Monday night fulfilled the dreams of top women’s college basketball players as they were drafted into the WNBA in 2024. Caitlin Clark, expectedly, was the first pick, while Angel Reese slipped to seventh. Contract figures for both were already public knowledge.

Clark’s contract edges out Reese’s, reflective of her higher draft position, though not by a significant margin.
