Indiana Fever Select Caitlin Clark with No. 1 Overall Pick in 2024 WNBA Draft
Hoosiers' Star Becomes First Division I Player Chosen First Overall
Caitlin Clark Makes History as Fever's Top Pick
In a highly anticipated move, the Indiana Fever officially selected Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark with the top overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. The 6-foot guard became the first Division I player to be chosen first overall in the draft's history.
Clark, who led Iowa to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, is widely considered one of the greatest college basketball players of all time. The 2023 Naismith Trophy winner averaged 27.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 8.2 assists per game in her final season with the Hawkeyes.
The Fever, who finished with the worst record in the WNBA in 2023, are hoping that Clark can help turn their franchise around. The Fever have not made the WNBA playoffs since 2016.
Clark is expected to make an immediate impact for the Fever. She is a versatile player who can score, rebound, and pass the ball effectively. She is also a strong defender.
The Fever's selection of Clark is a sign that the franchise is committed to building a winner. Clark is a special player who has the potential to be a superstar in the WNBA.
The 2024 WNBA Draft was held on April 15, 2024, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
