The fifth overall pick in the 2014 WNBA Draft, Howard averaged 4.2 points and 2.6 rebounds per game for the Fever last season, following a college basketball career that saw the Ohio native become Florida State's all-time leader in rebounds and double-doubles.

Peters, the third overall pick in 2012, 3.2 points and 3.4 rebounds per game for the Lynx last season, and won a pair of WNBA championships with Minnesota.
