'Superstar' Clark goes to Indiana with No. 1 pick

 Caitlin Clark, a "superstar" in American college basketball, joined Indiana Fever as the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA rookie draft.

Clark was selected by Indiana as the first choice in the 2024 WNBA Rookie Draft held in New York on the 16th.

Clark played 139 games on the NCAA stage, averaging 28.4 points, 8.2 assists, and 7.1 rebounds.

Fans flocked to every place where they combined long-distance three-pointers and exquisite assist abilities reminiscent of Stephen Curry (Golden State), the NBA's "superstar."

The final match between the University of Iowa and the University of South Carolina, where Clark played on the 8th, averaged 18.7 million viewers.

Except for the National Football League (NFL), the Olympics and FIFA World Cup were the only sports events that had more viewers in the United States since 2019.

It was found that 12 million people watched the quarterfinals against Louisiana State University and 14.2 million people watched the semifinals against Connecticut University.

Clark, the all-time box-office champion, set a record of 3,951 points in all men's and women's top divisions of the NCAA. However, Clark's Iowa University lost 75-87 in the final, and failed to win the title.

"I've dreamed of this moment and worked hard since I was a sophomore," Clark said, according to the Associated Press and Reuters news agency. "I'm 22 years old and don't have the answer to all the problems in the world. But the WNBA is a new challenge for me." 토토사이트
