The ‘Caitlin Clark effect’ ahead of an WNBA draft for the ‘record books’
US basketball star Caitlin Clark has been breaking records on and off the court.
Caitlin Clark has been breaking records on and off the court during her collegiate basketball career, but what’s next for the US basketball star?
Clark has scored over 3,900 points, more than any male or female college athlete in history, and her performances for the Iowa Hawkeyes this season have also led to record-breaking viewing figures in America.
Even though it wasn’t a Championship-winning end to her collegiate career as the Hawkeyes lost 87-75 to South Carolina in the NCAA final, the impact Clark has had both on and off the court has been dubbed the 'Caitlin Clark Effect'.
Basketball reporter and broadcaster ShaVonne Herndon tells Sport Today’s Maz Farookhi about the impact she’s had on women’s basketball and also previews an WNBA draft for the ‘record books’.
