Caitlin Clark is living the dream after she was chosen as the first pick in the WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever. The 22-year-old is stepping up to the professional league as the most successful college player in history, which has made her the new star of the sport. She joins last year’s first pick Aliyah Boston – a former team-mate of hers in the United States Under-19s – at the Fever as the club try to revive their fortunes after again failing to reach the play-offs in 2023. Clark said on the WNBA website: “I dreamed of this moment since I was in second grade, and it’s taken a lot of hard work, a lot of ups and downs, but more than anything, just trying to soak it in. “Obviously going to an organisation that has, in my eyes, one of the best post players (Boston) in the entire world. “My point guard eyes just light up at that. And obviously, Aliyah has been one of my team-mates before. I’m excited. I can’t wait.” Fever head coach Christie Sides said on the club’s website: “Caitlin is one of the most naturally gifted basketball players I have ever seen enter the WNBA from the college level.
