Indiana Fever President Kelly Krauskopf recently explained why free agents might be eager to join the team and play alongside Caitlin Clark.
With Clark’s standout rookie season behind her—where she not only won WNBA Rookie of the Year but also set several records—she has become a pivotal player for the franchise.
Krauskopf believes Clark’s playmaking ability makes her a desirable teammate, noting that smart players will recognize how she elevates the game by finding open spaces and creating opportunities for others, much like NBA star Tyrese Haliburton.
As the Fever approach free agency, they are likely to focus on adding depth to their roster, especially given how much playing time key starters, like Clark, logged during the regular season.
Retaining Kelsey Mitchell, Clark’s backcourt partner who is set to be an unrestricted free agent, will be a priority. Additionally, the team will be looking to bolster their lineup with a new power forward.
