The deadline for all NCAA players not participating in the Final Four to declare for the 2024 WNBA Draft has now passed, and the pool of players is set. All the festivities will take place April 15 in New York City with fans in attendance for the first time since 2016. 

Naismith Player of the Year Caitlin Clark and Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Cameron Brink, the projected top-two picks, had long since declared. They were joined this week by All-Americans Kamilla Cardoso and Angel Reese, each of whom opted against using their extra COVID year. Some notable names did decide to stay in school, however-- including Georgia Amoore, who was widely projected to be a top-10 pick. 

Ahead of this weekend's NCAA Final Four and national championship game, here's a look at how the first round could pan out with CBS Sports' mock draft 3.0. 

1. Indiana Fever: Caitlin Clark – G Iowa

As expected, the Hawkeyes star was named Naismith Player of the Year for the second consecutive season, adding yet another accolade to her resume. After a slow start to the tournament, Clark was back to her best over the last two rounds. Her unique offensive talent was on full display with a 15-assist performance in the Sweet 16 and a 41-point outing in the Elite Eight to carry Iowa back to the Final Four.
