Player Profile
Elsa Lemmilä is a 6-foot-6 center with elite rim protection instincts and high-level defensive mobility. She uses her massive reach to contest shots, control the glass, and alter coverages at the rim. Beyond her defensive impact, she is an efficient interior finisher who scores with high-percentage touch around the basket. While her perimeter shooting is limited, her defensive ceiling and sheer physical presence project her as a top prospect for the 2028 WNBA Draft.
