2023 WNBA Draft: Aliyah Boston, South Carolina's most decorated star, selected No. 1 overall by Indiana Fever

NEW YORK — The Indiana Fever made it official and selected former National Player of the Year Aliyah Boston with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft on Monday night at Spring Studios.

The South Carolina center is the team's first No. 1 selection in league history after the Fever won the lottery for the first time in November. She is the second No. 1 pick out of South Carolina, joining reigning Las Vegas Aces champion A'ja Wilson in 2018.

Boston joins a young squad that includes four 2022 first-round picks and former teammate Destanni Henderson, who was selected in the second round of last year's draft.
