Caitlin Clark Voted Top Player to Start WNBA Team With, League's Best SG in GM Poll

Ahead of the 2025 WNBA season, it's clear that Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark has gained the full respect of the league.

Following her historic rookie year, Clark was voted as the top player to start a franchise with and the league's best shooting guard in the 2025 WNBA GM Survey.

Clark received 33 percent of the vote for the best shooting guard in the league, beating out Kayla McBride of the Minnesota Lynx and Sabrina Ionescu of the New York Liberty, both of whom received 25 percent.

Clark also tied with Las Vegas Aces star Chelsea Gray in the vote for the league's best point guard, with each of them receiving 50 percent.

Clark is coming off an incredible first year in the WNBA in which she broke the rookie scoring record and set the league's single-season and single-game records in assists. She helped lead the Fever to their first playoff appearance since 2016.

Indiana is expected to reach even greater heights in Clark's sophomore campaign following an impressive offseason. The Fever were overwhelmingly voted as the team that made the best overall moves over the last few months, receiving 64 percent of the vote.

Clark and the Fever will look to prove the projections to be correct when they open the year on Saturday against the Chicago Sky.
