Arrival of Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese in the WNBA
Dating back to the 2023 NCAA Women's Basketball Championship, there was already built-up anticipation with the imminent arrival of Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese to the WNBA.
Given the competitive nature they've shown, along with their impressive skillset on the court, the two young players were instantly considered as athletes with tremendous potential.
Fast forward to Draft Day: Clark goes first overall through the Indiana Fever's selection, while Reese gets picked seventh by the Chicago Sky. Being part of the top 10 draft selection in one's pool is already a big step in a basketball career but also carries with it huge expectations to deliver in the big leagues.
Caitlin Clark is perceived to be an important piece in the WNBA's continuous growth as a must-watch league on television. Considering what the young Indiana Fever guard showcased during her four-season stint with the Iowa Hawkeyes, she is scheduled to appear in 36 out of the team's 40 nationally televised games.
Moreover, Clark's talent is impeccable and will only improve as time passes. She will be the driving force for the league to improve with their ratings, as the Fever rookie will be at the forefront of it.
Meanwhile, Angel Reese's strong personality on the court makes her an easy player to root for and relate to. Her competitive spirit remains unmatched, translating to her capabilities on the court as a walking double-double machine.
Interestingly, like Clark, her basketball skill set and fiery nature will also be a great asset for the WNBA.
