Career

The first time that Meesseman was involved in a basketball club is when she joined Blue Cats Ieper when she was only 16 years old. Her second season marked the most, as she became the Belgium Championship Most Valuable Player.

Due to her performance, she was selected 19th overall by the Washington Mystics during the 2013 WNBA Draft. During her rookie season, she recorded 4.4 points and 3.1 rebounds per game. Her breakout season was in 2015 when her performance improved to 11.6 points with 6.3 rebounds per game.

In 2016, she signed with the Washington Mystics, however, by the following year, she was traded to the Chicago Sky for Stefanie Dolson. Fortunately, her performance was more refined than she was with the Mystics. In 2018, she joined the 2018 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup to play for her mother country, Belgium. After the game, she returned to the Mystics to play in the WNBA finals.
