Caitlin Clark (born January 22, 2002) is an American professional basketball player for the Indiana Fever of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). She played college basketball for the Iowa Hawkeyes and is regarded as one of the greatest collegiate players of all time. Clark is the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer and was a two-time national player of the year with the Hawkeyes. Since her college career, she has helped popularize women's basketball, a trend known as the "Caitlin Clark effect".

Clark attended Dowling Catholic High School in her hometown of West Des Moines, Iowa, where she was named a McDonald's All-American and rated the fourth-best player in her class by ESPN. In her freshman season with Iowa, she led the NCAA Division I in scoring and earned All-American honors. As a sophomore, Clark was a unanimous first-team All-American and became the first women's player to lead Division I in points and assists in a single season. In her junior season, she was the national player of the year. She led Iowa to its first national championship game. Clark again led Division I in assists and set Big Ten single-season marks in points and assists. As a senior, she repeated as national player of the year and helped Iowa return to the national title game. Clark became the Division I women's career and single-season leader in points and three-pointers and broke the all-time conference record in assists, while leading the nation in both points and assists.

Clark was selected first overall by the Indiana Fever in the 2024 WNBA draft. In her first season, she won the WNBA Rookie of the Year award and made the All-WNBA First Team and WNBA All-Star Game. She set league single-season and single-game records in assists, broke the rookie scoring record, and became the first rookie to achieve a triple-double. At the youth international level, Clark has won three gold medals with the United States, including two at the FIBA Under-19 Women's World Cup, where she was named Most Valuable Player in 2021.

Early life

Caitlin Clark was born on January 22, 2002, in Des Moines, Iowa, to Brent Clark, a vice president at a product company, and Anne (née Nizzi). Anne's father was the football coach and a school administrator at Dowling Catholic High School in West Des Moines. Caitlin grew up in the city.^[1]^[2]^[3] She began playing basketball at age five and competed in boys' recreational leagues, because her father could not find a girls' league for her age group.^[1]^[4]

Clark also played softball, volleyball, soccer, tennis, and golf as a child before focusing on basketball.^[2]^[5] At age 13, she began playing several years ahead of her age group in girls' leagues.^[6] In sixth grade, she joined All Iowa Attack, an Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) basketball program based in Ames, Iowa and played for teams in the program until graduating from high school.^[2]^[7] She was coached by Dickson Jensen with Attack, and her AAU teammates included future Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) player Ashley Joens.^[8]^[9]^[10] Clark drew inspiration from Maya Moore of the Minnesota Lynx, the closest WNBA team to her hometown, and often attended their games with her father.^[11] She admired All Iowa Attack alumnus Harrison Barnes and became a fan of the North Carolina Tar Heels after Barnes joined the program.^[7]

High school career

Clark played four years of varsity basketball for Dowling Catholic High School in West Des Moines under head coach Kristin Meyer.^[12] As a freshman, she averaged 15.3 points, 4.7 assists and 2.3 steals per game.^[13] She earned Class 5A All-State third-team accolades from the Iowa Newspaper Association and All-Iowa honorable mention from The Des Moines Register.^{[n 1]}^[15]^[16] Clark led her team to a 19–5 record and the Class 5A state tournament, where they lost to eventual champions Valley High School in the first round.^[17] In her sophomore season, she averaged 27.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2.3 steals per game, ranking second in the state in scoring.^[1]^[18] Clark was named first-team Class 5A All-State by the Iowa Print Sports Writers Association (IPSWA) and Central Iowa Metro League Player of the Year by The Des Moines Register.^[19] She helped Dowling reach the Class 5A state quarterfinals and achieve a 20–4 record.^[20] Following the season, she led All Iowa Attack to the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League championship, scoring 23 points in a 64–61 victory over the Cal Storm in the final.^[21]

On February 4, 2019, during her junior season, Clark scored 60 points in a 90–78 win against Mason City High School. Her 60-point game was the second-highest single-game point total in Iowa five-on-five girls' basketball history, surpassed only by Abby Roe in 1996. She also set the state single-game record with 13 three-pointers.^[22] On February 25, Clark set the Class 5A state tournament single-game scoring record with 42 points in a 75–70 triple-overtime win over Waukee High School in the quarterfinals.^[23] She helped Dowling reach the semifinals of the tournament and finish with a 17–8 record.^[24] As a junior, Clark led the state in scoring and averaged 32.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.3 steals per game.^[25]^[26] She was named Iowa Gatorade Player of the Year and repeated as a Class 5A All-State first-team selection by the IPSWA.^[26]^[27] As a senior, Clark averaged 33.4 points, eight rebounds, four assists and 2.7 steals per game,^[28] leading the state in scoring for a second time. Her team finished with a 19–4 record and reached the Class 5A regional final, where they were upset by Sioux City East High School. Clark finished her career with the fourth-most points (2,547) and the sixth-most three-pointers (283) in Iowa five-on-five history.^[29] She was awarded Iowa Gatorade Player of the Year,^[28] Des Moines Register All-Iowa Athlete of the Year,^[30] and Iowa Miss Basketball, while making the IPSWA Class 5A All-State first-team.^[31] Clark was selected to compete in the McDonald's All-American Game and the Jordan Brand Classic, two prestigious high school all-star games,^[32]^[33] but both games were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[34]

In her first two years at Dowling, Clark was a starter on the school's varsity soccer team but focused on basketball for her final two years.^[30] In her freshman season, she scored 23 goals and was named to the Class 3A All-Iowa team by The Des Moines Register.^[13]^[35]

Recruiting

Clark was recruited by NCAA Division I basketball programs before starting high school, receiving her first letter of interest from Missouri State before seventh grade.^[7]^[36] By her sophomore season at Dowling Catholic, she was ranked the number one player in the 2020 high school class by ESPN.^[37] At the end of her high school career, she was considered a five-star recruit and the fourth-best player in her class by ESPN.^[38] Her family wanted her to choose Notre Dame, and she made a verbal commitment to the school's then-head coach Muffet McGraw. However, Clark never signed a National Letter of Intent with the school, and soon reconsidered,^[39] announcing on November 12, 2019, that she would commit to play college basketball for Iowa over offers from Iowa State and Notre Dame.^[40] Clark was drawn to the team's up-tempo style of offense and head coach Lisa Bluder's development of point guards.

National team career

Junior national team

She came off the bench and averaged 8.8 points per game, helping her team achieve a 5–0 record and win the gold medal.^[197] Clark played at the 2019 FIBA Under-19 Women's Basketball World Cup in Bangkok, Thailand. In seven games, she averaged 5.3 points per game and won another gold medal, as her team finished with a 7–0 record.^[198] Clark competed at the 2021 FIBA Under-19 Women's Basketball World Cup in Debrecen, Hungary and led the United States to the gold medal. She averaged a team-high 14.3 points, 5.6 assists, and 5.3 rebounds per game, was named Most Valuable Player and made the All-Tournament Team.^[199]

Senior national team

Clark was one of 14 players, and the only college player, to receive an invitation from the United States national team to the final training camp for the 2024 Summer Olympics.^[200] However, she was unable to attend the camp because she was playing in the 2024 NCAA tournament at the same time.^[201] Clark was not named to the final roster, a decision that faced scrutiny due to her popularity.^[202]^[203]^[204] The selection committee cited Clark's inexperience with the senior national team for her exclusion.^[205]

Player profile

Listed at 6 feet 0 inches (1.83 m),^[67] Clark plays point guard, and writers have noted her great size for her position.^[206]^[207] She is praised for her versatility, particularly on offense; The Washington Post columnist Jerry Brewer said that no player in the men's or women's game "checks every offensive box" as distinctly as she does.^[206] Clark has the ability to score in the paint, in mid-range and from three-point range.^[208] Her shooting range has been lauded by analysts; she often makes shots from well behind the three-point line and with a high degree of difficulty.^[209] Her shooting has often drawn comparisons to National Basketball Association (NBA) player Stephen Curry.^[210]^[211] Analysts have also praised Clark's passing ability, which The Athletic writer Sabreena Merchant described as being "equally audacious" as her shooting. She can pass ahead in transition and find her teammates through defensive traffic.^[212] Her combination of scoring and passing skills helps her excel in the pick and roll.^[213] Her high turnover rate, in part due to her aggressive style of play and ball-handling usage, has been criticized.^[181]^[214] Writers have likened Clark's talent and personality to Diana Taurasi.^[215]^[216] Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder compared her to Sue Bird and Sabrina Ionescu.^[210] Clark has modeled parts of her game after Maya Moore, LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Pete Maravich.^[6]

The "Caitlin Clark effect"

Widely considered a generational talent,^[217] Clark is described as one of the greatest women's college basketball players of all time by many publications.^[218]^[219]^[220]^[221] In part due to her unprecedented shooting range and proficiency among female players, she has been labeled a transformative player in women's basketball.^[222] Her impact on the women's game is likened to that of Stephen Curry on the men's game.^[223] USA Today stated that she, like Curry, has "redefined what a good shot is in basketball."^[224] The Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Gay wrote in 2024: "Clark is far from the first great shooter in women's basketball, but she's the one who is changing the dimensionality of the game, because of the distance she can shoot from and how well she can pass."^[225]

Clark is credited with popularizing women's basketball since her college career at Iowa, a phenomenon known as the "Caitlin Clark effect."^[226] In her senior season, publications attributed a rise in attendance and television viewership for the sport to Clark.^[227]^[228] As a junior, she helped the 2023 national championship game become the most-viewed women's college basketball game in history (9.9 million).^[229] Before her senior season, her team set the women's basketball attendance record (55,646) in a preseason exhibition game.^[123] At the 2024 NCAA tournament, Clark's final three games each broke the women's college basketball viewership record, culminating with 18.9 million viewers for the national championship game. It was the most-viewed basketball game at any level since 2019 and the first women's NCAA tournament final to draw more viewers than the men's final.^[230]^[231] In her first WNBA season with the Indiana Fever, she continued to drive historic attendance and viewership.^[232] The Fever set a franchise single-season attendance record, and their regular season finale set the league attendance record (20,711).^[233]^[234]
