The Indiana Fever selected former guard Feyonda Fitzgerald with the 20th overall pick and eighth pick in the second round of Thursday’s WNBA draft in New York. FanRag Sports Network predicted Fitzgerald would be selected 18th by the Washington Mystics.

The Fever went 17-17 in 2016 and earned the fifth seed in the WNBA playoffs. Tamika Catchings, the league’s second all-time leading scorer, retired at season’s end.
