Who will be picked first in the 2024 WNBA Draft?
The 2024 WNBA draft may be one of the most exciting drafts in league history. Many predict the Indiana Fever will take superstar Caitlin Clark with the first overall pick.
Clark set the NCAA all-time scoring record while in college at Iowa. Her shooting range changed the game, and she is one of the most hyped prospects in women’s basketball in decades.
She is also a two-time national player of the year. Clark led Iowa to two national title appearances in back-to-back seasons. Now she will try to take the Fever to a WNBA title.
Stanford’s Cameron Brink will likely go in the top four. She could land with the LA Sparks in the second spot.
The Sparks will have two picks in the top four due to trades. They could pair Brink with another college star in Cardoso to create quite the incoming class.
