In case anyone forgot, Caitlin Clark is not only an assist wizard but also a part-time hype machine. The Indiana Fever star recently dropped a short yet powerful review of her teammate Lexie Hull’s offseason grind. When the Fever posted a clip of Hull going all-in during her workout sessions, Clark couldn’t help but hit the comments section with a succinct chef’s kiss of praise: “She’s inspiring … truly.”
For those keeping score at home, that’s the kind of endorsement you want from your superstar point guard.
Lexie Hull: Sharpshooter and Silent Assassin
Hull’s offseason video was all business—weights clanging, trainers shouting, and Hull moving like a Terminator programmed for WNBA dominance. After a season that saw the Fever snap an eight-year playoff drought, fans are wondering if this “lab work” could signal an even bigger breakout for the sharpshooting Hull.
In case you missed it, Hull finished second in the league in 3-point shooting last season with a blistering 47.1% accuracy. To put it bluntly, leaving her open beyond the arc is basically inviting chaos for opposing defenses. Oh, and let’s not forget the part where she casually dropped 5.5 points per game while shooting 44.1% overall. Not bad for a player who spent most of the season getting overlooked—until she started hitting daggers.
Caitlin Clark’s Passing: A Cheat Code for Lexie
If Hull is the sniper, Clark is the mastermind feeding her ammo. Clark’s league-leading 8.4 assists per game were a big reason why Hull was able to torch defenses all season. It’s no wonder Hull sounded borderline flustered when describing Clark’s wizardry on “The Young Man and The Three” podcast.
“I definitely got passes I didn’t expect,” Hull admitted, essentially confirming that playing with Clark is like being in a live-action video game where she holds the cheat codes. “I’d be cutting, thinking the ball wasn’t coming, and suddenly it’s in my hands. She’s all the way on one end of the court, and I’m like, ‘How did this even happen?’”
Translation: Clark sees passes normal mortals wouldn’t dream of attempting—and Hull is reaping the benefits.
Hull’s Big Leap and What It Means for the Fever
As the Fever gear up for another season, the expectations for Hull are sky-high. She’s not just the team’s designated sharpshooter; she’s a linchpin in their newfound offensive flow. If her offseason hustle translates into even a modest bump in her scoring and rebounding numbers, Indiana could very well become the team nobody wants to face.
And don’t forget—Hull will also be flexing her skills in the inaugural 3×3 Unrivaled basketball league come January. Could this be the proving ground where she levels up even further? If her “lab sessions” are any indication, the answer might just be a resounding yes.
The Fever’s Renaissance
The Fever’s 2024 campaign wasn’t just a feel-good story—it was a seismic shift. The team finally escaped the WNBA’s basement thanks to contributions from both seasoned stars and emerging talents like Hull. With Clark running the show and Hull draining shots like a human cheat code, Indiana has gone from an afterthought to a legitimate contender.
But for now, we’ll leave you with this thought: If Lexie Hull’s offseason grind is “inspiring” to Caitlin Clark—the queen of relentless excellence—what should we, mere mortals, call it? Superhuman? Unstoppable? Downright scary for the rest of the league?
We’ll let the upcoming season do the talking. Stay tuned, folks—the Fever are heating up, and the league better be ready.
