The biggest question facing every WNBA team in training camp
WNBA training camps open with key questions for each team.
The Indiana Fever hold the No. 10, No. 25, and No. 40 picks in the upcoming WNBA draft. National media outlets are projecting various players for their first-round selection.
As the rapid-fire offseason schedule transitions into Monday night's WNBA draft, here's a roundup of who the national sports media outlets project the Indiana Fever to select with their first-round pick tonight.
Entering draft day, the Fever hold the No. 10, No. 25, and No. 40 overall selections in this year's draft, all of which originally belonged to them.
Without further ado, here are the Fever's first-round projections from the various national media outlets for this year's collegiate draft:
Kneepkens ended her college career shooting nearly 50-40-90, which is impressive and rare in today's college landscape. The UCLA guard's game isn't flashy, but it's often timely. Kneepkens knows how to step into the big moments, as she did in the national championship when she delivered two massive 3-point baskets during an extended Bruins' run.
It appears Johnson helped her draft stock plenty as a senior because of the traits she showed: leadership, maturity and resilience. We saw those qualities throughout her career at South Carolina, but they were key in helping the Gamecocks reach the national championship game again and end UConn's unbeaten season. Johnson was the SEC Defensive Player of the Year. She is very strong and can effectively guard a lot of different types of players.
Latson's numbers fell off a cliff this season after her transfer to South Carolina, but she came up with some big performances to help the Gamecocks reach the national championship game. She has an incredible ability to get downhill and finish at the rim despite her size, excels in transition and has improved as a defender under Dawn Staley. Latson could be a good fit in Indiana as a bench scorer.
The 2026 WNBA draft will take place at The Shed in Manhattan's Hudson Yards neighborhood in New York City, at 6 p.m. CT and will be broadcast on ESPN.
