Caitlin Clark, a women’s college basketball superstar, has been selected as the first overall pick in the professional league by the Indiana Fever. The 22-year-old athlete expressed her excitement about joining the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) and had been expected to be a top pick in the draft. She is recognized as one of the greatest collegiate players in history, holding records for most points scored and three-point shots made in a single season.
During the annual WNBA draft, athletes from colleges across the US were vying for a chance to go pro. Clark, who previously played for the Iowa Hawkeyes, reflected on her journey to the WNBA, expressing her excitement and gratitude for the opportunity. She emphasized the competitive nature of the league and the hard work required to succeed in it.
Clark entered the WNBA draft after completing her senior season at Iowa University, where her team reached the women’s NCAA tournament championship before falling to South Carolina Gamecocks in a highly-viewed game. The surge in interest in women’s college basketball has been attributed to Clark, sparking what is now known as the Caitlin Clark Effect.
