Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images, Darren Yamashita-Imagn ImagesThe Indiana Fever drafted point guard Raven Johnson out of the University of South Carolina in the first round of the 2026 WNBA draft. Through three preseason games, Johnson showed exactly why she was drafted in the first round, flashing both her disruptive ability on the defense, as well as her ability to ball handle and run the point, which should make Caitlin Clarks job much easier.At Mondays practice, Johnson was asked about what shes learned from head coach Stephanie White.Oh, shes funny, Johnson said. Dont tell her this, but her wife came to practice the other day, and I was like, Dang! You got some taste! Her wife is beautiful.'Raven Johnson was impressed with Stephanie Whites partner Lisa Salters (via @RomeovilleKid) pic.twitter.com/ESAIFdIWir Just Womens Sports (@justwsports) May 4, 2026Reporters laughed at Johnsons candidness.Shes teaching me a lot of things, she gets on me.
