Women’s EuroBasket 2025 is currently going on with no active Washington Mystics players. But one of their recent draftees, power forward Nastja Claessens, plays for Belgium, where she will try to help the Cats get to their second straight Women’s EuroBasket gold medal.
Given that former Mystics star Emma Meesseman is Cats’ top player (and is the best player in this tournament) and plays power forward herself, Claessens is a rotation player who won’t get 30 minutes a game. But Claessens has also averaged a respectable 6.5 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. Her best performance was a 14 point performance e against Montenegro where she shot 3-of-4 from the field and made 5-of-6 free throws.
