Breaking: Bree Hall Heads to Indiana During the 2025 WNBA Draft
The Indiana Fever continued to bolster their backcourt during the 2025 WNBA Draft by selecting guard Bree Hall, a dynamic and versatile player out of the University of South Carolina. Known for her elite defense, clutch shot-making, and unselfish play, Hall brings a winning pedigree and veteran poise to an Indiana squad that’s steadily building a formidable young core.
Hall’s selection is another strong testament to the strength of Dawn Staley’s program at South Carolina, which has consistently produced WNBA-ready talent. While Hall may not have garnered the same spotlight as some of her higher-scoring teammates, her contributions were vital to the Gamecocks’ deep NCAA Tournament runs. Hall finished her senior season averaging 9.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game, shooting an efficient 44% from the field and over 36% from three-point range. But her true value extended well beyond the box score.
A tenacious perimeter defender, Hall often took on the challenge of guarding the opposing team’s top offensive threat. Her 6-foot frame, long arms, and lateral quickness made her a nightmare on the wing. Coaches and teammates alike praised her defensive instincts, vocal leadership, and ability to lock in during high-pressure situations. Those qualities make her an ideal fit for the Fever’s defensive-minded system under head coach Christie Sides.
Indiana’s front office saw in Hall a player who understands how to win and embraces her role. “Bree brings a toughness, maturity, and high basketball IQ that fits exactly what we’re building,” said Sides. “She’s a competitor and someone who makes winning plays—even when she doesn’t have the ball.”
That’s especially valuable on a team already stacked with offensive firepower. With Caitlin Clark orchestrating the offense and former No. 1 pick Aliyah Boston dominating the paint, Indiana needs players like Hall—defensive specialists who can knock down shots and make smart decisions. Hall’s ability to play both shooting guard and small forward gives the Fever additional flexibility in their rotation, and her experience playing alongside elite talent at South Carolina should ease her transition into the WNBA.
For Hall, the selection is a dream come true and an opportunity she’s ready to embrace with both hands. “I’m honored to join the Indiana Fever,” she said in her post-draft interview. “This is a team on the rise, and I’m excited to do whatever it takes to help us win. Whether it’s defense, knocking down shots, or bringing energy off the bench—I’m ready.”
The Fever are in the midst of a dramatic turnaround, one fueled by smart drafting and a clear organizational identity. Adding Hall is another strong step in that process. With her selfless mentality, big-game experience, and ability to impact both ends of the court, she’s the type of player who can grow into a trusted contributor in the WNBA.
As Indiana continues to build a team designed for sustained success, Bree Hall arrives as a glue player—someone who might not always fill up the stat sheet, but will make winning plays, hold teammates accountable, and give everything she has on every possession. In a league that values hustle, heart, and versatility, Bree Hall is exactly what the Fever ordered.
