The four-time WNBA champion said the Fever could potentially become a title-contending team with the signings and trades they made. Swoopes credited Indiana for adding DeWanna Bonner and Natasha Howard, true veterans who she thought could help the team become a championship-caliber group.

Additionally, she credited the work that Clark put in the gym. During the offseason, the reigning Rookie of the Year went viral after a picture of her flexing her muscles. According to Swoopes, she knows the Fever star has been working on her game to get ready for her sophomore season.
