The 2024 WNBA Draft is only a few days to go with Caitlin Clark as the consensus No. 1 pick by the Indiana Fever.
Clark was the best women's college player this season, leading the Iowa Hawkeyes to their second straight championship game. Some people are even claiming that she's already one of the best to ever do it at that level.
Clark's effect on the league has already been felt when it was announced that the Fever would be featured heavily on national television this season. Thirty-six of 40 games will be shown on channels such as ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, CBS, NBA TV and Amazon Prime Video.
Trending
The defending champions Las Vegas Aces are changing venues to accommodate more people for their matchup against Clark and the Fever. The Phoenix Mercury also used Clark to promote their first game amid Diana Taurasi's comments about her.
However, after the 22-year-old sharpshooter, who are the best prospects to choose from? Let's take a look.
Three best prospects to go No. 2 after Caitlin Clark
#1 Cameron Brink
Cameron Brink is the consensus No. 2 pick for several news outlets due to her two-way potential. Brink was a star for Stanford and wouldn't be adjusting much to a potential move to Hollywood.
The 22-year-old forward instantly fills the gap left by Nneka Ogwumike, who left in free agency to sign with the Seattle Storm. Brink's scoring is her main attribute with a lot of potential on the defensive side. She just needs to learn how to not commit silly fouls.
#2 Kamilla Cardoso
If the LA Sparks don't want to go for Cameron Brink, they could also take a chance on Kamilla Cardoso. The South Carolina star is fresh off winning her second NCAA championship, where she was named Most Outstanding Player of the tournament.
Cardoso is trending upwards in some draft boards due to her strong showing in the tournament. Her defense is a difference-maker, and there were times when she was even effective in covering the perimeter. Her offense is still improving, and it will likely get better after she turns pro.
#3 Rickea Jackson
Another option for the No. 2 pick for the LA Sparks is Rickea Jackson of the Lady Vols. Jackson's scoring will certainly boost the rebuilding Sparks looking to fill Nneka Ogwumike's 19.1 points per game average last season.
The 23-year-old small forward averaged 20.2 points per game this year while shooting 48.5%. She's a consistent scorer who also improved her 3-point shot. She also has star potential like Cameron Brink and Kamilla Cardoso and is probably the next-best scorer in the draft after Caitlin Clark.
