Every week we bring you a list of the top former Trojans players who continue their career in pro basketball.
#1. Kiki Iriafen, a 6'3'' forward who graduated from USC in 2025 and was a Wade Trophy (Player of the Year) Finalist that year, is currently playing professionally in the WNBA for the Washington Mystics. In the recent game against the New York Liberty, despite her remarkable performance, Iriafen could not prevent the Washington Mystics from losing 93-98 on the road. As the #4 seed, the Mystics faced a tough challenge against the Liberty.
Iriafen displayed her skills by achieving a double-double with 20 points and 12 rebounds while also contributing 3 assists in just 28 minutes of play. This game marked her debut for the Washington Mystics in her first professional season, showcasing her talent and potential in the league. Although the team did not secure the victory, Iriafen's impressive performance did not go unnoticed.
Her exceptional performance against the New York Liberty not only demonstrated her scoring ability, rebounding prowess, and playmaking skills but also earned her the prestigious Triple-Double Badge from eurobasket.com. Even though the Mystics faced a setback in this game, it is still early in the season, and there are plenty of opportunities ahead for Iriafen and her team to bounce back and strive for success in the league.
