Caitlin Clark admits wanting the Indiana Fever to get the first overall pick in the WNBA Draft when the lottery happened late last year, as she could have the chance to play close home.
Caitlin Clark was thinking about how her Iowa Hawkeyes were going to beat their Big Ten Conference foe, the Wisconsin Badgers, on Dec. 10, 2023. But she admitted also having a keen eye on the WNBA Draft Lottery that would determine who owned the No. 1 pick in 2024.
„When the draft lottery happened, I had a game on the same exact night, but I was hoping the Fever got the first pick,“ Clark told „The Pat McAfee Show“ on Wednesday, two days after she was taken by the Indiana Fever first overall.
It was a no-brainer for Indiana, a team that already saw an uptick in season-ticket purchases as everyone in women’s basketball expected Clark, the NCAA all-time leading scorer, would be staying in the Midwest.
