The Indiana Fever picked Aliyah Boston first overall in the WNBA Draft as the South Carolina Gamecocks made history with five players selected - including three in the first 10 picks.
The Fever spent their first No.1 draft pick in franchise history on the exceptional Boston, who led the Gamecocks to the National Championship in her junior year while she lost just nine games across her collegiate career. Boston was a three-time AP All-American and also the Player of the Year in her junior year.
In 2022, Boston swept all the National Player of the Year awards while she tallied 82 career double-doubles at South Carolina - the second-most in SEC history behind just Sylvia Fowles (86). The 21-year-old became the second top overall pick to come from the Gamecocks programme, joining two-time WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson after the Las Vegas Aces picked her in 2018.
