Caitlin Clark is projected to be the overall pick in 2024’s draft.

The WNBA Draft is just around the corner, and here’s everything you need to know to catch the moment when Caitlin Clark from the Iowa Hawkeyes and Angel Reese from the LSU Tigers step into the elite realm of women’s basketball.

Clark may have faced defeat in the national championship game against the South Carolina Gamecocks, but her remarkable college career led to her Hawkeyes retiring her iconic No. 22 jersey, especially after her record-breaking 2023/24 season where she averaged an impressive 31 points per game.

Meanwhile, Reese, who clinched the NCAA Women’s Division I championship in 2023 with the LSU Tigers, has been making waves as one of the most highly anticipated prospects. With basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal as one of her mentors, Reese brings a unique edge to the draft night.

Teams that didn’t make it to the playoffs determine their draft order through a lottery system, while the rest are ordered based on their regular-season standings. The pool of eligible players typically includes college seniors, international talents, and underclassmen who declare for the draft.

During the draft, each team takes turns selecting players over several rounds, with the order reversing in each subsequent round. For instance, while the Indiana Fever hold the first pick, they’ll go last in the second round. Once drafted, players have the chance to sign contracts and join their respective WNBA teams for the upcoming season.
