This year’s No. 1 overall pick and Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark has in many ways exceeded the lofty expectations that preceded her arrival. Clark, the favorite to win WNBA Rookie of the Year, has helped guide the Fever to a 20-19 record and the current sixth seed in the playoff picture. This after winning just 13 games in 2023, which was the third-worst mark in the league.
All season Clark has dazzled. Her 329 assists set a league record, and her 761 points this season, broke the rookie record of 744 points set by former Minnesota Lynx star Seimone Augustus in 2006. Clark’s popularity on and off the floor has done wonders for the league as it’s seen an increase in viewership, fan attendance and merchandising. Point blank, Clark’s rookie season has been one for the ages, and while most are in agreement, WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes isn’t on board with it.
