Fever Earn High Marks for Selection

Indiana Fever Draft Caitlin Clark No. 1 Overall

The Indiana Fever have made a bold move in the 2024 WNBA Draft, selecting Caitlin Clark with the No. 1 overall pick. The 20-year-old Iowa standout has been one of the most highly touted prospects in women's basketball, and her selection by the Fever has been met with widespread praise.

Clark is a 6'1" guard who averaged 27.0 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per game in her junior season at Iowa. She is a dynamic scorer who can create her own shot and also facilitate for others. She is also a strong defender, averaging 2.5 steals per game last season.

The Fever are hoping that Clark can be the cornerstone of their franchise for years to come. The team has struggled in recent years, but Clark's addition gives them a legitimate chance to compete for a playoff spot in 2024.

The Fever's selection of Clark was met with high marks from experts. ESPN's Mechelle Voepel gave the Fever an A+ for their pick, saying that Clark is "the best player in the draft and the future of the WNBA." The Athletic's Charlie Creme also praised the Fever's decision, saying that Clark is "a game-changer" who will make the Fever "a must-watch team in 2024."

Clark is excited to join the Fever and help them turn their franchise around. She said, "I'm so grateful to be selected by the Indiana Fever. I'm ready to get to work and help this team win a championship."
