A fun but heated debate broke out online when a WNBA page asked fans to rank Sophie Cunningham, Lexie Hull, and Caitlin Clark as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd best players on the Indiana Fever. The post quickly gained traction — but it wasn’t just about those three names.
Many fans immediately argued that the list felt incomplete without Kelsey Mitchell, who has been the Fever’s steady star and offensive engine for years. Some even said Mitchell deserves to be at the very top of the ranking.
What fans are saying:
“No way you leave Kelsey Mitchell out, she’s the backbone of the team.”
“Clark is box office, but Mitchell is the most consistent.”
“Hull and Cunningham bring energy, but Mitchell is 1st on my list.”
“Clark is the future, but Mitchell has been doing it for seasons.”
The debate has turned into more than just comparing numbers — it’s about impact, consistency, and leadership.
My take:
Kelsey Mitchell definitely has to be in the conversation. Based on performance and influence, I’d rank it:
1. Kelsey Mitchell
2. Caitlin Clark
3. Sophie Cunningham / Lexie Hull (toss-up depending on the night)
Mitchell’s scoring ability and leadership are unmatched, while Clark’s star power and playmaking keep her right behind. Cunningham and Hull both contribute hustle, shooting, and grit that round out the Fever’s core.
