Following a historic rookie season with the Indiana Fever, Caitlin Clark is already gearing up for her sophomore campaign.
Clark showcased her long-range accuracy during an offseason workout, hitting 25 straight three-pointers.
Even though the Fever selected the former Iowa standout with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, she still surpassed expectations throughout her inaugural year in the league.
In 40 starts, Clark averaged 19.2 points, 8.4 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game on 41.7/34.4/90.6 shooting splits. Although her overall three-point percentage wasn’t relatively high compared to her senior season with the Hawkeyes, the degree of difficulty on her attempts from behind the arc was likely a factor.
It’s also worth noting that she shot 37 percent from three while taking 9.9 long-range shots per game in 14 appearances following the 2024 Olympic break.
Clark finished the 2024 season with 769 total points, setting a new WNBA rookie scoring record. She also dished out 337 assists, the highest single-season total in the association’s history while her 122 three-point field goals represented the new record among rookies.
The 22-year-old was rewarded for her incredible season with the 2024 Rookie of the Year award, receiving 66 of a possible 67 votes.
As Clark prepares for Indiana’s 2025 campaign, she’s already looking sharp from behind the arc.
