Caitlin Clark selected as 1st overall pick in 2024 WNBA draft by Indiana Fever
Caitlin Clark was selected as the first overall pick in Monday night's WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever after her record-breaking season with the Iowa Hawkeyes.
The following is from a previous report.
The highly anticipated 2024 WNBA draft (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN) is finally here. Like many fans, players will anxiously await to hear their name called on Monday night at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York.
There's no question about the No. 1 pick in Monday's WNBA draft as Iowa Hawkeyes guard Caitlin Clark is certain to go to the Indiana Fever.
But after that, the mystery starts. And what the Los Angeles Sparks do with the Nos. 2 and 4 picks could shape the rest of the draft.
In 2023, the league broke records in ticket sales with back-to-back WNBA champions, the Las Vegas Aces, reporting sold-out games throughout the season and viewership with the WNBA reporting over 36 million total unique viewers across all national networks during the regular season.
The women's NCAA championship game earlier this month outdrew the men's with an average of 18.9 million viewers, according to ESPN.
With some of women's college basketball players being newcomers, the league is anticipating bigger turnouts than ever before. Here are six players to watch ahead of the WNBA draft.
