Caitlin Clark, the prolific
shooting guard from Iowa who set the NCAA all-time scoring mark and ushered in a newfound popularity for women’s basketball that reaped records for attendance and television viewership, was selected No. 1 overall in the
WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever on Monday night.
The 22-year-old native of West Des Moines, Iowa, electrified crowds wherever she played this season because of her shooting range, regularly hitting logo 3-pointers with ease, and her playmaking ability, routinely setting up teammates for easy scores.
Clark joins a Fever team with
2023 WNBA Rookie of the Year Aliyah Boston. The Fever finished 13-27 last season and missed the postseason in each of the past seven seasons. But an inside-outside combination of Clark and Boston, who was the
No. 1 pick in last year’s draft, could propel Indiana back to the playoffs once again.
LSU’s Angel Reese, the “Bayou Barbie” who created a rivalry with Clark in last year’s title game was drafted by the
Chicago Sky with the No. 7 pick in the WNBA draft.
