Caitlin Clark has wasted no time picking up where she left off last season. She has the Iowa Hawkeyes women’s basketball team out to an 11-1 start. She is averaging 29.5 points per game, 7.4 assists and 6.9 rebounds, while shooting 46.8% from the field.
While Clark does have the option to return to school next season for another year of making records entirely untouchable and cementing her legacy as the greatest collegiate women’s basketball player of all time, she also may not ever have a higher draft stock than she does right now. She is a consensus No. 1 overall pick among some of the biggest outlets.
Could she come back to become Iowa’s biggest legend ever and make another run at a national title? Capitalize on NIL money? Or does she make the move to the WNBA?
A move to the WNBA would almost certainly see her joining the Indiana Fever as a top lottery pick in the next draft. Should Clark declare, here is a mock draft roundup of where she would go and why.
