Caitlin Clark, Iowa's Superstar, Drafted No. 1 by Indiana Fever
Hawkeye Standout Named Naismith Player of the Year Again
Caitlin Clark, the transcendent Iowa superstar, will join the Indiana Fever as the No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft on Monday night. As expected, the Hawkeyes star was named Naismith Player of the Year for the second consecutive season, solidifying her status as one of the most dominant players in the NCAA.
Clark's selection as the top pick comes as no surprise. In her sophomore season at Iowa, she shattered numerous records and led the Hawkeyes to their first Sweet Sixteen appearance since 2001. She averaged 27.0 points, 8.1 assists, and 8.1 rebounds per game, becoming the first player in NCAA history to average at least 25 points, 8 assists, and 8 rebounds in a season.
Clark's outstanding play has caught the attention of WNBA scouts, who have been eagerly anticipating her entry into the league. The Indiana Fever, who finished with the league's worst record this season, will be thrilled to add Clark's talent to their roster. Her ability to score, pass, and rebound at an elite level makes her a versatile threat that can transform the Fever's fortunes.
