Indiana Fever Star Aliyah Boston Drops Truth About Helping Caitlin Clark.
As the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft, Aliyah Boston has a pretty good idea of the pressure that’s on Caitlin Clark’s shoulders. While the expectations on Clark are definitely on a different level considering her popularity, Boston is still doing her best to make sure her Indiana Fever teammate doesn’t get overwhelmed.
Boston revealed as much in a recent interview with Playmaker when asked about how she’s helping Clark transition into the WNBA. According to Boston, she always tries to “instill confidence” in Clark and remind her of what she’s capable of achieving in the league.
“Just continue to instill confidence in her, but also let her know that she’s capable of everything she wants to do here,” Boston revealed about what she often tells Clark.
“I think at the beginning of the season I wanted to reassure her [to] just continue to give herself grace and that she’ll figure it out and she has.”
Caitlin Clark, like Aliyah Boston, is also a No. 1 overall pick. But unlike her fellow Fever All-Star, there have been a lot more eyes on Clark because of the massive following she has built while in Iowa.
The 22-year-old sharpshooter had a pretty rough start to her Fever career, with the team losing five straight to start the season and winning just one in their first nine games. Clark has since adjusted, though, with Indiana turning a corner as well and improving to a playoff contender.
Clark is averaging 17.1 points, 58 rebounds and a league-leading 8.2 assists. She became the first WNBA rookie to have a triple-double, and she’s well positioned to win Rookie of the Year.
