An Indian prospect for the WNBA

I came across this article from India about Geethu Anna Jose, a 6-foot-1 center who’s apparently getting interest from some of the WNBA teams, according to an article in the Hindustan Times. It’s an interesting read about a woman from a league that doesn’t get much play when you consider the leagues around the world.

A good performance in the Big V League would propel Geethu closer to fulfilling her dream of playing in the Women’s National Basketball League (WNBA), the most high profile women’s league in the world.

Geethu has already received feelers from WNBA scouts and her performance would strengthen her case, and also put the spotlight firmly on Indian women basketball players, some of whom have elicited enquires from other foreign leagues.

Found a basic bio of Geethu here. Give it a read… we might be seeing her in the league soon enough.
