Jana Vesela is one of those players who have the capacity to excel in just about every facet of the game due to her all round ability and athleticism. With her dominating size complimenting her skill-set, she really does give opposing defences a big headache as she can score both inside and out. She is equally influential at the defensive end, with steals, rebounds and blocks also part of her forte. Not surprisingly her all-round game and work ethic means she is one of the leading players for the Czech Republic and also a potential go-to player down the stretch of any big game. In addition to her medals with the National Team, Vesela has won titles on both sides of the Atlantic having secured EuroLeague Women Championship back in 2006 and the WNBA play-offs in her rookie season with Seattle Storm last year.
