Mackenzie Holmes is a 24-year-old forward for the WNBA's Seattle Storm, selected with the 26th pick in the third round of the 2024 draft out of Indiana University. Born on November 1, 2000, the 6'3" post player brings a polished and efficient interior game to the professional level. At Indiana, Holmes was a dominant force, earning All-American honors and finishing as one of the program's all-time leading scorers and shot-blockers, known for her soft touch and high-percentage shooting around the basket. Her main collegiate honors include multiple All-Big Ten selections and leading the Hoosiers to deep NCAA Tournament runs. As a rookie with the Storm, wearing number 54, Holmes is adapting to the WNBA's physicality, aiming to provide frontcourt depth with her scoring savvy and rebounding. Her style is fundamentally sound and intelligent, maximizing her strength and positioning. Holmes has the potential to develop into a reliable rotational player who can score in the paint and hold her own defensively.
