The WNBA draft is drawing unprecedented attention, and it’s no surprise given the star power of the 2024 class, led by standout Caitlin Clark. With Clark likely headed to the Indiana Fever as the top pick, anticipation is high for her impact on Indianapolis.
Meanwhile, former LSU star Angel Reese is poised for a top 10 selection, joined by other notable talents like Cameron Brink, Rickea Jackson, Kamilla Cardoso, and Aaliyah Edwards.
Despite the spotlight on Monday night’s draft, the WNBA faces criticism for its restrictive media policies, with one Iowa employee calling out the league for limiting credentials to just one per school.
Dear @WNBA,
Only giving schools ONE credential to cover the draft is absurd. Instead of having photo & video coverage we’re forced to choose one.
Let’s work together to grow interest in the league. 🤝

Fans couldn’t believe the WNBA was shooting themselves in the foot with this decision on what would be a historic night:
1. This is a big disservice, team content is SO important to carry collegiate fans to the W
2. I’m also unable to photograph Caitlin at the draft bc they don’t credential personal photographers for athletes
Bummed about access all around, and hope this changes in the future https://t.co/8MV0pGR5wc

I’ve said it before the W does mot seem to have a very good marketing team or any visionaries who can help grieve the game. This is an example of such. https://t.co/lCag0UXcit

Say it louder ‼️‼️
Women’s college basketball is thriving. The WNBA should work with these schools to amplify the coverage.
Iowa WBB has 100k+ followers on Twitter. The Indiana Fever has the #1 pick and 77k followers. https://t.co/uvOQPSrlP4

Sad sad sad. I personally am so grateful our little Lincoln Daily News in the 217 sees the importance of a photographer and a journalist when covering girls basketball! So thankful. https://t.co/UjtPjugV8U

At the forefront is Caitlin Clark, emerging as the league’s biggest star before even stepping onto the professional court.
