Indiana Fever team building...

[CP87]

Well, they have Clark, Boston, and Mitchell back for next year. They lost Temi, and it sounds like they will lose Wheeler.

I assume Hull is coming back. Beyond that core-4, who else is going to contribute on the court in '25?

There has been a lot of Sabally talk, that would definitely be huge. I kind of think she will end up in a bigger metro area.

I am curious about Dewanna Bonner. Her fiancee just got traded to another team, and Bonner is at the tail-end of her career (37 years old). Does she want to take a year flyer on Clark and co. to see if something magical happens? Or does she try to tag onto an established contender? Her length, defense, and skill level could really unlock some small-ball options for the Fever (WNBA does NOT do small ball, so this would throw teams off), and by all accounts she is the consummate pro and an all-around great person.

I see they're going to play an exhibition game in Carver in May (siap). Going to cost quite a few pennies to get into that one.

Vs. the Brazilian National Team...Guyton's mom played for the Brazilian National team, and I think Guyton might, as well.

edit: might be some Boston vs. Cardoso action, too (old USC teammate vs. teammate)

Going to be an awesome day in Carver that day. Anyone know when tickets go on sale?

The Fever still have N. Smith, who started most of last year. Smith's minutes went down in the playoffs, which confused me a little. I guess the coach was looking for better defense? Not sure. Smith is still relatively young and might flourish under a new coach. Or Smith might get traded if the Fever pick up Sabally.

Wheeler did not play a lot of minutes because she kinda was Caitlin's backup last year, but I think her veteran leadership will be missed.

Lexie Hull was a pleasant surprise for the Fever last year, going from rarely playing to starting, and she has the added bonus she seemed to become Caitlin's new best friend at the end of last season.
