Full Review: Indiana Fever’s 2025 WNBA Draft Selections
The Indiana Fever made calculated moves in the 2025 WNBA Draft to bolster their defensive presence and complement their rising talent.
With picks at No. 19, 20, and 33, the Fever focused on adding versatile, defense-oriented players who could strengthen their roster.
Pick No. 19 – Makayla Timpson | Florida State
The 6’2″ forward carries an impressive 6’10” wingspan and finished her college career as Florida State’s all-time leader in double-doubles with 47.
Known for her defensive prowess, Timpson averaged a double-double with three blocks per game, earning ACC All-Defensive honors three times.
Her skill set promises to bring a crucial edge to the Fever’s defense.
Pick No. 20 – Bree Hall | South Carolina
Hall was a key contributor to the Gamecocks’ success, appearing in four Final Fours and winning two national championships.
Her elite defensive capabilities earned her a spot on coach Dawn Staley’s all-time defensive team.
Hall’s height and tenacity make her a valuable addition to Indiana’s backcourt.
Pick No. 33 – Yvonne Ejim | Gonzaga
Ejim, a two-time WCC Player and Defensive Player of the Year, adds further depth to Indiana’s roster.
Her experience with the Canadian Olympic team and versatile skills in both post and face-up play align with the Fever’s goal of enhancing defensive versatility.
The Fever’s approach to this draft reflects their commitment to shoring up their defense under Coach Stephanie White’s philosophy.
By adding players with high motors and defensive flexibility, Indiana aims to maintain its upward momentum following last year’s success.
With these fresh talents on board, the Fever is poised to make a stronger push in the 2025 season.
