Aziaha James · Anyone who followed Aziaha James’ four-year Wolfpack run likely knows it to merely be a matter of time before her dynamite scoring abilities — particularly against top-tier teams — takes center stage in the WNBA. Until said opportunities arise, though, 2025’s No. 12 pick has proven to be plenty capable of impacting a game in other ways. Promising on multiple occasions to “keep the energy up” when her name is called upon, James aces the first test, pairing her double-team trap of Diamond Miller with a stealth-like from-behind steal against fellow rookie Anastasiia Kosu. Equally ambitious offensively, James curtains her impressive two-way series with an unselfish heads-up dime to a teammate. Despite becoming victim No. 1 on the Minnesota Lynx’s revenge tour, there were positives worth extracting for the new-look Dallas Wings in May 16, 2025’s season opener. Providing a few herself, James closed with one assist and a steal in six minutes. · State of Mint · State of Mint
