Belgian-born forward Nastja Claessens brings pro-level polish, versatility, and international edge to Kansas State
Claessens is a 6-foot-1 forward who fits the modern “positionless” mold: she scores efficiently, spaces the floor, and can also create for teammates. In the 2025-26 season, she has shown two-way impact for Kansas State, averaging 10.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 3.0 steals in early action, while flashing the kind of court vision and intensity that don’t always show up in box scores. Her big differentiator is experience — she arrived with Olympic and Belgian national-team pedigree, plus a reputation as a confident, versatile scorer who can play inside or out.
