WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes recently appeared on Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese’s podcast, “Unapologetically Angel,” where they delved into discussions about leading players in the league and shared their WNBA title predictions. During the episode, Swoopes highlighted Indiana Fever star Kelsey Mitchell, labeling her a “bucket” due to her exceptional scoring ability.
Mitchell had an impressive season, averaging 19.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game. Her scoring efficiency was particularly notable, as she shot 46.8% from the field and 40.6% from beyond the arc. Despite sharing the court with ball-dominant rookie Caitlin Clark, Mitchell continued to shine as one of the league’s premier scorers.
Her performance played a crucial role in leading the Fever to their first playoff appearance since 2016. Unfortunately, they were eliminated in the first round by the Connecticut Sun, but Mitchell’s consistent scoring throughout the season solidified her reputation as an elite player in the WNBA.
