NEW YORK (Reuters) - Caitlin Clark headlines a talented Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) Draft class on Monday, as the Iowa guard and presumed first overall pick kick-starts the next phase of her career.

There are not many surprises expected, with Clark all but assured to go to an ailing Indiana Fever, after she broke Pete Maravich's 54-year-old all-time NCAA scoring record this season and became appointment viewing in U.S. households.
