Caitlin Clark-Lexie Hull's friendship could prove crucial for Indiana next season

When the Indiana Fever selected Caitlin Clark as the No. 1 overall choice in the 2024 WNBA draft, it was expected that Lexie Hull's role would diminish. Hull started most games in the 2023 season, but Clark's arrival significantly overshadowed her position.

Contrary to expectations, Hull's impact exceeded predictions. While she was eventually removed from the starting lineup, Hull utilized her role more effectively than ever.

Hull's numbers dramatically improved following Clark's arrival, as they also developed a close friendship with each other. After shooting 18.6% and 21.7% from the 3-point line in her first two seasons, Hull shot over 47% from beyond the arc last season. She also achieved a career-high 44.1% shooting from the field.

During the break, Clark, Hull and Katie Lou Samuelson, all went for a group vacation with their partners to Mexico. When the last season came to an end, Clark and Hull even went for a drive around and tasted food around Indianapolis.

With a stacked roster heading into the next season, the Fever can fully capitalize on Hull's improved shooting skills. Clark's playmaking ability makes her the perfect teammate to set Hull up for open shots.
