Caitlin Clark, the No. 1 overall pick for the Indiana Fever in the 2024 WNBA Draft, is thrilled to be joining forces with Aliyah Boston, the team’s 2023 top draft pick. While Clark is known for her high-scoring performances and record-breaking feats, it’s not just her own scoring capabilities that excite her – it’s the opportunity to play alongside Boston, a standout post player who has been praised by analysts and league evaluators for her passing ability.
Boston’s ability to run the floor and make precise passes to teammates has been highlighted as a crucial aspect of her game. Clark believes that Boston is one of the best post players in the world and that her passing skills will be a major asset at the professional level. With both Boston and Clark on the roster, the Fever are optimistic about their chances of competing at a higher level and contending for a title in the near future.
Clark praised Boston as “a force in the paint” and “an excellent scorer”, but it’s her ability to distribute the ball effectively that really gets Clark excited. “She can make any pass look easy,” said Clark after a Pacers playoff game earlier this season. “Her vision on the court is unparalleled.”
While Kelsey Mitchell was also a valuable member of last year’s squad, it was assists per game where they struggled most. The arrival of Clark is expected to improve that area significantly, as she brings with her an impressive track record of making smart decisions on offense. With both Boston and Clark playing together, fans can expect more exciting moments like t-shirt tosses into raucous crowds during Pacers games.
