It was clear the Indiana Fever had found a once-in-a-generation talent when they picked Caitlin Clark in the draft.
Clark is the most well-liked athlete in women’s basketball history, and her popularity has helped increase WNBA viewing this year. She has become one of the most divisive characters in professional athletics due to the strong responses that her presence has provoked.
During her time in college, Clark broke several records and was very successful in the NIL market. On3 valued her at an astounding $3.4 million.
Clark has successfully made the transition to the WNBA, even though some people were hoping she wouldn’t make it. She ignores the comments and keeps her eyes on the ball.
In her rookie season with the Fever, Clark has participated in 26 games, averaging 17.1 points, 8.2 assists, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game. However, she averages 5.6 turnovers per game, a number that needs improvement. Clark has a shooting percentage of 40.5% from the field and 32.7% from beyond the arc.
Recently, Clark was honored at the Iowa State Fair with a unique tribute: a butter sculpture in her likeness.
