The Indiana Fever selected Ohio State guard Celeste Taylor with the 15th overall pick in the WNBA draft. After selecting Iowa guard Caitlin Clark first overall, the Fever took Taylor with the third pick of the second round (No. 15 overall).

Taylor comes to Indiana after one year at Ohio State and five years of college basketball. Taylor played the first two seasons of her career at Texas before spending two seasons at Duke and her final year with Ohio State.

According to head coach Christie Sides, the Fever were eyeing Taylor last spring before she opted to return for her fifth year of eligibility. Sides likes that Taylor has played for multiple programs.

"That means she's been able to adjust, so that can help her when she gets here," Sides said.

Taylor averaged 10.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.5 steals per game with the Buckeyes in 2023-24. Taylor was the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, as she had experience guarding Clark when the two faced off in Big Ten play. Taylor was also second-team All-Big Ten this season. Sides added that Taylor's athleticism was a major factor in the Fever selecting her.
