Queensland guard bringing defensive bite and pro-style polish to Xavier
In the 2025-26 season, Phoebe Holmes is a sophomore guard for Xavier listed at 5-foot-7, and her appeal is more about two-way savvy than box-score volume so far[2][10]. She arrived after averaging 20.5 points per game with the Mackay Meteorettes in Australia’s NBL1 and bringing championship pedigree from leading her U16 team to a title, which hints at real competitive edge[4]. Through the 2025-26 season, Xavier’s stats page shows 12 appearances, 38 minutes, 3 points, and 8 assists with a low shooting line, so the current read is “steady role player with upside,” not featured scorer[10]. If your team wants a scrappy, international guard who has already proven she can score and compete at a high level, Holmes is the kind of under-the-radar fit that can quietly grow into a useful piece[4][10].
