Aliyah Boston’s Offseason Decision Should Worry The WNBA
Although the talk of the Indiana Fever during the 2024 WNBA season was rookie guard Caitlin Clark, second-year forward Aliyah Boston also proved why she was the No. 1 pick in the 2023 WNBA draft.
The 6-foot-5 star out of South Carolina averaged 14.0 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in 40 games for Indiana this season. Her scoring went down by 0.5 points between her rookie and second seasons, but mainly because the ball was in the hands of the former Iowa star for a good portion of the year.
One area that Boston became drastically worse at was her three-point shooting, dropping from 40.0% in year one to just 26.9% in year two. However, the two-time All-Star has put an emphasis on improving her long-range shot to start the offseason.

In a video posted on X by WNBA Central, Boston went through a workout that included nothing but catch-and-shoot threes, making four-of-five. This would be the perfect area for the forward to improve in, given Clark’s playmaking skills. The idea of Clark and Boston adding pick-and-pops into their arsenal could mean trouble for the rest of the league.
Many WNBA fans understand the value that could be added to Indiana if Boston is able to get a consistent jumper, taking to social media to leave their thoughts.
“Fever will be deadly next year if she can do this consistently,” one fan said.
“AB has a beautiful shot. She’s going to turn into such an elite big once this becomes consistent”
“she add this to her bag man oh man”
“In the lab expanding her game. Can’t wait to see her development!”
“She gonna eat on pick and pops”
“uh oh”
Fever coach Christie Sides has drawn up some plays to get Boston an open look at a three. Most notably, Sides had her attempt a game-tying three with 16 seconds left against the Las Vegas Aces on Sept. 13. Boston missed. But, with an improvement in shooting before next season begins, Sides could keep those plays in her bag.
