LaDazhia Williams was drafted by the Indiana Fever as the 17th overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft Monday night.
Williams, a graduate senior from Bradenton, Florida, averaged 9.9 points per game and six rebounds while shooting 55.4% from the field. After transferring from the University of Missouri, this was her lone season in Baton Rouge.

In the national championship game against Iowa, Williams recorded 20 points with five rebounds and three steals.
