The 2023 WNBA draft will be held on Monday. It will be televised on ESPN from 7-9 p.m. EDT and be available on the ESPN app. Many predict South Carolina’s Aliyah Boston will be the No. 1 pick in the draft.
The WNBA held its 22nd annual draft lottery on Nov. 11 to determine the order and the Indiana Fever received the first pick.
Former South Carolina player Destanni Henderson was the No. 20 overall selection, by the Indiana Fever, in the 2022 WNBA draft. She was fresh off a national championship with South Carolina, and, you guessed it, Aliyah Boston.
Henderson was asked what it is like knowing she could possibly play with Boston again. This is the first time the Fever have had the No. 1 pick in the draft and it seems like fate.
"I felt like it could be possible, but I didn't think it would happen this way."

While nothing is set in stone and the Fever could do many things with this draft pick, the odds point toward Henderson and Boston playing together once again.
