Hazel Avelok 6’8” (in shoes) -mid blocker, missed most of the current Women’s

You’d think there would be more money for her to shoot for in WNBA but it turns out, unlike many other women's sports where top-tier salaries remain relatively low (like softball) , top female volleyball players are often among the highest-paid female team-sport athletes in the world.
