Caitlin Clark was selected as the first pick in the WNBA draft. The 22-year-old guard is a doppelgänger sniper who broke many college records.
The draft was held in Brooklyn in front of thousands of spectators. The thousands of Clark's new media jerseys, which were offered for sale tonight in a special sale, were sold out in just one hour. Clark will team up in Indiana with Aliyah Boston, the first picks in the 2023 draft who won the rookie of the season award this season. Together they will try to take the Indiana Fever to the top, after not finishing with a positive balance since 2015. The WNBA has reported a large increase in demand for tickets to next season's games, which is attributed to Clark's arrival in the league. "We are witnessing a historic moment in our industry, which will change the way we look at it," said Commissioner Cathy Engelbert regarding Clark's joining the league, "It's a change we've been waiting for for generations."
