After a historic NCAA Tournament run, women's college basketball's best and brightest took their next step Monday night at the WNBA Draft in New York.
Caitlin Clark is the No. 1 overall pick for the Indiana Fever after helping Iowa reach the national championship game in back-to-back seasons.
Clark finished his college career averaging 31.6 points and 8.9 assists per game, both of which led the nation.
Stanford's Cameron Brink was next, going to the Los Angeles Sparks, and Tennessee's Camila Cardoso went to the Chicago Sky at No. 3.
After an illustrious college career at LSU, Angel Reese was selected by the Sky with the seventh pick, joining Cardoso in the front court rotation.
It's an incredible evening for the WNBA, with commissioner Cathy Engelbert saying she's “pretty optimistic” the league will expand to 16 teams in the 2028 season.
Engelbert said Philadelphia, Toronto, Denver, Nashville and South Florida are potential landing spots for expansion teams.
