Caitlin Clark,Iowa,WNBA

Caitlin Clark, a player from Iowa, is expected to be the top pick in the WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever. Clark's exceptional skills and style of play have generated excitement among fans and could potentially revive the team's performance.

Iowa 's Caitlin Clark walks off the court after losing the NCAA women's title game on Saturday. The next time she sees the court could be in the WNBA , with the Indiana Fever expected to make Clark the top pick in Monday's draft. The 61-year-old former hoops player never lost touch with the sport, his home state or his beloved Hawkeyes' men's or women's teams, even after moving to Indianapolis.

Fever guard Erica Wheeler told social media fans Clark was the real deal after attending one Iowa game in February 2023. Another Fever guard, Grace Berger, already knows Clark's scouting report after chasing her around Big Ten courts for three seasons.Neither had any idea back then, though, that the Fever would win a second straight draft lottery that would allow them to team up with the 2023 unanimous rookie of the year Aliyah Boston and the greatest scorer in Division I history.

"I think she's in the right situation here," Meinen said. "Indiana is all about basketball, they're going to embrace her. They have a good young core. I think the future's very, very bright for this team.

"Reality is coming," Taurasi recently said on ESPN. "You look superhuman playing against some 18-year-olds, but you're going to come play with some grown women that have been playing professional basketball for a long time." "I know what's next is soon," Clark said after losing Sunday's NCAA championship game, which Meinen watched on his phone just before the NBA's Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat tipped off in Indy.WATCH | Clark's senior season ends in championship-game loss:DurationWomen’s college basketball reached new popularity this March Madness.
