"There are a lot of emotions right now," Martin said in an interview on ESPN. "I’m really happy to be here. I was here to support Caitlin, but I was hoping to hear my name called. All I wanted was an opportunity and I got it. I’m really excited."
A big night for the Iowa Hawkeyes was headlined by Clark’s first overall selection by the fever.
After a historic season, Clark led Iowa to the NCAA women’s college basketball national championship game. The Hawkeyes fell short yet again, this time to Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Gamecocks.
Clark finished her college career with a total of 3,951 points, including 548 three-pointers made on 1,452 attempts for a 37.7% mark from beyond the arc.
