It all began when she got selected first overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft after a stellar college career at Iowa, she lived up to the hype and averaged 19.2 points, 8.4 assists, and 5.7 rebounds per game. Clark also led the league in assists and three-pointers made and received the Rookie of the Month award four times, missing only June.

NBA ROTY Victor Wembanyama inspired by WNBA ROTY Caitlin Clark

Joining in the thousands to shower praise on the WNBA ROTY is San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama where he expressed his admiration for Caitlin Clark. Clark, who finished her season in spectacular fashion, has become an inspiration to the French star.

When she was in college, the only college player that I was really in awe of the game, you know. I’m saying men’s and women’s college basketball, she’s probably the most impressive I’ve seen.

Victor Wembanyama said

Just like CC, Wembanyama won the Rookie of the Year award in his league unanimously, although she didn’t win hers unanimously, much to the fury of fans. Wemby in his video message acknowledged the impact Clark has made in her short time in the WNBA.

Clark was going up against Chicago Sky Angel Reese and was glad to put that battle, which later became toxic at a point, to rest. Furthermore, with the Spurs scheduled to play the Pacers in Indiana on January 23, there may be an opportunity for both rookie winners Wembanyama and Clark to meet.
