Career: Tarbes (France-LFB, 2003-09)

Isabelle is a beast of nature. She is not very tall but she has extraordinary power and very good hands. This season, she has literally exploded. Last year, she was only averaging 8.9 points per game and this season, she finished as the third best scorer (16.0) in a top team and with playing time of only 28 minutes per game. More impressive, she never has a bad game. This late bloomer started playing basketball very late and before that was a great shot putter but finally chose basketball. "I made up my mind when I compared a picture of a basketball player and a shot putter", she told us. "I realised I did not want to be 320 pounds!"
