European season, begins a new long-term deal and reunites with 2020 championship bubble teammate Sami Whitcomb who returns to Seattle after a stint at the Liberty.
There's cause for excitement with the imminent debut of 20-year-old superstar Jade Melbourne, who hails from regional Victoria and was selected with pick 33 in the 2022 draft.
And after another brilliant season in the WNBL, Melbourne is primed for her first crack at the big league. With her skill set, willingness to work hard and selfless approach, Melbourne can make an instant impact and has three WNBL seasons and experience representing the Opals on the international stage under her belt.
One great success story is unfolding at the world-class Las Vegas facility with reigning champions the Aces.
The stacked roster has added freshly-crowned WNBL MVP Cayla George who in the last 12 months won a bronze medal with the Opals at the FIBA Women's World Cup in Sydney and became a mother to a daughter, Pearl.
George last played in the WNBA in 2018 with Dallas Wings, and was previously coached by Brondello at Phoenix Mercury, and has earned another contract and can now call the likes of A'ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum and recruit and two-time WNBA MVP Candace Parker her team mates.
At Chicago Sky, former Mercury and Fever player Alanna Smith is looking to continue her growing her momentum after a stellar season in Europe where she was crowned MVP of the Polish league.
World Cup bronze medallist Anneli Maley, who played a handful of games for Chicago in 2022, has another opportunity with the Sky.
Off-season moves saw Opals Kristy Wallace, move from Atlanta to Indiana Fever, and Bec Allen join Connecticut Sun from the Liberty.
World Cup All-Star Steph Talbot was set to play for Los Angeles Sparks, after several seasons with Seattle, but sadly ruptured her ACL late in the WNBL season.
A championship coach and coach of the year in 2014 with Phoenix Mercury, Brondello is at the helm of what has been widely touted a WNBA super team who will contend with the Aces for the title.
The Liberty had a mammoth off-season netting the prized signature of global superstars Brianna Stewart from Seattle, Chicago's Courtney Vandersloot and Connecticut's Jonquel Jones. The roster also boats Sabrina Ionescu and Marine Johannes.
At Brondello's former team Phoenix, which also has a proud and successful honour role of Aussies, Olympic medallist and 2004 WNBA champion Tully Bevilaqua begins her coaching journey as an assistant coach to Vanessa Nygaard.
In Atlanta, two-time WNBL championship coach Paul Goriss, who guided the Opals to a bronze medal at the 2021 Asia Cup, continues to make an impact on the Dream.
Goriss was given the reins by coach Tanisha Wright in the pre-season where he led Atlanta against the Washington Mystics.
Elsewhere, there's plenty of familiar talent to watch across the WNBA who have links to Australia.
2022/23 Grand Final MVP and Townsville Fire championship player Tianna Hawkins will suit up for Washington for a 10th season.
Other imports from the past WNBL season who will be in action include Melbourne pair Tiffany Mitchell (Minnesota Lynx) and Olivia Nelson-Ododa (Sparks), Southside's Kayla Thornton and Sydney MVP Jocelyn Willoughby (New York) and former Adelaide player Kiersten Bell (Vegas).
