Basketball sensation Caitlin Clark<\/a> may be less than two weeks away from making her WNBA, but she already has a championship on her mind.<\/p>\n

However, do not expect Clark and the Fever<\/a> to compete for the title in the upcoming 2024 season, but the No. 1 overall draft pick is hoping to end Indiana’s playoff drought.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, I think (a championship) is certainly where our organization wants to get back to, but I think our goal this year is to get back to the playoffs, building blocks slowly one step at a time, you can\u2019t put all your eggs in one basket,” Clark told ESPN on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Fever advanced to the WNBA Finals in 2015 and qualified for the postseason the following year. However, the franchise has largely struggled over the past seven seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Indiana held the rights to the top overall draft picks for back-to-back years, drafting former South Carolina<\/a> star Aliyah Boston in 2023 and selecting Clark last month.<\/p>\n

Clark expressed optimism about the talent on the Fever’s roster and appeared excited to learn from her new coaches.<\/p>\n

“I think our team, and all the talent on our team, can really feel the potential that this group really has, and the coaching staff can really feel it.”<\/p>\n

Clark led the Hawkeyes to back-to-back national championship game appearances, losing to LSU in 2023 and South Carolina in April. She finished her collegiate career as the NCAA Division I’s all-time leading scorer<\/a> and was a two-time Naismith College Player of the Year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Clark helped bring unprecedented attention to women’s college basketball, and she is already making a significant impact on the WNBA.<\/p>\n

The Fever struggled to draw fans to Gainbridge Fieldhouse last season and averaged the second worst home attendance in the league in 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In April, however, the team confirmed there had been a “spike” in ticket demand in anticipation of Clark’s arrival.<\/p>\n

Clark is aware of the pressure she will be under during her rookie campaign, but she appears to be up to the challenge.<\/p>\n

“I think no matter what happens there\u2019s going to be expectations and pressure on my shoulders and pressure on this team to be really good. That\u2019s how you want it,” Clark said. “We wouldn\u2019t want anything else. We want people showing up to our games, people expecting us to win a lot of basketball games this year and I\u2019m expecting myself to play really well. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s anything that\u2019s ever been different for me.”<\/p>\n
