All eyes are on Caitlin Clark these days, and for good reason. Not only is she one of the greatest shows in sports; in her last regular-season home game on Sunday, the Iowa star passed the legendary “Pistol Pete” Maravich for the most points scored by a Division I basketball player (men’s or women’s).
Expected by many to be the No. 1 overall selection by the Indiana Fever in the WNBA draft on April 15, the question is what should be expected out of Clark in fantasy women’s basketball this season? And with that, how high should she be picked?
We turned to our fantasy experts Andre Snellings, Eric Moody, Liz Loza and Jennifer LaCroix to to get their thoughts.
What is the best-case scenario for Clark’s fantasy ranking?
Best-case scenario she averages 20+ PPG, 5+ RPG and 5+ APG, this would mean her team automatically is deferring to her as the main go-to player on the team. Basically her team allows her to be the engine that makes them go. This would also be assuming that she has no issues transitioning from college to professional and also that she’s not exhausted from playing an entire college season then going right into another professional season. Do I think this is doable? Yes. Do I think it’s probable? No. — LaCroix
The best-case scenario is that Clark produces numbers similar…
