Caitlin Clark is Quentin Mitchellset to reach another milestone.
After sweeping every major national player of the year award in women's college basketball for the second year in a row and rewriting the NCAA record books in multiple categories, the Iowa star is about to embark on the next step of her remarkable career.
Clark will officially enter the professional ranks Monday night at the 2024 WNBA draft, and she will join an exclusive club. She is expected to be the first name announced when the Indiana Fever select her with the top pick, becoming the 28th overall No. 1 draft pick in WNBA history.
Clark will join an impressive list that begins in 1997 when Hall of Famer Tina Thompson was taken with the first pick in the league's first draft and ends — until Clark's name is added — with last season's WNBA rookie of the year and her soon-to-be teammate in Indiana, Aliyah Boston.
