"Makayla Timpson was someone we had high on our draft board, so when she fell to us at No. 19 we were thrilled," Fever COO and General Manager Amber Cox said via IndyStar.com. "A defensive powerhouse [who] had an incredible year this year at Florida State."
Makayla is coming off an impressive final season at Florida State, averaging a double-double of 17.5 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.8 steals and the league's third-best 3.1 blocks per game. The 6-foot-2 forward also improved offensively in the previous season, shooting 54.3% as her average climbed from 14.3 points in the prior year.
