The WNBA takes center stage Monday night with the highly anticipated 2024 WNBA Draft getting underway at 7:30 p.m. at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in Brooklyn, New York.
This year’s draft class, arguably considered the strongest one in recent memory, is loaded with talent that’s expected to take the next step from college to the WNBA.
The class is headlined by Stanford’s Cameron Brink, LSU’s Angel Reese, South Carolina’s Kamilla Cardoso and none other than Iowa’s Caitlin Clark, who’s virtually a guarantee to go No. 1 overall to the Indiana Fever.
Clark has been a superstar ever since joining the Hawkeyes as a freshman during the 2020-21 season. The 22-year-old guard is a two-time AP Player of the Year, a two-time Wooden Award recipient and was named the Naismith College Player of the Year for in consecutive seasons during her last two years at Iowa.
While she’s achieved and broken many records during her four collegiate years, Clark most notably became the all-time leading scorer in men’s and women’s NCAA Division I basketball history (3,951 points) when she passed Pete Maravich on March 3 against Ohio State.
Expectations are so high for Clark that she already has the fourth-shortest odds at +1200 (Bet $100 to win $1,200) on FanDuel Sportsbook to win the 2024 WNBA regular season MVP before even stepping foot into the league.
With the regular season now less than a month away, here’s what you need to know about when Clark and the Fever will be coming to Brooklyn for the first time this season:
