Indiana Fever Make History with Five Draft Picks in 2023
Fever Select Aliyah Boston No. 1 Overall
Fever Acquire Additional First-Round Pick
The Indiana Fever have had a banner year in the WNBA Draft, securing five total picks in 2023, including an additional first-round pick at the coveted seventh overall selection. The Fever's draft haul sets a new franchise record for the most picks acquired in a single year.
The Fever made their first major move by selecting Aliyah Boston, a three-time AP All-America First Team selection from South Carolina, with the No. 1 overall pick. Boston, who is widely considered one of the best players in college basketball history, was named the 2022 national player of the year and led the Gamecocks to their second NCAA championship in program history.
In addition to Boston, the Fever also acquired the No. 7 overall pick in a trade with the Dallas Wings. The Fever are expected to use this pick to select a highly talented player who can complement Boston's inside-out game.
The Fever also hold the No. 21, No. 26, and No. 31 overall picks in the second round of the draft. These picks will give the Fever the opportunity to add depth to their roster and secure some of the most promising young players in the league.
The 2023 WNBA Draft is a historic moment for the Indiana Fever. With five total picks, including the No. 1 overall selection, the Fever have poised themselves to build a championship-contending team for years to come.
