Big Board Ranking: 6
A game-changing presence and prospect for the 2027 WNBA Draft, Zhang is the tallest prospect in the history of women’s basketball. Standing at a reported 7’3″ (or taller), she dominates the game without needing to jump, securing rebounds and finishing over defenders with ease. She possesses excellent hands, a soft shooting touch, and the ability to pass out of double teams from the high post. While her mobility and stamina in a fast-paced league remain the primary questions, her sheer scale makes her an intriguing talent.
