This will be the 1st NBA Draft in recent history in which fans are in attendance with the face of College Basketball Caitlin Clark transitioning over to her new pro career. Caitlin left her mark on college basketball and has helped bring a spotlight to women's basketball. According to Clark
"I think the biggest thing for myself is at the beginning of my career, I thought everything I did had to be perfect, whether it was — a lot of it always relied on my shooting. I think over the course of my career I've been the one that's been able to realize I'm not going to be perfect every game."
