Caitlin Clark WNBA Draft Projection: Where Will Caitlin Clark Land In WNBA?
Few college prospects on the men’s or women’s basketball scene have commanded the level of national interest that Caitlin Clark has. The fourth-year senior has an NCAA record 3,771 points across 133 games and a laundry list of awards earned during her run in Iowa City.
The astonishing run had made her a true hero in Iowa and has meant major action in Iowa sports betting.
Clark’s newest challenge once this month’s NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament wraps up is to ready herself for the grind of the upcoming WNBA regular season, with the league’s draft happening in Brooklyn on April 15 and the opening day of the 2024 league year taking place on May 14.
ESPN’s Michael Voepel has Clark as the undisputed top pick in April’s draft, going to the Indiana Fever, with Cameron Brink of Stanford going No. 2 to the Los Angeles Sparks.
With that in mind, IowaBets.com – your source for Iowa sportsbook promos – broke down where Clark will go from here as she embarks on a professional career after as memorable a four-year run as anyone has had in the modern era of NCAA athletics.
