Caitlin Clark is selected first overall by the Indiana Fever in highly-anticipated WNBA Draft... as the all-time NCAA basketball points leader turns pro days after appearance on SNL

After very little speculation and much pomp and circumstance, the Indiana Fever have selected Caitlin Clark with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft.

Clark, who led Iowa to consecutive national title game appearances, will stay in the Midwest and will hope to help turn around a struggling Indiana franchise that hasn't been in the playoffs since 2016.

But now, one of the greatest to ever grace a college basketball court is off to the pro ranks where she'll team up with last year's No. 1 overall pick - Aliyah Boston.

Clark left Iowa owning the record for the most points ever scored by a man or a woman in college basketball history.

But she was never able to taste the success of a championship in college - falling to LSU in the 2023 title game and South Carolina in the 2024 title game.

Clark celebrated at the draft in Brooklyn and walked up to the stage where she was greeted by WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert with a hug and a Fever jersey.

She's already being hyped up enough to warrant an appearance on Saturday Night Live over the weekend.

This evening, Clark stepped out wearing Prada from head to toe - becoming the first WNBA or NBA player to be dressed by the design house for a draft.

According to Spotrac, Clark's rookie contract will be worth $338,056 paid out over the course of four years - with a fourth-year option. 

Clark will take the court for her first regular season game in about a month's time - when the Fever travel to take on the Connecticut Sun on May 14.
