Caitlin Clark‘s arrival in the WNBA has coincided with a spike in interest — and TV ratings — for women’s basketball. Clark has not found it easy to adjust to the WNBA with the Indiana Fever, but expectations for the former Iowa Hawkeyes star — who left the NCAA as college basketball’s all-time leading scorer — remain sky-high.
Draymond prefers A’ja Wilson
Rather than the sharpshooting Clark (who has elicited comparisons to Green‘s longtime Golden State teammate Stephen Curry), Draymond believes that the future “greatest player to ever grace the WNBA” should be the league’s most marketable asset.
“The best thing since sliced bread in the WNBA is A’ja Wilson,” Green said on “The Draymond Green Show.” “I’m not necessarily in the mindset that it’s all Caitlin Clark, no, A’ja Wilson is great. A’ja Wilson to me is the American dream.”
Wilson has done nothing but dominate the competition since she entered the WNBA in 2018. The former South Carolina Gamecock was the Las Vegas Aces‘ first overall pick and immediately became an All-Star power forward as a rookie. Since then, she has added new layers to her game with each passing season.
Wilson is a two-time league MVP (winning the award for the first time following her third season) and a two-time Defensive Player of the Year — as well as a two-time defending champion with the Aces. And she has taken her game to an entirely new level so far in 2024, off the back of news that she will soon receive her first signature shoe from Nike.
As of Wednesday, Wilson in second in the WNBA in scoring at 26.5 points per game and leads the league in rebounds with 12.5 per game. Wilson’s 2.8 blocks per game are slightly behind Seattle‘s Ezi Magbegor for the WNBA lead, too — and at only 27 years old, Wilson is in position to get better and better as she enters her prime.
