Zalissa Finley brings size, rebounds, and rim protection to Bakersfield
Finley profiles as a high-energy forward who can immediately help Bakersfield with her motor, length, and two-way impact. In the 2024–25 season at Whitworth, she was the Northwest Conference Rookie of the Year, led the league in rebounds and blocks, and averaged 9.9 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks per game, including 10 double-doubles. That combination of rebounding, shot-blocking, and a developing perimeter game makes her a strong fit for a fast-paced system that values activity, toughness, and versatility.
