The 2024 WNBA Draft is in the books, and, as expected, the Indiana Fever selected Caitlin Clark with the No. 1 overall pick. She'll get to team up with reigning Rookie of the Year Aliyah Boston, which Clark said "lights your eyes up as a point guard." Together, those two will form the most exciting young duo in the league.
Rounding out the lottery, the Los Angeles Sparks picked Cameron Brink at No. 2, the Chicago Sky went with Kamilla Cardoso at No. 3 and the Sparks took Rickea Jackson when they were back up at No. 4.
Now that all three rounds are complete, here's a look at the full results, along with breakdowns and grades for each first-round pick.
No. 1 overall pick
Indiana Fever: Caitlin Clark -- G, Iowa
No surprise here. Clark has been projected as the No. 1 pick for months, and the Fever made it official on Monday night. The two-time Naismith Player of the Year and all-time leading scorer in Division I history, men or women, Clark is one of the best offensive prospects to ever enter the league. Her 3-point range and off-the-dribble shooting are unlike anything the WNBA has seen, and she's a dynamite playmaker. Off the court, she is a marketing dream and will raise the profile of the Fever and the league as a whole.
Grade: A+
No. 2 overall pick
Los Angeles Sparks: Cameron Brink -- C, Stanford
As expected, the Sparks used their first lottery pick on Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Cameron Brink. The 6-foot-4 Stanford product led the country in blocks this season at 3.7 per game, and has the length, mobility and instincts to be a defensive star in the WNBA. She is an elite rim protector both on and off the ball, and will only get better as she gets stronger. If all goes to plan, she will follow in Lisa Leslie, Candace Parker and Nneka Ogwumike's footsteps and be the next elite big in Los Angeles.
Grade: A
No. 3 overall pick
Chicago Sky: Kamilla Cardoso -- C, South Carolina
There were some questions about what the Sky would do here at No. 3. Ultimately, they went with Cardoso, who was named Most Outstanding Player at the Final Four earlier this month after leading South Carolina to the national championship. The 6-foot-7 Brazilian was a dominant paint presence at both ends of the floor at the collegiate level, and even in the WNBA there won't be many players who can match her size. She can be a foundational defensive player.
Grade: A
No. 4 overall pick
Los Angeles Sparks: Rickea Jackson -- F, Tennessee
Everything worked out perfectly for the Sparks, who got their center at No. 2 and were still able to get the best wing in the class in No. 4. Jackson was an elite scorer at Tennessee and should only have an easier time putting the ball in the basket with more space at the professional level. Her athleticism and fluidity with the ball in her hands is rare for a player of her size, and she gives the rebuilding Sparks a go-to perimeter option.
Grade: A
No. 5 overall pick
Dallas Wings: Jacy Sheldon -- G, Ohio State
Wings CEO Greg Bibb said the team would be drafting for need at this point in their timeline, and as such it's no surprise that they went with Sheldon at No. 5. She is an active perimeter defender and an elite catch-and-shoot 3-point threat (51.4% on open attempts this season) who will help address the Wings' biggest needs. Great add for the Wings as they try to build on last season's success.
Grade: A
No. 6 overall pick
Washington Mystics: Aaliyah Edwards -- F, UConn
This was a brutal offseason for the Mystics, who lost Natasha Cloud in free agency and saw Elena Delle Donne step away from the game. Edwards is an exciting addition to help them move forward. She's versatile, efficient, athletic and works hard. Plus, UConn products are always prepared for the WNBA.
Grade: A
No. 7 overall pick
Chicago Sky: Angel Reese -- F/C, LSU
When the Sky traded with the Lynx on Sunday to move up from No. 8 to No. 7, it seemed like Reese was their target. And they did indeed take Reese with their second first-round pick. While Reese's offensive deficiencies are well known, you can develop skills on that side of the ball. What you cannot teach is Reese's relentless approach and instincts as a defender and rebounder. In a vacuum, this is great value, but the fit with Cardoso raises a lot of questions. Namely, why didn't they take Rickea Jackson at No. 3 if they wanted Reese this badly?
Grade: B-
No. 8 overall pick
Minnesota Lynx: Alissa Pili -- F, Utah
The Lynx's pick at No. 8 is the first big hinge point of the draft. No one really knew what they would do, especially after trading back. Pili is an extremely talented offensive player who shot 40.4% of her attempts from downtown, including 46.7% on open catch-and-shoot looks. There are real questions about whether she can hold up on the other side of the ball as an undersized forward, however.
Grade: C+
No. 9 overall pick
Dallas Wings: Carla Leite -- G, France
No surprise here, as the Wings went with a draft-and-stash pick at No. 9. Bibb was extremely complimentary of Leite during a call with the media earlier this month, calling her an "elite penetrator" who is "really strong in terms of seeing the court." It's unclear when she'll come over to the WNBA, but she is a talented young guard for the future.
Grade: B
No. 10 overall pick
Connecticut Sun: Leila Lacan -- G, France
Lacan is arguably the best guard prospect in this class outside of Clark, but no one was confident about where she would be drafted given her age and the fact that the French federation is not super amenable to the WNBA's schedule. It's unclear when she'll come over, but at this point in the draft it's a wortwhile gamble for the Sun. If everything works out, this could be a huge steal.
Grade: A-
No. 11 overall pick
New York Liberty: Marquesha Davis -- F, Ole Miss
The Liberty's biggest weakness last season was perimeter defense, and they hope they've solved it with Davis. She is a terrific athlete who can guard multiple positions, and, perhaps most importantly, gives them some more size on the perimeter. While she does not shoot the ball well at all from the outside, she excels at getting downhill and finishes well at the rim.
Grade: B
No. 12 overall pick
Atlanta Dream: Nyadiew Puoch -- F, Australia
Puoch is known as the "Block Doctor" in her native Australia, where she has already been playing professionally for multiple years. Just 19 years old, she has tremendous potential, particularly on defense thanks to her size and athleticism. She will fit in perfectly with the Dream's defensive-minded culture under Tanisha Wright.
