Lexie started tonight with Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston. So great to see her!

For anyone following closer, what is her role?  Is she a defensive stopper?  She doesn't seem to fill up the stat sheet in any category.

Yes, Lexie is making a name for herself as a defender. She has been on the Athletes Unlimited all defensive teams 2 years in a row. On the Fever, with Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell as guards and Boston and Nalissa Smith as bigs, there aren't many shots to go around or defensive rebounds to be grabbed. So she won't put up big numbers in the box score. However, when she's in the game, she is always defending the other team's best guard and sometimes their best forward. She is an incredible defender, always hustling with active hands just like at Stanford. However, much like the NBA, it's nearly impossible to stop some of the best WNBA guards 1x1. I find it very fun to watch and root for Lexie.
