Rayah Marshall, a 6-foot-4 center drafted 25th overall in the second round of 2025, has begun her professional career with Fujian Xiamen Egrets in the Chinese Women's Basketball League. The USC product, born in November 2003, is a formidable interior presence known for her rebounding, shot-blocking, and developing post game. Her decision to start her pro journey overseas is a common path for later draft picks seeking significant playing time and development. In China, Marshall will have the opportunity to hone her skills against professional competition, work on her offensive repertoire, and build confidence. This experience is invaluable, and a strong season abroad could pave the way for a future WNBA opportunity, where her size and defensive instincts would be a major asset.
