Team Clark and Team Collier are officially locked in.
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark and Minnesota Lynx standout Napheesa Collier took center stage in the 2025 WNBA All-Star draft, selecting their squads for the league’s annual showcase.
Clark wasted no time going with familiarity, using the first overall pick on her Fever teammate Aliyah Boston. Collier responded by selecting three-time champion, two-time Finals MVP and fellow UConn alumni Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty.
Then came a surprise as Clark picked Stewart’s Liberty running mate Sabrina Ionescu. Collier countered with Atlanta’s Allisha Gray, and Clark added two-time MVP A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces.
Seattle’s Nneka Ogwumike landed on Team Collier, while Phoenix Mercury forward Satou Sabally became the final starter picked for Team Clark.
One of the draft’s more notable moments came when Dallas Wings rookie and 2025 top overall pick Paige Bueckers became the last starter off the board, joining Collier’s team and linking up with fellow UConn alum Stewart.
The Lynx star held the first pick of the reserve round and quickly selected her Minnesota teammate Courtney Williams. Clark matched that energy in tabbing Fever teammate Kelsey Mitchell, the third Indiana player to join her roster.
Collier filled out her bench with Seattle’s Skylar Diggins, Chicago's Angel Reese, Phoenix’s Alyssa Thomas, LA's Kelsey Plum, and Atlanta’s Rhyne Howard.
Team Clark rounded out with Diggins’ Storm teammate Gabby Williams, Washington's Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen, Las Vegas’ Jackie Young, and Golden State’s Kayla Thornton.
The draft ended with one final twist — a coach-for-coach swap. Clark and Collier agreed to trade head coaches, sending Cheryl Reeve and the Lynx staff to lead Team Collier, while Sandy Brondello and the Liberty staff will take the reins of Team Clark.
Following the final selection, the captains made one trade, swapping head coaches. As a result, Cheryl Reeve and her Lynx staff will now guide Team Collier and Sandy Brondello and her New York Liberty staff will lead Team Clark.
