During the WNBA star match last year, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese were on the same team, while “Team Wnba” faced the American team before the Paris Olympic Games.
As team captain this year, playing in his own Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Clark remained faithful to his fever teammates and allowed Reese to be selected by his colleague Captain Napheesa Collier in the draft of the WNBA stars match on Tuesday evening.
Clark and necklace, the star of the Minnesota Lynx veteran, received the captain of the honors due to the vote of the fans, which they finished respectively number one and two.

In turn, they made a draft live on ESPN on Tuesday evening, when Clark started by taking his fever counterpart, Aliyah Boston, with the first overall choice (at this stage, only the starters were taken before the reserves). Collier then took the New York Liberty star, Breanna Stewart, ensuring their link with League 3 against 3 unmatched that they started this last season.
Clark would remain in New York, taking custody of the Sabrina Ionescu stars, while entering the triple MVP of the A’ja Wilson league of Las Vegas and the Phoenix striker Mercury Satou Sabally.

Necklace was able to recover the recruit phenomenon of Dallas wings, Paige Bueckers, the overall choice n ° 1 of this year’s WNBA draft, after Clark said that she was not going to take her with her last choice of starters because of already having two guards in her five, including herself. The collar team was completed by the Atlanta Dream Guard of the Alisha Gray and the striker of Seattle Storm Nneka Ogwumike.
When the time for reserves came, Collier chose first and went with a lynx player colleague, Courtney Williams. Clark followed suit, which caught the dynamic goalkeeper Kelsey Mitchell, who works next to her in the first five of the fever.
After taking Skyler Diggins, necklace repeated Reese, which she called “Mebounds”. It was an affectionate nickname and a nod to the new merchandise line of Reese, which was published last month.

Reese filed a brand “Mebound”, which was initially used to make fun of it for grasping their own missed shots and continuing to jostle them for two points. Reese, instead, used the term to make it positive, announcing part of the product will go to the Angel C. Reese Foundation to “help to fight cyberientidation”.
With Reese joining the collar team on the bench, Clark took the recruits of Washington Mystics Sonia Sonia Lemon and Kiki Iriafen. Necklace then caught Kelsey Plum from the Los Angeles Sparks and Rhyne Howard from Atlanta’s dream.
Mercury striker Alyssa Thomas also joined the necklace, while the goalkeeper of As Jackie Young and striker Kayla Thornton of the Golden State Valkyries and Gabby Williams of the storm also join the Clark team.

With the teams taking place, there was the possibility of negotiating players, but Clark did not do so. Instead, she revealed that she and necklace had accepted commercial coaches if possible, because the Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve was to train the Clark team.
The WNBA gave the ESPN the host of Malika Andrews Le Pouce to the trade, which set up the star match for July 19 in Indianapolis. There will also be a skills competition and a three -point competition on July 18 to launch the stars’ festivities.
