Iowa's Caitlin Clark Undecided on Future as She Dominates Women's College Basketball

Clark, a potential No. 1 WNBA draft pick, weighs between pursuing a professional career or staying in college for a fifth year.

  • Caitlin Clark, a senior at Iowa, is currently leading in women's college basketball with an average of 30.2 points per game and is the ninth all-time highest scorer with 3,079 career points as of December 21.
  • Clark has the option to exercise a fifth-year of eligibility due to the COVID-affected 2020-21 season, but remains undecided on whether to take the next step in her basketball career or stay in college.
  • If Clark declares for the WNBA, she is likely to be picked by the Indiana Fever, which won the WNBA's lottery for the 2024 Draft.
  • Clark's performance has improved in most of her advanced statistical categories this season, including scoring more points, improving her efficiency rates, reducing her turnovers, and improving her defensive rating.
  • Despite her individual success, Clark's ultimate goal is to lead the Iowa Hawkeyes to a national championship, a title that has eluded her so far.
