Caitlin Clark Selected First Overall By Indiana Fever In 2024 WNBA Draft
Clark, A Two-Time Naismith College Player Of The Year, Is The First Guard Taken With The Top Pick Since 2019
The Indiana Fever selected Caitlin Clark with the first overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft on Monday night. Clark, a two-time Naismith College Player of the Year, is the first guard taken with the top pick since 2019.
The 6-foot-1 guard from Iowa averaged 27.0 points, 8.1 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game in her junior season with the Hawkeyes. She led Iowa to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament, where they lost to eventual national champion Stanford.
Clark is a dynamic scorer and passer who can create her own shot and set up her teammates. She is also a good defender, averaging 2.3 steals per game in her junior season.
The Fever are coming off a 5-29 season, but they are hoping that Clark can help them turn things around. Clark is a proven winner, and she has the potential to be one of the best players in the WNBA.
Clark Is The First Player From Iowa To Be Selected With The No. 1 Overall Pick In The WNBA Draft
Clark is the first player from Iowa to be selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft. She is also the first guard taken with the top pick since 2019, when the Las Vegas Aces selected A'ja Wilson.
Clark's selection is a major coup for the Fever, who are looking to rebuild their team after a disappointing 2023 season. Clark is a dynamic player who can score, pass, and defend, and she is expected to be a key part of the Fever's future.
