Two years after being selected by the Storm in the second round of the 2003 WNBA Draft, Suzy Batkovic will make her WNBA debut in the 2005 season. Anne Donovan drafted Batkovic knowing that she might not become available until after the 2004 Summer Olympics because of her overseas commitments, a risk Donovan was willing to take (only two players selected after Batkovic have seen action in a WNBA regular-season game). A veteran of international play in the WNBL and in Euroleague, Batkovic has plenty of experience playing alongside teammate Lauren Jackson for the Australian National Team. The Opals' starting center, Batkovic averaged 7.1 points during the Olympics and is a skilled high-post player.
