See the NBL1 North Women’s fixture here. 

With the Adelaide Lightning last season, the 25-year-old made All-WNBL Second Team averaging 17.7 points per game and 9.1 rebounds per game. Smith’s Lightning made the semi-finals and lost to the eventual WNBL Champion Melbourne Boomers. 

Smith’s basketball resume speaks for herself, with a silver medal in the 2018 FIBA Women’s World Cup, four seasons in the WNBA, 2020 Tokyo Olympian and All-WNBL team member, she will be a superstar for Seebomb’s Flames.
