Here is the pool of players the Indiana Fever will be considering for their 2023 roster:
- Kelsey Mitchell, starting SG ($206,000)
- Erica Wheeler, starting PG ($202,154)
- Victoria Vivians, starting SF ($135,000)
- Emma Cannon, second PF ($80,000)
- No. 1 pick (most likely Aliyah Boston), starting C ($74,305)
- NaLyssa Smith, starting PF ($73,584)
- Emily Engstler, second SF ($73,584)
- No. 7 pick ($71,300)
- Maya Caldwell, second SG ($68,000)
- Queen Egbo, second C ($67,634)
- Kristy Wallace, third SG ($64,657)
- No. 13 pick ($65,290)
- Destanni Henderson, second PG ($64,657)
- Lexie Hull, fourth SG ($70,609)
- No. 17 pick $65,290
- No. 25 pick $62,285
The Fever should consider taking a point guard at either No. 7 or No. 13 to compete with Destanni Henderson in training camp, unless they believe in Henderson’s high ceiling enough to consider her the backup (or starting) PG of the future. With the pick they don’t use to take a PG, which, as mentioned, could be both, they should take the best player available.
ESPN has the Fever taking shooting guard Brea Beal (South Carolina) at No. 7, Winsidr has them taking small forward Ashley Joens (Iowa State) and Just Women’s Sports has them indeed taking a point guard in Grace Berger (Indiana).
Taking Beal would give them one of the best defenders in…
