When the Indiana Fever drafted power forward Natalie Achonwa in 2014, she was still recovering from a knee injury she sustained in the NCAA playoffs while she played for Notre Dame. So, her rookie year didn’t technically start until 2015. 

After several years with the bottom-ranking Fever, Achonwa left to sign a multi-year deal with the Minnesota Lynx as a free agent, earninhg $164,500 annually. She has three medals from representing Canada in the AmeriCup and Pan American games.
