During last year’s WNBA All-Star game, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese were on the same team as “Team WNBA” faced Team USA in front of the Paris Olympics.
As a team captain this year, where he played in his own Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Clark remained true to his fever-teammates and let Reese be chosen by colleague captain Napheesa Collier in WNBA All-Star Game Draft on Tuesday night.
Clark and Collier, Minnesota Lynx Veteran Star, received Captain’s Certificate because of the fan vote, which they finished number one and two respectively.

On the other hand, they made a live draft on ESPN on Tuesday night when Clark started taking her fever, Aliyah Boston, with the first overall choice (at this time only starters were taken before the reserves). Collier took the New York Liberty star BREANNA STEWART next time and made sure to point out their connection with the unmatched 3-to-3 league they started the last season.
Clark wanted to stay in New York and take Star Guard Sabrina Ionescu while also fooling the three-time league MVP a’ja Wilson from Las Vegas Aces and Phoenix Mercury Tip Satou Sabally.

Collier was able to pour Dallas Wings Rookie -Fenom Paige Bueckers, the overall choice of this year’s WNBA draft after Clark said she wouldn’t take her with her last starters because of already having two guards in her five, including herself. Collier’s team was rounded off with Atlanta Dream Guard Alisha Gray and Seattle Storm Frem Nneka Ogwumike.
When it was time for the reserves, Collier chose first and went with a colleague Lynx player, Courtney Williams. Clark followed as he fooled the dynamic guard Kelsey Mitchell, who works next to her at the start of the fever five.
After taking Skyler Diggins, Collier drafted Reese, whom she called “Mebunds.” It was a loving moniker and a NIKK to Reese’s new merchandise line that was released last month.

The Reese brand “Mbound”, which was originally used to mock her for grabbing her own unanswered shots and continued to need to put them back on two points. Instead, Reese used the term to make it positive, as it advertised part of the proceeds will go to Angel C. Reese Foundation to “help fight cyber bullying.”
When Reese joined Collier’s team on the bench, Clark Washington took mystics rookies Sonia Lemon and Kiki Iriafen. Collier then grabbed Kelsey Plum from Los Angeles Sparks and Rhyne Howard from Atlanta Dream.
Mercury tip Alyssa Thomas also joined Collier, while ACES protection Jackie Young and Fremad Kayla Thornton from Golden State Valkyries and Gabby Williams from the storm also join Clark’s team.

With the teams there was the opportunity to shop players, but Clark didn’t. Instead, she revealed that she and Collier agreed to trade coaches if possible, like Lynx head coach, Cheryl Reeve, was set to train Clark’s team.
Wnba gave ESPN host Malika Andrews thumbs up to the trade, and that put the All-Star game for July 19 in Indianapolis. There will also be a skill competition and three-point competition on July 18 to start the All-Star celebrations.
