NaLyssa Smith

The No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 WNBA Draft appeared in (and started) 32 games as a rookie, notching averages of 13.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.8 combined steals/blocks per game. Her scoring and rebounding averages led all first-year players. Smith also shot 41.9 percent from the field and an impressive 38.1 percent from three (1.2 3PM/G). Heading into Year 2, Smith will continue to be the focus of the Fever's rebuild. She projects to start at one forward spot and team with Kelsey Mitchell to handle much of the offensive workload.
