Making the transition from college to the WNBA is a tough one. Rookie Caitlin Clark says she's really thankful to have a teammate like Aliyah Boston in Indiana.
Aliyah Boston has been a great mentor to Caitlin Clark during the 2024 season. The Indiana Fever rookie guard says she's "really thankful" to have such a positive leader in the locker room.
When Clark was selected No. 1 in the 2024 WNBA Draft out of Iowa, a lot of expectations followed her to Indianapolis. Having to deal with those — along with developing as a basketball player — hasn't been an easy task.
Caitlin Clark on her friendship with Aliyah Boston: “she’s such a positive light in our locker room… she’s been somebody that’s been really helpful throughout my rookie year, obviously having gone through it just a year ago… I’m really thankful for her.”Boston was the WNBA Rookie of the Year last season, averaging 14.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.3 steals per game.
There have been some rough patches through the first half of the season, but Clark says her chemistry with Boston is getting better as the season continues. "I think you can tell our chemistry is really coming along," Clark said. "A lot of that has been developed through games. So, the more practice we get together, the better it's going to get.
