If you’ve spent any time watching the Indiana Fever lately, you’ve probably noticed number 10 flying around the court like her hair is on fire. Lexie Hull has this specific kind of energy that makes her look like she's everywhere at once. But when she’s standing next to teammates like Aliyah Boston or matching up against some of the league's bigger wings, a question always pops up among fans: how tall is Lexie Hull exactly?
There is a weird thing that happens in the WNBA where players often look shorter than they actually are because of the sheer scale of the athletes around them. Honestly, Lexie is a perfect example of this. She plays a scrappy, floor-diving style of basketball that feels very "point guard," but her actual measurements tell a different story.
The Official Word on Lexie Hull’s Height
Let’s get the hard data out of the way first. According to the official WNBA roster and her profile with the Indiana Fever, Lexie Hull is 6 feet 1 inch tall (which is about 185 cm for those of you tracking internationally).
She isn't just a "big guard" in name only. Standing at 6'1", she actually has a significant height advantage over many of the premier point guards in the league. For context, she’s an inch taller than her teammate Caitlin Clark, who is listed at 6'0".
- Official Height: 6-1
- Weight: 155 lbs
- Wingspan Impact: High (though official wingspan stats are harder to pin down, her block and steal rates suggest a long reach)
It’s easy to misjudge her size because she’s lean. At 155 pounds, she has a slender build that makes her look more like a traditional shooting guard, but that height allows her to play a "3-and-D" role where she can realistically bother small forwards and taller wings on the perimeter.
Why Her Height Matters for the Indiana Fever
In the 2024 and 2025 seasons, we saw Lexie’s role evolve from a bench spark plug to a legitimate starting-caliber threat. When you’re 6'1" and can shoot 47% from deep—like she did during that incredible stretch in late 2024—you become a nightmare to guard.

Most teams try to put their smaller, quicker guards on her to keep up with her movement. Bad idea. She literally just shoots over them. If they put a bigger defender on her, she uses that Stanford-educated high-IQ movement to lose them in screens.
The Versatility Factor
Because of her 6'1" frame, she gives the Fever coaching staff a lot of "switchability." Basically, if there’s a screen and Lexie ends up guarding a forward, the team doesn't immediately panic. She has the length to contest shots even if she’s giving up a bit of muscle.
You’ve probably seen her grabbing rebounds that she has no business getting. In 2025, she averaged a career-high 4.3 rebounds per game. That’s not just "hustle"—that’s a 6'1" athlete using her reach to pluck the ball away from players who aren't used to a guard being that high up in the air.
The Twin Factor: Lexie vs. Lacie
You can't talk about Lexie without mentioning her identical twin sister, Lacie Hull. They played together at Stanford, and if you think keeping track of one 6'1" defensive specialist is hard, imagine trying to scout two of them.
Lacie is also listed at 6'1". While Lacie didn't pursue the WNBA with the same trajectory as Lexie (who was the 6th overall pick in 2022), the two of them essentially spent their entire lives playing one-on-one. When you grow up playing against someone exactly your height, with your exact reach and your exact speed, you develop a very specific set of skills. You learn how to find the tiniest windows to shoot. You learn how to use your length to disrupt a mirror image of yourself.

Comparing Lexie to Other WNBA Guards
To really understand where Lexie sits in the league hierarchy, you have to look at the "big guard" era we are currently in.
- Kelsey Plum: 5'8" (Lexie towers over her)
- Caitlin Clark: 6'0" (Lexie has the slight edge)
- Sophie Cunningham: 6'1" (They are basically the same size)
- Jackie Young: 6'0" (Lexie is slightly taller but lighter)
It’s sort of wild to think that Lexie is taller than the most famous shooter in the world, but the tape doesn't lie. Her height is one of the reasons she was such a high draft pick out of Stanford. Teams weren't just betting on her 3-point shot; they were betting on a 6'1" frame that could defend multiple positions at the professional level.
From Spokane to the Pros: A Consistent Growth
Lexie has been this tall since late high school. At Central Valley High in Spokane, she was basically a cheat code. Imagine being a 6'1" guard in a high school league where the average center is maybe 5'11". She finished her high school career as the school’s all-time leading scorer, and a huge chunk of that was simply being able to shoot over anyone who tried to close out on her.
By the time she got to Stanford, she was the "prototype" for what Tara VanDerveer looks for: length, smarts, and a motor that never stops.
Misconceptions About Her Size
I’ve seen people on Twitter (or X, whatever we're calling it now) claim she's "too small" to handle the physicality of the WNBA.

That’s mostly nonsense.
While she’s definitely on the thinner side compared to some of the powerhouse guards like Ariel Powers or Natasha Cloud, she uses her height to compensate. She isn't trying to out-muscle people in the post; she's using those 6'1" levers to poke the ball away or tip passes. In 2023, she was the Athletes Unlimited Defensive Player of the Year. You don't get that award if you're getting bullied on the court.
What's Next for the 6'1" Sniper?
As we move through the 2026 season, Lexie's height and length are going to be even more critical. The Fever are building a roster that is incredibly fast and relatively tall. With a backcourt that features Lexie and Caitlin, you have two players who can both see over the defense.
She's already proven she can hit the "career-high" marks—like that 23-point explosion against Minnesota—and as her confidence grows, she's becoming more aggressive in using her size to finish at the rim rather than just settling for the three.
If you want to keep an eye on her progression, watch her defensive stance. She stays low, but when she rises up to contest a shot, that 6'1" frame looks a lot more like 6'4" to the person trying to shoot over her.
Actionable Insight for Fans: If you're betting on player props or playing fantasy WNBA, don't sleep on Lexie Hull’s rebounding and block totals. Because she is listed as a guard, people expect "guard stats," but her 6'1" height consistently allows her to over-perform in categories usually reserved for small forwards. Check her recent game logs; she is a sneaky source of "stocks" (steals + blocks) purely because of that reach.
