The offseason has been eventful for Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever.

Indiana made sure to add players who have experience in the postseason to help the young core of Clark and Aliyah Boston. During the offseason, the franchise traded for DeWanna Bonner, Sophie Cunningham and Natasha Howard. All three players have spent significant time playing in the postseason.

With the team's moves, Clark can't help but credit the front office. The former Iowa sensation credited Fever's president and general manager for how they've started to build an experienced team. She also credited Indiana coach Stephanie White and her coaching staff, revealing how excited she wants to succeed with her.

With Steph and her staff coming in here, my ability to work out with Keith all offseason has been really fun, I got to work out with DB (DeWanna Bonner).

Clark pointed out that, as her teammates are playing overseas and in other leagues this offseason, she'll start to get a chance to work out with them. The one-time All-Star looks forward to seeing how they'll fit together to prepare for the season.

The reigning Rookie of the Year cited the team's lack of playoff experience last season, which exposed them and led to their elimination in the first round. However, with her new teammates, she's excited to see what they've got.

"So, adding pieces of players that have been in this league ... they know what it takes to win, to get to the finals, to win championships," Clark said. "I think that’s exactly what we needed in our locker room."
