Natisha Hiedeman (born February 10, 1997) is an American professional women’s basketball guard with the Connecticut Sun of the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA). She was drafted with the eighteenth overall pick in the 2019 WNBA Draft, which is the highest of any Marquette basketball player in school history and the highest draft pick for the Big East Conference since conference re-alignment.
College career
Hiedeman was recruited to Marquette after being the leading scorer in the Green Bay Metro area in high school while attending Green Bay Southwest High School. Hiedeman’s brother is Maccabi Tel Aviv B.C. player Sandy Cohen. In her first year at Marquette, she was named to the Big East All-Freshman Team. In the 2017–18 season, she was named to the Meyers Drysdale Award Watch List. Hiedeman finished her career as Marquette’s third all-time leading scorer, just 27 points shy of the program record. Additionally, she was the first Marquette player to reach 300 made three-pointers and finished sixth on Marquette’s all-time assist chart.
WNBA career
Hiedeman was drafted 18th overall in the 2019 WNBA Draft by the Minnesota Lynx. During the draft, her rights were traded to the Connecticut Sun in exchange for Lexie Brown. She was eventually waived by the Sun. On June 19, 2019, the Atlanta Dream signed Hiedeman as a EuroBasket replacement for Alex Bentley. Hiedeman did not make an appearance for the Dream before Bentley returned to the team. Upon Bentley’s return, Hiedeman was waived.
Hiedman was resigned by the Sun after her exit from Atlanta. She appeared in her first WNBA game with the Sun. On July 10, she scored her first WNBA points.
