Aliyah Boston was the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft on Monday night, going to the Indiana Fever.
It's the first time that the Fever have had the top choice in the draft, and they chose the South Carolina star. Boston, a three-time Associated Press All-American who also was the Player of the Year as a junior, will solidify the post for Indiana.
'It's really special, I'm thankful to God for putting me in this position,' said the 21-year-old Boston, from the US Virgin Islands.
'Everyone in Indiana, they saw something in me, I'm ready to get there and get to work.'
The Fever had the worst record in the league last season, going 5-31.
'Aliyah Boston will have an immediate impact on our franchise on and off the court,' Fever GM Lin Dunn said.
