0WNBA 2024 Mock Draft: Where will Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardoso and other big name prospects be selected?
1Indiana Fever: Caitlin Clark, G, Iowa
As we previously mentioned, Clark ending up in Indiana is currently the most well-known secret in basketball.
Clark’s production over the last several years has been unmatched, leading to her setting multiple scoring records during her time with the Hawkeyes.
She finished her career at Iowa with 3,951 points, 1,144 assists, and 990 rebounds, leading Iowa to two NCAA championship game appearances. Clark also became only the 10th woman named Naismith Player of the Year multiple times after winning the award for the second time in a row this year.
Anticipation of her selection has already resulted in a historic 36 of the Fever's 40 regular season games being slated for national TV.
2Los Angeles Sparks: Cameron Brink, F, Stanford
Brink's talents on both ends of the floor make her the perfect replacement for longtime star Nneka Ogwumike in Los Angeles.
Despite Stanford being eliminated from the NCAA Tournament in the Sweet 16, Brink could still put her full talents on display after recording 32 rebounds and 18 blocks in 71 minutes. She also fouled out in both games and further proved that avoiding foul problems may be her biggest weakness as she transitions to the next level.
Brink was named the Naismith Defensive Player of the Year, nonetheless, and should quickly identify herself as one of the Sparks' best defenders for years to come.
3Chicago Sky (via Phoenix): Rickea Jackson, F, Tennessee
Jackson established herself as one of the most gifted scorers and shot-creators in this year's class after averaging 20.2 points and 8.2 rebounds in the supercompetitive SEC this season.
She made a career-high 22 3-pointers this season and averaged 29.5 points and 9.5 rebounds on 63.9 percent shooting during the Volunteers short-lived run in this year's NCAA Tournament.
Jackson has the pro-ready size and athleticism to make an immediate impact in the league, plus her continued improvement on offense shows she can easily be a foundational piece of the Sky's ongoing rebuild.
4Los Angeles Sparks (via Seattle): Kamilla Cardoso, C, South Carolina
Why add one elite defender to the frontcourt when you can add two right? Cardoso turned in an amazing run of performances for the Championship-winning Gamecocks and was named Final Four Most Outstanding Player.
Standing at a massive 6-foot-7, Cardoso's athleticism allows her to not only be a dominant force defending the rim and rebounding, but she also displayed an ability to be an offensive force when she gets the ball near the basket.
If Cardoso improves her game as a post-scorer, she can become one of the league's dominant bigs and form one of the most dangerous frontcourts in the WNBA, next to Brink.
