Clark's potential is being the greatest offensive force in the wnba ever she is going to easily lead then"W" in points created (asseted/scored) like every year for a decade nobody has her combination of range shooting ,shoot creation, ball handling, BB IQ, court vision/passing, and at the same time being 6 foot and just athletic enough to be a match up problem for smaller pesky good on the ball defensive guard's


And you had goofy nikka's in the first half of this thread questioning if CC was a generational basketball talent :russ:

A lot of nikka's really don't no ball like that or where just trolling and dap fishing each other:ohhh:

We have some of the worst defending starters in the league. Clark will continue to struggle with good defenders and teams that can defend the pick'n'roll. Did you not see the olympics and the way way Taurasi/Griner on the floor was giving up leads? The same applies in the league. Those 2 going forward should NEVER be on the floor together. Add in Cunningham who is nothing more than a training cone, if not for Copper, we probably would not have won 5 games all season. Griner is still forcer on the block, but she just can't defend the pick and roll worth shyt nowadays and her rebounding reaction time is terrible. This is a woman that was drafted 11 years ago and has battled injuries(and still battling them), plus spent a year in a russian prison. Griner and Taurasi got to go soon. This shyt is crazy.

she hasnt really been struggling since july though. Her shot wasnt falling as much without rest but that was on good and bad defenses. I know some of yall got your issues with her but copper guarded clark the majority of the game so its not like they didnt have a good defender on her.

and she got space because Griner didn't hedge the screens or help. Add in that we had to cover for Cunningham and Harrigan getting backdoored to death. This team is defensively is terrible. Offense isn't a problem. We have some good nights, but if you put us in the pick'n'roll, or attack Taurasi and Cunningham, we're fukked. Tauarsi is so slow at this point in her career on defense, she struggles to even catch up to a player to foul them. It's sad. It's like Ginobili getting those legacy checks from the Spurs because Popovich didn't want to make him retire.

I would always say to myself that the Angel Reese superfans are doing her a disservice by placing her in a tier that she doesn't really belong in so it opens her up to some very intense scrutiny that she doesn't deserve. Shame on you stans that think you're "helping" Angel smh

This article pretty much sums it up

Angel Reese Is Not Helped By Comparisons to Caitlin Clark

Angel Reese is the kind of player who can help any team. She rebounds. A lot. She hustles. She plays defense. She does the dirty work. Reese's skills should pos

Yup.

Saying she's on Clark's level right now is setting her up to all the immediate criticism.

Saying her potential is better is another story, because she has a really high ceiling (as does Clark) but she has to work really hard to get there because a lot of her fundamentals are simply not good. It's more realistic to think Clark will reach her ceiling.

People are mistaking their floors for their ceilings.
