WNBA mock draft 2024: Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso landing spots?
With women’s basketball on a sharp upwards trajectory thanks to the stellar play of college teams like South Carolina, Iowa, LSU and more, more eyeballs than usual will be on the WNBA going forward.
On Monday, April 15, several college basketball stars will hear their name called in the 2024 WNBA Draft. This is what the first round could look like.
Indiana Fever: Caitlin Clark, PG, Iowa
LA Sparks: Rickea Jackson, SF, Tennessee
Chicago Sky: Cameron Brink, PF, Stanford
LA Sparks: Kamilla Cardoso, C, South Carolina
Dallas Wings: Aaliyah Edwards, PF, UConn
Washington Mystics: Angel Reese, PF, LSU

Chicago Sky: Isobel Borlase, PG, Australia
Dallas Wings: Alissa Pili, SF, Utah
Connecticut Sun: Dyaisha Fair, PG, Syracuse
New York Liberty: Charisma Osborne, SG, UCLA

Caitlin Clark will be the 1st overall pick
Clark is fully expected to be the 1st overall pick following a legendary career at Iowa. Although Clark’s Hawkeyes fell short to the indomitable South Carolina Gamecocks in the final, Clark will get a nice consolation prize.
Reese garnered a ton of hype over the past few seasons and was a national champion, but WNBA scouts still have some doubts about how her offensive game will translate to the league.
The WNBA Draft will be televised nationally on ESPN and will be available on the ESPN+ app as well. It begins at 7:30pm ET.
WNBA Rookie Contracts: How much are the drafted players making?
Approximately, it’s estimated that the first to be selected in the WNBA Draft will have a salary of around 70K and that it will grow during the following seasons they play.
Once each of them is selected by a team, it will be possible to know how much they will truly be paid.
