Hm, are you saying that the WNBA scheduled 11 games in 20 days for the Fever because of Caitlin specifically? Not sure the timeline wholly lines up... the schedule came out in December and Caitlin declared for the draft in February?
Seems more of a happy accident to me, or maybe the schedulers hedging their bets. But regardless, do hope the league and the players benefit significantly from a new rights deal.
If I recall correctly, the schedule came out before the draft but it was after the draft lottery, so they knew Indiana would have the #1 overall pick. While there wasn't a 100% guarantee Caitlin Clark would declare, that was always the more likely scenario as she had already played 3 full seasons and was playing her 4th (senior) season. Plus there were other signs, like apparently Clark's boyfriend worked or works for the Indiana Pacers.
Hi Pearl, by All-Star team I was referring to both teams including Team USA. They have Jewell Loyd and Nneka Ogwumike. When referencing all the teams, I factored in both Team All-Star versus Team USA as they are all counted as WNBA All-Stars.

Seattle Storm has only one player on the All-Star team. Your summary says, two. Of course that would include Ezi, who rightfully belongs on the team!
