Caitlin Clark to Potentially Join WNBA in 2024
It looks like star guard Caitlin Clark is gearing up for a pro basketball career, with sports books heavily favoring her declaration for the 2024 WNBA Draft. The Iowa guard has shattered NCAA scoring records and is closing in on an overall record.
Currently, Clark has an impressive -325 odds of declaring for the 2024 draft, according to Bovada, implying a 76.5 percent chance. If she does go pro, the Indiana Fever is almost certain to snatch her up with the top pick in the draft.
Clark has averaged an astounding 32.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 8.5 assists per game this season, with a 46.5 field goal percentage and a 38.8 three-point success rate. Her impressive career averages of 28.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per game have solidified her as the most highly coveted women's basketball player in the world.
If Clark defies expectations and decides to return for her fifth season at Iowa, she could rake in some lucrative Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals. The next WNBA Draft is scheduled for April 15, 2024, and Clark's odds of falling to the second or third selection are practically nil.
Iowa, with its current record of 24-4, has the third-shortest odds to win the 2024 Women's NCAA Tournament. It's worth noting that the South Carolina Gamecocks are the favorites with odds of -130 to win the women's title, while the LSU Tigers have the second-likeliest chance at +800.
It's also interesting to note that while you can bet on Clark being drafted by an NBA team, her odds are extremely low due to the improbability of her making it to the NBA. As of now, her NBA Draft odds are +50000, equating to an implied probability of just 0.2 percent.
Despite the fluctuations in her MVP odds throughout the season, as of June 2025, Caitlin Clark is the second favorite to win the 2025 WNBA MVP award, with odds roughly between +200 to +250[1][2][4]. Napheesa Collier currently holds the top spot with odds of around -285 to -300.
Clark's highly favorable odds of declaring for the 2024 WNBA Draft suggest a probable career in professional women's basketball, given her remarkable performances in the NCAA. If drafted, the Indiana Fever could potentially select her with the top pick, due to her impressive statistics and status as the most coveted WNBA prospect.
