Caitlin Clark’s WNBA debut wasn’t quite what she probably hoped for, but she’s finding her way and showing what made her one of the greatest college basketball players ever to do it. Caitlin says Aliyah Boston’s leadership is helping tremendously during her WNBA transition.
Clark is a breath of fresh air for a team that won just 13 games last season. However, even she can’t help Indiana immediately fix its woes — something 2023 Rookie of the Year Aliyah Boston knows very well.
Boston has been quietly pouring into the 2024 No. 1 draft pick, and Caitlin Clark says Aliyah Boston’s leadership is helping her with adjusting to WNBA life. Here’s some of what she recently shared about Aliyah with Nick Hamilton of TheHardwood94:
“I think the biggest thing about Aliyah, like coming in here, I think her leadership has been amazing. She’s been one of the biggest voices in our locker room. She’s been somebody that’s been there to pick me up. I’ve been there to pick her up, and you know, we’re navigating this together.”
“It’s hard — a post and a point guard trying to create that connection, that chemistry within 20 days, five games — and everyone is expecting so much. I think it’s just a learning process, and that will only continue to get better.”
