Laken James brings pro-level perspective and player-development edge to Green Bay
Laken James stands out less as a box-score name and more as a culture-setter: she is described as a professional basketball player, former UW-Green Bay captain, mentor, and founder of Five Star Academy, with a clear emphasis on confidence, mental health, and empowering female athletes.[1][2][4][5] For a team, that signals a guard whose value goes beyond scoring—she brings leadership, lived experience, and a developmental mindset that can raise the floor of a locker room.
