Iowa star Caitlin Clark is fresh off a historic college basketball career, but her next chapter is starting soon. On Monday night, Clark will hear her named called during the 2024 WNBA Draft and will officially begin her professional career.
As Clark takes the next step, many current and former WNBA players have shared their thoughts on what she has done so far and what they think her transition to the pros could look like.
After the national championship game, South Carolina coach Dawn Staley thanked Clark for what she has done for women’s college basketball and added that Clark will lift up the WNBA as well. Former WNBA star Sheryl Swoopes agreed with Staley.
“Caitlin Clark is probably the best shooter, especially in the college game, that I’ve ever seen. I’m not saying there haven’t been others, but that I’ve ever seen,” Swoopes said on the “Queens of the Court” podcast.” I agree with Dawn. … she has absolutely taken the women’s game to a different level. She’s brought more eyes, people who never watched a single game of women’s basketball tuned in because they wanted to see who is this little girl from Iowa shooting these logo 3s.”
