The Tallest WNBA Players Ever: A Look At The WNBA's Best Bigs

• Teams Played For: San Antonio Silver Stars, Connecticut Sun, Los Angeles Sparks
• Career Averages: 10.o points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists

Margo Dydek played for a number of teams across her decade long career in the early 2000's. She was a two-time WNBA All-Star and helped lead Poland to a gold medal in the 1999 EuroBasket competition. Unfortunately, she passed away in 2011 after going into cardiac arrest at her home.

Dydek is currently still the WNBA's all-time leader in blocks, leading the league in total blocks nine times and blocks per game eight times, and had the most defensive rebounds in 2001.

• Teams Played For: New York Liberty
• Career Averages: 6.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, 0.6 assists

The New York Liberty added two of the best bigs in the league this offseason when they signed Jonquel Jones and Breanna Stewart, but there is one big still lurking on the New York Liberty: Han Xu.

Xu was the fourteenth overall pick in the second round of the 2019 draft and was the youngest player in her draft class. After sitting out the 2020 and 2021 seasons due to covid, she made a return to the Liberty and had a fantastic 2022 campaign. It should be interesting to see how she is used with the new additions that the Liberty have in the paint.

• Teams Played For: Indiana Fever
• Career Averages: 4.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, 0.3 assists

Another WNBA player popular for her height is former Indiana Fever big, Bernadett Hatar. Her stint in the WNBA may have been short (seven games), but there is no denying that the talent was there.

Hatar dominated the EuroLeague and EuroBasket for her home-country of Hungary, but finally made the jump to the WNBA in 2021. After only one season with the Fever, they parted ways and that was the end of that story... for now.

• Teams Played For: Tulsa Shock, Dallas Wings, Las Vegas Aces, Los Angeles Sparks
• Career Averages: 15.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists

Have you've ever listened to Sicko Mode by Travis Scott and sang along "Wet like I'm Lizzy" and thought to yourself, "who is Lizzy"?. Here's your answer!

Liz Cambage took the WNBA by storm after getting drafted by the Tulsa Shock in 2011. She left the WNBA after just three years in 2013 to play overseas before a miraculous return in 2018 to the Wings. Cambage has been known for her off-court and on-court antics, but you simply can't talk about the 2010's WNBA without mentioning her.

• Teams Played For: Phoenix Mercury
• Career Averages: 17.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists

When talking about the best female basketball players from a pure skills standpoint, it's impossible to leave out Brittney.

Griner was drafted by the Phoenix Mercury with the first overall pick in the 2013 WNBA draft and has played with the team ever since. She helped the United States win the gold medal at two Summer Olympics and two FIBA Women's World Cups.

After being detained in Russia for possession of marijuana cartridges, Griner was forced to miss the entire 2022 WNBA season, but thankfully has made it back to the United States. She re-signed with the Mercury this offseason and will be back for the 2023 season.
