The Indiana Fever are on the brink of something extraordinary, and it’s not just about Caitlin Clark. But here’s where it gets controversial: could a 'relentless' guard from UCLA be the missing piece to their championship puzzle? With Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell already in the fold, the Fever are poised to dominate the WNBA for years to come. But the real question is: who will join them next? Enter Gabriela Jaquez, a 22-year-old guard/forward from the UCLA Bruins, who Bleacher Report predicts will land in Indiana with the 10th pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft. Jaquez isn’t just another player—she’s a natural fit alongside high-usage stars like Clark and Mitchell, offering a blend of versatility, defensive smarts, and an improving offensive game. And this is the part most people miss: while her 42 percent 3-point shooting this season is impressive, it’s her non-stop motor and instinctive play that make her a day-one contributor in the WNBA. But here’s the catch: her long-range accuracy drops to 27 percent in Big Ten play, raising questions about consistency. Is Jaquez the steal of the draft, or is her potential overhyped? If her shot holds up, the Fever could be getting a future star at a bargain. If not, they might be banking on potential over proven performance. Either way, this draft pick could define the Fever’s trajectory in the Caitlin Clark era. What do you think? Is Jaquez the right choice, or should the Fever look elsewhere? Let’s debate it in the comments!
