The WNBA Draft will feature some of the best women’s college basketball stars the league has ever seen, with Iowa Hawkeyes superstar Caitlin Clark leading the class.

Clark is expected to be selected as the No. 1 pick of the draft, which is held by the Indiana Fever. The Fever selected No. 1 last season and took Aliyah Boston from South Carolina. Boston was the WNBA Rookie of the Year during the 2023 season.

Rebecca Lobo, who starred with the New York Liberty and is now an analyst for ESPN, called the Fever a "perfect fit" for Clark.

"There’s no comparison that I can find on the women’s side, and I’ve been in this league since the very beginning," Lobo said via the New York Post. "We haven’t seen a player drive ticket sales like this. We haven’t seen a player drive ratings like this. Look at the ratings the last four or five games she played. It’s something she had been doing all season long.

"[I’ve] never seen anything to this degree, and to me one of the things that’s kind of special about it is that she’s staying in the Midwest; going to Indiana. It’s such a perfect fit in terms of that."

Clark stole most of the headlines during the 2023–24 women’s college basketball season as she broke the all-time scoring record in NCAA Division 1. However, she is far from the only outstanding player in the draft pool.

Stanford standout Cameron Brink is expected to be one of the next players off the board.
