Taylor Mikesell has been drafted at No. 13 in the WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever. Just one pick into the second round on Monday night.
Mikesell was a spark for the Ohio State Women’s basketball team from the time she arrived back in her home state. The Canton native started her career in Maryland, then headed out west to Oregon before realizing home is where it’s at. With two years remaining, the sharpshooter helped the Buckeyes reach a Sweet 16 in 2022 and the Elite Eight in 2023.
Now she’ll stay relatively close to home heading west about three hours on Interstate 70 to play professionally in Indianapolis.
Mikesell joins a star-studded draft class for Indiana. The Fever had two first-round picks in this year’s draft. With the No. 1 overall pick, Indiana took the best player in the draft, Aliyah Boston from South Carolina. Then with the No. 7 pick Indiana went a few miles south and selected Grace Berger from the University of Indiana.

The Fever is building a young nucleus that should be formidable for years to come.
