Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever teammate Lexie Hull is excited for her team in the newly formed 3-on-3 Unrivaled Basketball League. She is part of the Rose Basketball Club, which also features Chicago Sky All-Star Angel Reese.
Rose BC recently shared a carousel of photos on their Instagram profile showcasing their roster for Unrivaled, which will tip off its inaugural season on Jan. 17 in Miami. In the photos, the players are styled and holding roses as they pose.
The team captioned its post with:
"YOUR HALF DOZEN ROSES HAVE ARRIVED 🌹 #Rosebc"
Lexie Hull took to the comments section to share her thoughts on the photos, writing:
"Look how cuuuuuute ❤️❤️❤️"
Apart from Lexie Hull and Reese, Chelsea Gray (Las Vegas Aces), Kahleah Copper (Phoenix Mercury), Brittney Sykes (Washington Mystics) and Azura Stevens (LA Sparks) are also part of Rose BC. They are to be coached by former college player and coach and Connecticut Sun intern Nola Henry.
The team is one of six teams set to see action in the inaugural season of Unrivaled, a league co-founded by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart (New York Liberty) and Napheesa Collier (Minnesota).
The league is envisioned to provide a viable alternative for women's professional players to showcase their game and earn good money. Unrivaled will run for three months with all the games broadcast over Warner Bros. Discovery's TNT Sports.
Lexie Hull joins Unrivaled after an eventful WNBA campaign
Lexie Hull will play in the Unrivaled Basketball League, coming off an eventful WNBA campaign where she experienced both individual and team success with the Indiana Fever.
Playing alongside do-it-all rookie Caitlin Clark in her third year in the league, Hull found her spot in the team's offense to post a career-high 5.5 points and 47.1% 3-point percentage last season. She also helped the Fever reach the playoffs for the first time after eight years while earning Sixth Woman of the Year award consideration.
Her effective play had her teammates singing praises of her, including WNBA Rookie of the Year Clark, who viewed her as a source of inspiration, writing in the comments section of the Fever's post on Hull on Instagram some weeks back:
"She's inspiring... truly"
Off the court, Lexie Hull and Clark also bonded, which did wonders for their on-court dynamic through the course of the season.
In three seasons so far with the Fever, following a standout collegiate career at Stanford, Hull has posted averages of 4.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and a steal in 90 games.
Now in Unrivaled, she is going to be counted on to provide her trademark hustle on both ends and outside marksmanship for the Rose Basketball Club.
