Caitlin Clark is becoming one of the ultimate athletes to bring more views to women’s basketball. After filling up the Carver Arena stands for four years, Caitlin Clark announced her commitment to the 2024 WNBA draft. While everyone was expecting her to play another season with Iowa, or at least commit till March, she has ripped off that band-aid. In her official statement that ESPN showcased, the baller appreciated everyone after breaking the news.

The post read, “While the season is far from over and we have a lot more goals to achieve, it will be my last one at Iowa. I am excited to be entering the 2024 WNBA Draft.” While Clark seems to be fully prepared to enter Indiana, her fans are reacting to it differently. From the looks of it, they want her to become a part of the Pistons‘ roster. On top of that, for the NBA! It’s surely a wild reaction from fans. Let’s dive deeper.

Many fans commented on her official statement, giving their suggestions, “Pistons should consider her.” Another fan said, “Caitlin Clark YOU are a Detroit Piston”. Two other netizens penned, “The Detroit Pistons are now on the clock”, “Welcome to the Pistons”.

Another fan ‘corrected‘ Caitlin’s mistake saying, “I think she accidentally put a W in front of NBA.” And one added, “WNBA?!? Send her to the Pistons/ Wizards ASAP!”. Someone even advised her to go into the NBA draft, “Entering the wrong draft.” It is bizarre to see how many Caitlin Clark fans want her to commit to the NBA. However, one follower asked in confusion, “Is the NBA even allowed to draft her?” 

With the huge legacy at Iowa, the immaculate #22 is surely going to be a jersey worth remembering for the Hawkeyes. But looks like Caitlin Clark is ready to move to the next chapter of her story, after inking the previous one in gold. Her fans have made it clear that she should play alongside the men! But it is more interesting to know why.

Caitlin Clark for the NBA!?

The phenomenal point guard passed Lynette Woodard of Kansas to become the top scorer in major college women’s basketball. Next, she will also break Pete Maravich’s record in the men’s college basketball league. With her spotless college basketball career, many have started calling her the female Stephen Curry. Her stats throughout her career at Iowa also support the impact she has made.

Caitlin has maintained an average season score of above 25 points. This averages to 28.3 points per game in four years. She has also shown a good balance of offensive and defensive abilities. Her college career average read 7.1 rebounds and 8.1 assists. Comparing these numbers to the college career averages of another tremendous point guard, Stephen Curry, Caitlin Clark is doing pretty well. Curry averaged 25.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. Surely, if he can be a first-round pick, so can Clark.
