Courtney Williams let Caitlin Clark know she received the message loud and clear.
WNBA All-Star Makes Promise After Not Getting Drafted By Caitlin Clark originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The teams for the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game are set following Tuesday night's draft conducted by captains Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever and Napheesa Collier of the Minnesota Lynx.
"Team Clark" blends star power with home cooking. Reigning WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson and 2024 WNBA champion Sabrina Ionescu headline the team. Clark ensured the Fever would keep their three All-Stars together for the game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse by drafting teammates Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell.
"Team Collier" is stacked with heavy UConn Huskies and Unrivaled influence, taking after its captain. New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart was her first pick, joined by Paige Bueckers, Angel Reese and one of the most popular players off the court this season — Lynx guard Courtney Williams.
In her 10th WNBA season, Williams is making her second All-Star appearance. She is averaging 13.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.9 assists for the league-leading Lynx (17-2).
Alongside teammate Natisha Hiedeman, the pair has started a successful live streaming channel called "Studbudz," which has more than 15,000 followers on Twitch.

After her All-Star selection, Williams doubled down on their previous plans to do a livestream from All-Star Weekend, even though she will play in the game.
"(Hiedeman) might as well be an all star too, because we’re going to be hip to hip," she said on Sunday. "The show goes on baby, 72 hours we’re in there.”
Collier snapped up her Lynx and Unrivaled teammate with the first overall pick of the All-Star reserves, and Clark was immediately disappointed she did not have a chance to take Williams.
"I wanted her on my team!" Clark said. "I wanted to be part of the livestream. I'm sad. Maybe Courtney will still let me be on the livestream."
The Studbudz wasted no time with their response, and Williams did not plan to hold the pick against Clark.
