Fever Select Clark Over Van Lith, Duruji
The Indiana Fever have selected Caitlin Clark with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. Clark, a point guard from Iowa, was the consensus No. 1 prospect in the draft. She is a prolific scorer and passer who averaged 27.4 points and 8.1 assists per game in her junior season at Iowa.
The Fever passed on Azzi Fudd of Connecticut and Kiki Rice of UCLA to select Clark. Fudd is a versatile guard who can score from all three levels, while Rice is a dynamic wing who can play both inside and outside.
The Dream, Sky, Sun, and Wings were among the teams that were interested in Clark. However, the Fever were able to land the prized recruit with the No. 1 pick.
The Fever are hoping that Clark can help them return to the playoffs after missing out last season. The Fever finished 12-20 last season, which was good for sixth place in the Eastern Conference.
Clark is expected to make an immediate impact for the Fever. She is a talented scorer and passer who can also play defense. She is a versatile player who can fill a variety of roles for the Fever.
