CC got pick #1. Guessing she selected AB.
The story from the AP:
INDIANAPOLIS — Caitlin Clark and Naphessa Collier each have their draft strategy for the WNBA All-Star Game.
The two captains chose their teams for the game that will be played on July 19 at Clark's home arena in Indianapolis. The squads will be revealed Tuesday night.
There's intrigue as to whether Clark will draft Fever teammate Aliyah Boston with the No. 1 pick that the guard earned by getting the most fan votes. Or will she take three-time league MVP A'ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces. Clark also may try to draft All-Star reserve Kelsey Mitchell, who is another Indiana teammate.
“I think there's a high chance that Kels and AB will be on my team,” Clark said Monday at an open practice for season ticket holders. “I'm going to do everything I can to get those two. I might trade the rest of my team for those two. I'm excited, it will be a lot of fun. That's what the All-Star Game is for, giving the fans something to cheer about.”
Wilson said at practice Monday that she was fine wherever she was drafted. The Aces star has experience having been captain of the game a few times. She went against Breanna Stewart, who is also a starter again this year.
“Stewie and I always had fun, that's just us,” Wilson said. “We took it seriously, but we also didn't. We just made sure we were happy with our choices. Stewie and I had our unwritten written rules. We had a good time we had an understanding of everything."
The other starters that Clark and Collier will choose from include rookie Paige Bueckers, Sabrina Ionescu, Allisha Gray, Satou Sabally and Nneka Ogwumike.
Collier will get the first pick of the reserves. Her teammate, Courtney Williams, is among the 12 players that were chosen by the league's 13 coaches.
Other All-Stars include first-timers Kayla Thornton, Gabby Williams and Washington rookies Kiki Iirafen and Sonia Citron. It's the first time there are three rookies in the All-Star Game since 2011.
Seattle's Skylar Diggins, Phoenix’s Alyssa Thomas, Atlanta’s Rhyne Howard, Los Angeles’ Kelsey Plum, Las Vegas’ Jackie Young and Chicago’s Angel Reese round out the players.

I believe it's a bring the camp kiddies to the game idea.
In previous years maybe this made for a big attendance boost, lol
.The start times allows for Day Camps to attend. Not a bad idea and I'm sure in some markets helpful with attendance. Plus any attempt to grow the game and the league makes sense.
I like McDonald saying that Clark at the two-guard and her at the point would create opportunities. I expect CC to be guarded the same way she was before she went out. Need some good hard screens for her, and for her to navigate them properly. Want to see good off-ball movement, not just by Clark, but the rest as well.From the indystar......

Every team in the league said That Aint Gonna Happen. And the beatings began, with a little help from officials... it's not like CC helped her cause in that regard IMHO

Indy loves the Fever
The first 10 selections were the starters.
When picking from the 12 reserves, Angel Reese was pick #5 and ended up on Team Collier.

Wow. CC traded Cheryl Reeve!!!!
Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve is not happy with her league-leading team only having two players selected to this year's All-Star game.
The Fever have 3 All Stars.

Valkyrie absolutely red hot beyond the arc and the Fever fail to adjust every time.
The Fever look like crap and are getting killed. Someone needs to start guarding Thornton. The Valkyries defense is smothering.
18 point swing in the second quarter. The Fever are extremely frustrating. How can they be so bad at home?
Opponents are not allowing CC to breathe, and it's working. She hasn't been able to help this team since the Liberty game. It has been a real struggle since then.

The Valkyries are just a better team right now because of their defense.
