"Becky, who I truly believe one day will be a coach in the NBA, she is just an exceptional analyst when it comes to talking about the NBA as well as any basketball franchise," said David Roberts, ESPN's head of event and studio coverage.

The former six-time WNBA All-Star as a player was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame earlier this year. The 46-year-old also was a three-time All-American, including first-team honors for the 1998-99 season, during her standout college career at Colorado State.

ESPN also announced the hiring of four other analysts: former New York Knicks general manager Scott Perry, former players Andre Iguodala and Austin Rivers and Stephanie White, coach of the WNBA's Connecticut Sun.
