Ranking all 10 of Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever teammates

The arrival of Caitlin Clark has put the Indiana Fever at the center of the WNBA spotlight. Clark is a generational talent who has helped transform the league and inject new energy into a franchise long searching for relevance.

But while Clark's talent is the undeniable centerpiece, the team's success hinges on the collective strength of her supporting cast. Clark is the focal point, no question, but if Indiana hopes to turn into true title contenders, it’ll take more than just one star.

The good news is that the Fever have surrounded Clark with plenty of talented teammates. This isn’t a one-woman show. From future Hall of Famers to numerous current All-Stars, the Fever’s roster has significantly improved around Clark, even within just the last few months.

As the Fever navigate a 2025 season filled with lofty expectations, every teammate’s contribution matters. Here’s our ranking of every non-Caitlin Clark player on Indiana’s roster.

Ranking all of Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever teammates

1. C Aliyah Boston

The 2023 No. 1 overall pick and former Rookie of the Year, Aliyah Boston is arguably the most crucial piece alongside Clark on the Fever's roster. Now in her third professional season, Boston has firmly established herself as a dominant interior force.

In the 2024 season, Boston showcased her impact by averaging 17.4 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game. Her chemistry with Clark has been evident, as she and Indiana’s star point guard have formed one of the best pick-and-roll duos in the WNBA.

She also anchors the Fever's defense, using her length and athleticism to protect the rim and box out opposing players. Boston is a double-double machine and one of the league’s best bigs, making her an indispensable piece of the Fever's present and future.

2. SG Kelsey Mitchell

If Aliyah Boston is the paint anchor and Caitlin Clark is the sharpshooting maestro, then Kelsey Mitchell is the Fever's fiery, long-standing scorer who helps keep defenses honest.

Mitchell's loyalty to Indiana is a story in and of itself. She's been a consistent cornerstone for this franchise since being drafted second overall in 2018. Despite widespread speculation and rumors that she might explore other options this past offseason, Mitchell opted to re-sign with the Fever.

She was absolutely electric in 2024, averaging a career-best 19.2 points per game and showcasing her elite shooting by hitting 40.2% from three-point range. Her ability to create her own shot, often with a defender draped all over her, makes her one of the best two-way scorers in the league.

Mitchell is a veteran leader who understands the WNBA grind. She and Clark form one of the league’s most potent backcourts. 

3. PF Natasha Howard

Natasha Howard has already proven her worth in her return to Indiana this year. The three-time WNBA champion and 2019 Defensive Player of the Year, originally drafted fifth overall by the Fever in 2014, signed a one-year deal this offseason, reuniting with head coach Stephanie White.

Howard's veteran presence was immediately felt when she led the team with 26 points in an 81–76 victory over the Atlanta Dream last week, stepping up on a night when Caitlin Clark struggled offensively.

Her experience and leadership have quickly made her an integral part of Indiana's core and a major piece in the franchise's offseason overhaul. The two-time All-Star is the exact kind of veteran frontcourt presence the Fever needed.

4. SF/SG DeWanna Bonner

Howard wasn’t the only high-profile addition made by the Fever this offseason, as Indiana also brought in a surefire future Hall of Famer in the great DeWanna Bonner. 

Bonner followed new head coach Stephanie White from the Connecticut Sun, with the clear goal of providing championship experience to this burgeoning Fever roster. The results have been mixed to this point.

Bonner surpassed Tina Thompson to become the WNBA's third all-time leading scorer in her Fever debut, but she’s struggled to find her footing in Indiana. The six-time All-Star was even moved to the bench recently in favor of Lexie Hull.

Still, Bonner is one of the best players in WNBA history and is fresh off another strong season with the Sun in 2024. The Fever will give her ample time to turn things around, and based on her recent performances, that turnaround has already started.

5. PG/SG Sophie Cunningham

Sophie Cunningham joined the Fever in February as part of a four-team trade that also brought the No. 19 pick in the WNBA Draft to Indiana. After missing the first two games of the season due to an ankle sprain, Cunningham wasted little time making an impact off the bench.

Cunningham finished with nine points, six rebounds, and three assists in her debut against the Dream last week. Transitioning from her previous role as a starter in Phoenix, Cunningham has embraced her position as the primary backup ball-handler behind Caitlin Clark.

She spaces the floor with her shooting and provides solid defense. Her versatility and veteran presence have quickly made her a key contributor to the Fever's second unit.

6. SG/SF Lexie Hull

Lexie Hull has quietly become one of the Indiana Fever's most indispensable players. Drafted sixth overall in 2022, she has steadily evolved into a reliable two-way contributor.

In 2024, Hull led the WNBA in three-point shooting percentage at 47.8% while her defensive prowess further solidifies her value to the team.

Recently, Hull was promoted to the starting lineup in place of DeWanna Bonner and made an immediate impact, scoring 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting, including 2-of-2 from beyond the arc. Hull has become a cornerstone of Indiana's core and arguably the most underrated player on the roster.

7. C Damiris Dantas

A versatile veteran forward, Damiris Dantas has quietly become a reliable piece in Indiana’s frontcourt. She brings size, floor spacing, and a steady presence off the bench. While not flashy, Dantas is smart, tough, and can play both the four and five in a pinch, making her a useful bench piece.

Dantas has over a decade of experience playing professional ball and is in the middle of her second year with the Fever. There’s a large gap between the top six players on this list and the others, but Dantas is probably the best of the rest right now.

8. PG Sydney Colson

Sydney Colson’s value isn’t measured by stats. The 35-year-old veteran brings leadership, humor, and professionalism to the locker room, something a young, high-profile team like the Fever badly needs.

She likely won’t play much unless injuries strike, but her voice and experience matter, especially for Caitlin Clark and the other young guards. Colson is the well-traveled veteran voice every basketball locker room needs.

9. PF/C Brianna Turner

Brianna Turner was once one of the league’s better defenders, but her minutes and overall role have taken a step back in recent years. Turner joined the Fever this February after struggling to crack Chicago’s rotation last season.

She’s still capable of protecting the rim and switching onto wings, but the offensive limitations and inconsistencies have pushed her further down the rotation. Still, Turner can be a helpful depth piece in the right matchups.

10. PF Makayla Timpson

A second-round pick in this year’s WNBA Draft, Makayla Timpson is more of a long-term project than an immediate contributor. The 6-foot-2 forward brings physicality, energy, and genuine upside, especially on the defensive end.

She impressed at Florida State with her rebounding and toughness, but she’s firmly outside Indiana’s rotation for now. Timpson has only appeared in one game for the Fever this season at the time of writing.
