Caitlin Clark’s ascendance is the single biggest thing to happen to the WNBA. I’m so excited to watch the Indiana Fever’s first season with Clark, and I’ve never before said that about any WNBA team.

The Sky getting both South Carolina's Kamilla Cardoso at 6'7" and LSU's Angel Reese in the first round... sheesh! Looking forward to seeing them at the next level here in Chicago!

Rickea Jackson and Cameron Brink duo 🔥🔥

[williamsutton]

This draft class is going to have a completely different wnba experience than any of the players that came before them

[ManFinest]

If Angel can hit some 3s, she can open the game up for Cardoso. They can be on the floor together

Here is something that is crazy to me…

15, 000 Pacers fans showed up to the fieldhouse to watch us play the Lakers in the IST finals

17000 fans showed up to the fieldhouse to watch Caitlin get drafted!

Crazy timeline we’re in! Let’s go Pacers and Fever!

[Andre-koco]

Vets are gonna be thanking this group for the $ soon

Dyaisha Fair dropping as far as she did was frankly disrespectful. I know she’s small, but she’s been scoring over women twice her size for her entire career, and she’s always succeeded. She’s 3rd all-time in scoring in women’s college basketball history for a reason. The Aces got themselves a bucket.

As a relatively casual NBA watcher in general, I had never watched a full women's game live before whether WNBA or college, until I watched the Iowa vs UConn game. Honestly love to see how much Caitlyn, Paige, Angel, Juju, etc. have really boosted the women's game this year! Will actually be tuning in to some WNBA games (just Indiana's games to start for obvious reasons) this upcoming season!

[Enlightenment]

Sparks and Sky are going to be a problem.

[im_organic_mojo]

the wnba is where the league was some 50 years ago. these women are pioneering the way. paving each step dude. in 30 years I bet women will be makin 10+ mill

[nolancochran]

Been waiting for JJ to talk about Caitlin! Hope he continues to cover her career in the WNBA.

[socialistbatman]

Vancouver needs a pro basketball franchise. WNBA needs to bring back the Charlotte Sting too

[mellod]

Can't believe Chicago got Kamilla Cardosa AND Angel Reese. Kahleah Copper was a big loss, but damnit if they didn't make up for it.

[hans.lankamp]

The inevitable rivalry between Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever is such an easy slam-dunk to market the WNBA.

If this doesn't make the WNBA take off, the WNBA management will have FUMBLED.

[micheleking]

Everybody I know is trying to get them Chicago Sky tickets and the prices are going up

[JunkYardCardGuy]

The future can be exciting now...WNBA can set rivalries like Plum vs Clark...Stewart vs Reece and Griner vs Boston....the talent pool over these last 3 years are truly the spark of this expansion...

[RelixYG]

People are talking about the sparks and sky both getting 2 really good players in this draft. But the fever got the best player in college basketball history and last year they got one of the most dominant post players in college and they’re teaming up. Clark will make Boston even better, so you can almost say they drafted both of them this year because it all starts this year.

[mckenzieallen]

Just celebrated the gamecocks at the parade and saw Kamilla Cardoso holding the trophy and the next day she’s drafted 3! So happy for her!

State Farm will pay every athlete whatever but try to get them to pay a claim
