As she grew as a player, Hull’s minutes increased. Indiana selected Caitlin Clark with the top pick in 2024, and her role in the offense began to take off. She received votes as Sixth Woman of the Year in 2024 and then achieved a career-high 7.2 points per game. game in 2025. She started 30 of the 44 games she appeared in under head coach Stephanie White.
Hull has been a part of the Clark experience and the increased support and spotlight the Fever have received since the WNBA star entered the league.

Indiana has also been part of some of the more intense matchups in the league since the 2024 season. Fever players Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham were part of heated moments against the Connecticut Sun. Hull told Glamor that she felt like the team has a bit of a target on their backs.
“I think there’s a level of jealousy when it comes to the fever, just because of the media attention and the fans that have shown up for us ever since Caitlin got here,” she said. “We’ve heard people and players and teams talking in their dressing rooms about, ‘We can’t let the fever win’.”
Hull suggested that these claims were not necessarily a bad thing.

“If you have extra motivation to beat us because of something out of our control, that’s fine if that’s what it takes for you guys to come and try extra hard,” she added. “I think a little bit of that is needed across the league … Everyone needs to feel like they’re getting everyone else’s best, and I feel like we’re getting everyone else’s best.”
Hull enters his fourth season with the Fever. The WNBA and its players union hope to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement. The current agreement expires later this week.
