6'2" SJSU Forward Who Graduated in 2024 and Now Plays in the WPBA
Mia Grizelj is a 6'2" forward who graduated from San Jose State in 2024 after a limited college role (0.5 PPG, 1.6 RPG in 2023-24) and has transitioned to professional play with Tech City Valykrie in the WPBA [2][7]. Her differentiator is her high school dominance—averaging 11.0 rebounds per game and ranking top-2 in Division 2 for two stats in California [5], showcasing elite rebounding intensity and physicality that didn’t fully translate to the college level due to limited minutes (6.5 MPG) [3]. While not a high-volume scorer (29.9% FG at SJSU per ESPN), she’s a reliable free-throw shooter (66.7%) and brings a gritty, battle-tested mindset as a graduate student who pursued pro opportunities immediately [3][6]. For a team needing a physical, rebounding-forward with pro experience and a Sunnyvale, CA background, she’s a niche fit—but not a primary scoring option.
