Pros and cons of Indiana Fever taking South Carolina’s Bree Hall in 2025 WNBA Draft
South Carolina women’s basketball guard Bree Hall was selected by the Indiana Fever with the 20th overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft on April 14.
She was the second South Carolina player drafted. Te-Hina Paopao was selected by the Atlanta Dream in the second round at No. 18, and Sania Feagin was picked at No. 21 by the Los Angeles Sparks.
Hall was not one of the 16 hopefuls invited to attend the draft at The Shed at Hudson Yards in Manhattan, New York, so she was watching back home with her family.
Aliyah Boston, Hall’s former teammate from South Carolina, is the Fever’s star forward/center. The two won a national championship together in 2022.
The positives for South Carolina’s Bree Hall
Hall, a 6-foot guard, is an experienced player, with more games than any four-year player in program history. She left South Carolina with two national titles, four Final Four appearances and three SEC Tournament championships.

She is one of the best defenders in the draft class, and coach Dawn Staley said Hall is in her top five of all-time defenders she has coached. Hall’s on-ball defense is elite, and throughout her career, she has shut down some of the conference’s premier scorers.
Hall got the nickname “Big Shot Breezy” after shooting some clutch 3-pointers in big games, including the regular-season win over LSU on Jan. 25, 2024.
She’s lanky, quick and intelligent, which allowed Staley to trust her in huge moments on both offense and defense.
The concerns for South Carolina’s Bree Hall
Hall is not as dominant on offense, mainly because of the system she played in at South Carolina. She averaged just 6.3 points this season, whereas in 2023-24, she averaged 9.2. Her 3-point shooting also decreased from 44% to 38.2%, and her assists per game dropped from 1.5 to 1.0.
She makes great passes and can knock down the occasional spot-up 3-pointer, but it might be a concern that her offense isn’t as productive and consistent as her defense is.
Final thoughts
A lot of WNBA teams look for offense first, which may hurt Hall’s chances, but if she proves in training camp that she can bring her offensive domination up to speed with what she brings on the defensive level, she can be a dependable guard off the bench.
