After very little speculation and much pomp and circumstance, the Indiana Fever selected Caitlin Clark with the first overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft.

Clark, who led Iowa to back-to-back national title game appearances, will remain in the Midwest and hope to help turn around a struggling Indiana franchise that hasn’t been to the playoffs since 2016.

But now, one of the best to ever grace a college basketball court is in the professional ranks, where she will team with last year’s No. 1 overall pick: Aliyah Boston.

Clark left Iowa with the record for most points scored by a man or woman in college basketball history.

But he never got to taste championship success in college, falling to LSU in the 2023 title game and to South Carolina in the 2024 title game.

Clark celebrated the draft in Brooklyn and walked to the stage where she was greeted by WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert with a hug and a Fever jersey.

She’s already excited enough to warrant an appearance on Saturday Night Live over the weekend.

Tonight, Clark stepped out wearing head-to-toe Prada, becoming the first WNBA or NBA player dressed by the design house for a draft.

Clark will take the court for her first regular season game in about a month when the Fever travel to take on the Connecticut Sun on May 14.
