Fever Add Dynamic Guard to Young Roster
Hoosier Star Signs with Hometown Team
Indianapolis, IN - The Indiana Fever have made history by selecting University of Iowa guard Caitlin Clark with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. The move was widely expected, as Clark has been one of the most dominant players in college basketball over the past several years.
Clark, a native of West Des Moines, Iowa, is a 6-foot-1 guard who averaged 27.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 8.0 assists per game in her senior season at Iowa. She led the Hawkeyes to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 and was named the Big Ten Player of the Year for the third time.
The Fever are entering their 25th season in the WNBA and are looking to build on a promising 2023 campaign. Clark's addition gives them a dynamic playmaker who can score, rebound, and pass at a high level. She is expected to be a key part of the Fever's offense and will help them compete for a playoff berth.
Clark's selection marks a special moment for both the Fever and the city of Indianapolis. As a native of the state, she is already a popular figure in the area and is expected to draw large crowds to Fever games. The Fever are hoping that Clark can help them reach new heights and become a consistent contender in the WNBA.
In a statement released by the team, Fever general manager Tamika Catchings said, "We are thrilled to welcome Caitlin to the Indiana Fever family. She is an exceptional talent and a proven winner. We believe that she will be a key part of our team's success for years to come."
