Australia sets sights on Quarterfinals after strong Group stage finish
With momentum from back-to-back wins, the Emus will face the Dominican Republic in a Round of 16 clash at the FIBA U19 World Cup.
With her towering, strong frame and skill set, Aokuso is literally one of the biggest talents in Australian basketball.
The 25-year-old centre reached her 100th WNBL game in season 2023-24 playing all games at Townsville Fire where she is a two-time champion.
She enjoyed success on Opals debut in 2021 winning a bronze medal with the national team at the FIBA Asia Cup in Jordan.
Aokuso has endured more than her fair share of injuries and is now reaping the rewards of a healthy body in both the WNBL and NBL1 and as a member of the Australian squad.
