Former Iowa Hawkeyes basketball star Caitlin Clark is about to realize her dream of playing in the WNBA. The Indiana Fever is expected to select her as their first pick in the upcoming WNBA draft in Brooklyn, New York.
The WNBA recently tweeted a video of Clark enjoying the view of New York City from the top of the Empire State Building. In the video, she jokes about the "little different" transition she will have to make once she enters the WNBA in 2024.
While recorded by her friend, who was with Clark at the time, she asked, "A little different than Iowa?" to which Iowa star replied with a smile on her face.
"A little yeah."
During the college national championship game on Apr. 7, Clark and Iowa drew a massive audience of 18 million viewers, even though they lost to South Carolina.
Throughout the season, especially during the March Madness games, Clark's impressive performances and record-breaking achievements captivated the nation and made history in college basketball.
Is Caitlin Clark destined to lead the draft pack?
