2024 WNBA Draft Results: Indiana Fever Select Caitlin Clark with No. 1 Pick
Indiana Fever Add Dynamic Iowa Star to Roster
New York, April 15, 2024
In a highly anticipated move, the Indiana Fever selected Caitlin Clark, the two-time Naismith College Player of the Year, with the first overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft.
Clark, a dynamic guard from the University of Iowa, has emerged as one of the most promising prospects in women's basketball. Her exceptional ball-handling skills, scoring prowess, and leadership abilities have drawn widespread admiration.
The Fever, who finished with a 13-21 record last season, believe that Clark will be a key piece in their rebuilding process. Her addition to the roster is expected to provide an immediate boost to their offensive firepower.
Clark will join an Indiana team that includes a number of promising young players, including last year's No. 7 overall pick, Aaliyah Boston. With Clark's arrival, the Fever hope to contend for a playoff berth and make a deeper run in the postseason.
The 2024 WNBA Draft featured several other notable selections. The New York Liberty selected Louisville forward Emily Engstler with the second overall pick, while the Las Vegas Aces chose Oregon guard Te-Hina Paopao with the third pick.
The Fever also made several other picks in the draft, including:
- No. 7 overall: Shakira Austin, G/F, Ole Miss
- No. 12 overall: Aneesah Morrow, C, DePaul
- No. 16 overall: Kiki Rice, G, UCLA
The 2024 WNBA season is set to begin in May. The Fever will open their season at home against the Chicago Sky.
