Lexie Hull watched Caitlin Clark's elite playmaking from up close

Lexie Hull and Caitlin Clark played pivotal roles in the Indiana Fever's successful 2024 season, helping the team break an eight-year playoff drought. Clark led the charge as the offensive orchestrator, while Hull emerged as one of the league's most elite 3-point shooters.

Hull finished the season with an impressive 47.1% shooting accuracy from beyond the arc, ranking second in the league. Her success was largely fueled by Clark’s exceptional playmaking, particularly in the second half of the season. The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year utilized her outstanding court vision to set up Hull with ample opportunities for open jump shots.

Clark, who led the league in assists during her rookie campaign, averaged an impressive 8.4 dimes per game, cementing her role as the driving force behind the Fever's resurgence.
