During a Pacers playoff game in Indianapolis, Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark excited fans by throwing t-shirts into the crowd. While Caitlin Clark, known for her high-scoring performances and record-breaking feats, recently became the No. 1 overall pick for the Indiana Fever in the 2024 WNBA Draft, it’s not her own scoring capabilities that have her most excited, but the opportunities to play alongside Aliyah Boston, the Fever’s 2023 No. 1 overall pick.
Clark praised Boston as one of the best post players in the world, highlighting her passing ability as a key factor in her excitement to join the team. Analysts, league evaluators, and Clark herself have all acknowledged that Boston’s passing skills will be a major asset at the professional level. Her ability to run the floor and make precision passes to teammates has been highlighted as a crucial aspect of her game.
Despite Boston’s dominance in the paint and Kelsey Mitchell’s scoring prowess, the Fever struggled with assists per game last season. Clark’s arrival is expected to elevate the team’s playmaking abilities and help them compete at a higher level. With both Boston and Clark on the roster, the Fever are optimistic about their chances of contending for a title in the near future.
