Dorja Zaja brings veteran size, rebounding juice, and international polish to Wisconsin
A 6-foot-3 Croatian center, Dorja Zaja gives Wisconsin a physically mature frontcourt option with real résumé weight: in the 2024 FIBA U20 Women’s EuroBasket Division B, she averaged 12.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, and Wisconsin’s roster notes say she played 33 games in 2025-26 while providing frontcourt stability. She’s intriguing because she combines international experience, efficient finishing, and a steady, low-drama presence inside—exactly the kind of big who can plug holes, set a tone, and make a coaching staff sleep better at night.
