Stephen A. Smith discusses how Caitlin Clark will have a chance to showcase her talent in the WNBA and the expectations surrounding her as the potential No. 1 pick.
Stephen A. Smith explains how Caitlin Clark will have an opportunity to show even more of her talent when she gets to the WNBA . Michael Voepel covers the WNBA , women's college basketball, and other college sports for espnW. Voepel began covering women's basketball in 1984, and has been with ESPN since 1996.said it was good to know the WNBA was ahead as something to look forward to. Clark is expected to be the No. 1 pick by the Indiana Fever in the April 15 draft in Brooklyn.
"She's going to be really tired after this season. That's what concerns me the most," Bluder said Saturday at the Final Four in Cleveland."Rookies go into the WNBA, which is such a challenging time, at their most exhausted time. Clark finished her Iowa career with 3,951 points, 1,144 assists and 990 rebounds, leading Iowa to two NCAA championship games. Now comes the next step. Clark will have to go through rough treatment from WNBA veterans, but as Bluder said, she will have some talented teammates around her. Her passing skills might be one of her best attributes in her rookie season.
Jackson was Tennessee's star the past two seasons and could be a boost to the Sparks with her scoring ability. She made a career-high 22 3-pointers this season, which is a good sign for her continued progress as she enters the WNBA. She also should be a top-notch defensive player for Los Angeles coach Curt Miller.
Reese had 17 points, 20 rebounds and 4 assists in her final college game, the Tigers' Elite Eight loss to Iowa. Rebounding is her top strength, and it's a big one. How Reese's offensive game translates to the next level is the question. Even though she and Cardoso were rivals -- not friendly ones -- in the SEC, might they be rookie teammates for the rebuilding Sky?
