The Fever picking Caitlin Clark was a slam dunk. But multiple teams scored A grades, including the Sparks, Sky and Mystics.

No franchise needed the excitement Clark brings more than Indiana, which hasn't made the WNBA playoffs since 2016. Both Sides and general manager Lin Dunn said they are eager for Clark to meet all her teammates and have her personality impact the team and the community. They also said she is more than ready for what's ahead of her on the court.
The Sparks also needed an infusion of talent and excitement, and they went with two players who have very good pro skill sets and should be able to complement each other on the court. Cardoso and Reese will need to expand their games offensively, but considering their talent and size, there's no reason to think they can't do that.
This draft was all about investment in the future for Atlanta, and we might look back on it as a windfall if these players develop as hoped. Admittedly, it could also not pan out.Getting a B grade isn't typical when a team doesn't even have a first-round pick. But indulge us because we kind of love what the Aces did here. The two-time defending WNBA champions don't have any obvious needs, and it's possible none of these players make the team because it's so hard to do.
Martinez started her college career with a West Virginia team that was defense-oriented under former coach Mike Carey. The fact Carter, who might prove herself to be a serviceable pro center, was still available at No. 23 was a bonus for the Liberty, who get to at least give her a look.
