Following the conclusion of the 2024 women's NCAA Tournament, where a record 18.7 million people tuned into the NCAA championship game to see the South Carolina Gamecocks and Kamilla Cardoso defeat the Iowa Hawkeyes and Caitlin Clark, fans can now turn the page to the 2024 WNBA draft to witness both stars turn pro.
Clark and Cardoso headline 15 prospects invited to the 2024 WNBA draft, which will be held Monday, April 15 (starting at 7:30 p.m. ET) at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York.
And the lineup is stacked.
The 2024 WNBA draft prospect class includes Clark, the NCAA's all-time leading scorer; Cardoso, who was named the 2024 NCAA Tournament's most outstanding player after leading the undefeated Gamecocks to a national championship; Syracuse's Dyaisha Fair, who has the third-most points in NCAA women’s history; and LSU's Angel Reese, who led the Tigers to a national title in 2023 as that year's most outstanding player.
