Clark was drafted with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 draft. After four years with the Iowa Hawkeyes at the collegiate level, Clark was considered one the top draft prospects in WNBA history.

There were a handful of elite options for the Fever to select in the draft like Cameron Brink, Kamilla Cardoso and Angel Reese, but Indiana’a decision to go with Clark paid dividends.
