The college basketball season may have just ended, but it’s already time for top prospects to join the professional ranks.
This year’s WNBA Draft class will feature a few players with superstar potential, including Caitlin Clark, who is expected to go to the Indiana Fever as the No. 1 overall pick. The Iowa guard is coming off a senior season in which she averaged 31.6 points, 8.9 assists, 7.4 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game.
Stanford’s Cameron Brink, South Carolina’s Kamilla Cardoso and Tennessee’s Rickea Jackson will likely land in the top five of the draft order. LSU’s Angel Reese should also hear her name called at some point in the first round.
Get ready, ladies. The transition to the next level starts now.
