The 2025 WNBA draft is just hours away, and the league is preparing to welcome a new crop of talent to the court. Ahead of the draft getting underway, superstar Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark sent the upcoming draftees a quick message with the help of "Jake from State Farm."

Clark, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, starred with the Fever immediately, averaging 19.2 points, 8.4 assists, and 5.7 rebounds per game. Those strong numbers earned her an All-Star selection, the Rookie of the Year Award, and a spot on the All-WNBA First Team.

"I feel like I had a solid year. But for me, the fun part is I feel like I'm just scratching the surface," Clark confidently said after the Fever's 2024 campaign came to an end.

Now, Clark will cede some of the spotlight to the WNBA's new draft class. Ahead of the draft getting underway, Clark appeared in a video alongside "Jake from State Farm," sending the incoming class of rookies a quick welcome message before their big night.

"On behalf of State Farm, congrats draftees, and good luck," Clark and Jake said in the clip.

Clark led the Fever to the postseason as a rookie, before they ended up getting quickly swept by the Connecticut Sun in their first-round series. In her sophomore season, Clark and will be hoping to go on a deeper playoff run this time around.

The 2025 WNBA draft is set to get underway at 7:30 p.m. ET on Monday night. While the Fever don't have a first-round pick after they traded it to the Sun, they do own the No. 19, No. 20, and No. 33 picks later in the night.
