Summary

The Indiana Fever are actively assessing their needs for guard depth ahead of the WNBA draft. Scheduled for April 13 in New York, the league's draft event will proceed as planned. ESPN analyst Ryan Ruocco highlighted Raven Johnson, a standout from South Carolina, as a potentially ideal backup point guard for the Fever.
Ruocco noted that Johnson has substantially boosted her draft prospects over the past year. Her development has altered the trajectory of her professional career, leading to career highs in scoring, assists, and shooting percentages during her final season. This strong performance could see her selected in the first round.
Beyond Johnson, Ruocco also identified other promising point guard prospects for the Fever to consider. Kentucky's Tonie Morgan and Duke's Taina Mair were mentioned as interesting draft possibilities, with the potential to quickly become effective backup players in the WNBA.
The Fever hold significant draft capital with picks at No. 10, No. 25, and No. 40. The expanded WNBA, now including expansion teams, will feature 45 total picks across three rounds.
