Caitlin Clark’s welcome to the WNBA continued Sunday, with the Indiana Fever opening training camp.
And the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer is already noticing how much different the pros are compared to college.
“It’s definitely different, but that’s what you expect when you start a new chapter in your life,” Clark said. “It’s fast, fast shot clock, but I think all of you know that’s how I like to play. So, I think it suits my game pretty well. It’s a fast pace, a lot faster than college, and you’ve to learn quicker because you’ve got to get your mind on Friday.”
Friday will be Clark’s first game action, as the Fever take on the Dallas Wings in the first preseason contest of the new season.
Clark’s speed, which was seen in abundance during her time playing for the Iowa Hawkeyes, and her other outstanding attributes on the court are something her teammates are already thinking about playing with.
“I think Caitlin has a different eye for the game,” Aliyah Boston, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2023 WNBA Draft, said. “You’re able to see how well she passes the ball and how well she shoots it. You see her communicating, you see the way she can find you; I mean her passes are tremendous. I’m like ‘OK, I’ll get a touch, just let me get down there’ just because of how well she passes it.”
