WNBA Draft 2024: Caitlin Clark goes No. 1 to Indiana Fever; Angel Reese joins Kamilla Cardoso on Chicago Sky

Another sweet moment seeing the Aces draft Kate Martin out of the crowd. Martin attended the draft with Iowa teammate Gabbie Marshall to support Clark. She played for five seasons after redshirting as a freshman and is referred to as "the glue" for doing anything the Hawkeyes needed. Martin's family is not in attendance, but after speaking with ESPN's Holly Rowe she received big hugs from Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder, Anne Nizzi-Clark, Brent Clark and Caitlin's brothers, Colin and Blake. Former Iowa Naismith winner Megan Gustafson is also in Las Vegas. The two missed each other by one year at Iowa.

Dyaisha Fair feels like a fitting pick for Las Vegas. Aces head coach Becky Hammon knows what it's like to be an undersized and overlooked point guard with a will to be great. It could be a great learning opportunity for Fair to play behind Chelsea Gray (who often takes a coach role in practices) and learn from Hammon. She's third on the all-time NCAA DI scoring list.

Nika Mühl showed out in that Final Four defensive performance against Caitlin Clark. If she sticks on the Seattle roster, she'll learn behind veteran point guard Skylar Diggins-Smith. Very special moment for her, and clearly for her UConn teammates Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd watching from the gallery.

Angel Reese brings it all the way back to high school describing first playing against Kamilla Cardoso, her new teammate. Said she's excited to see the Chicago frontcourt duo against the Los Angeles duo of Cameron Brink and Rickea Jackson.

One important point on the back-to-back international picks by Dallas and Connecticut. Teams will often draft-and-stash these players to bring onto the roster in a later season. They might do it because of a lack of roster room this year or with the knowledge that a player isn't ready to join the WNBA yet while they remain with their Olympic teams or domestic teams.

Jacy Sheldon is speaking with reporters. She's the first big surprise off the board to Dallas and brings strong defense. The Wings are on the cusp of breaking into the top four teams. They lacked experience in last year's postseason with a young group built around Arike Ogunbowale and Satou Sabally.

Teresa Weatherspoon has a frontcourt of the future in Chicago after the franchise drafted Kamilla Cardoso at No. 3 and Angel Reese in No. 7.

"Nobody's going to get no rebounds on us," Cardoso said minutes after Reese went off the board.

She also takes a maybe inadvertent dig at the local New York media saying she's never been to Chicago, but heard it has some of the best pizza.

Cameron Brink said she facetimed Steph Curry, her godbrother, about five minutes before the WNBA Draft show started. She also called Seth Curry. "He hung up on me immediately, because that's Seth, but he called me right back."

Fever general manager Lin Dunn told me last summer before the team won the Clark lottery that she would be disappointed if they didn't make the playoffs in 2024.

"That's definitely our goal is to get back to championship habits," Clark said.

Indiana last made the postseason in 2016 with Hall of Famer Tamika Catchings. Clark said she vividly remembers Catchings on the broadcast during her freshman year games at Iowa.

"I was tweaking out," Clark said. "I couldn't believe she was calling one of my games."

Caitlin Clark is speaking with the media after going No. 1. She said she thinks her passing ability will be what translates to the WNBA and she's heading to an organization with one of the best post players "in the entire world." "My point guard eyes just light up at that."

Happy draft night from the Brooklyn Academy of Music. So far it's gone to plan with Caitlin Clark heading to Indiana (to much applause in the event space) and Cameron Brink going to the Los Angeles Sparks. It's a fitting situation for both in terms of talent as well as geography.

The madness of the women’s NCAA Tournament has come to an end, and now it’s time for the 2024 WNBA Draft. This year, all eyes are on Caitlin Clark, the presumptive No. 1 draft pick and now-former Iowa Hawkeyes guard who currently holds the record for all-time NCAA Division I men's and women's scoring leader (among others). But Clark isn’t the only NCAA basketball star stepping onto the pros’ court this season. LSU’s Angel Reese declared her intent for the draft through her own profile in Vogue. Clark and Reese are joined by Stanford's Cameron Brink, South Carolina's Kamilla Cardoso, Tennessee's Rickea Jackson and Connecticut's Aaliyah Edwards.
