They have to let her play her game because that's what people want to see:yeshrug:


It's going to rub some vets the wrong way but vets hated on Bron too when he was young.
True.

She has limitless range and ran Iowa's offense pretty well with her passing. Her defense needs work and she's gotta improve her handles to create space...but she won't be a bum.

Plus folks don't realize Caitlin is 6'0" which is pretty damn tall for a female guard. Half the broads she faces will be like 5'6". She can shoot right over their heads.

Sabrina plays the same way. The only difference is when she was at Oregon she had talent surrounding her so she didn’t have to shoot as much as Clark. She was shooting 40% from 3 and was a walking triple double. She’s also a better passer.

And she also has a signature shoe from Nike that NBA player wear.

People make it seem like Clark is “doing it first” when that’s bullshyt.


It's because her last name is Clark.

Sabrina = Kobe. Your favorite players favorite player.

Clark = LBJ. A bigger force in terms of guiding the direction of the league. More fans but more haters too, like Bron.

6ft is average height for guards in the WNBA.

I can see why she wouldn't want Clark coming & potentially messing up their strong foundational culture :mjlol:

That's a good point but Is CC even generational like that? Having her chuck shots and shyt won't help her development as a professional player. I mean she was ok in the preseason but eh.


I'll give her flowers if shyt go right but nikkas OD gassing

Let her go stretch her wings and then rein her in as needed. Trying to clip the biggest name (currently) in womens ball before she even gets started, when your team aint shyt to begin with? Thats a good way to get fired if/when they struggle again.

The WNBA is damn near a novelty. Nobody about to be watching that shyt like that. It seems as if they have a window to take a big leap in popularity, but I believe it is temporary and won’t be sustained. I’m sure the numbers are up at the moment but at the end of the day, I don’t believe enough women care about this shyt and almost no men care about this shyt.

before clark got to the WNBA, I told everyone that she's not averaging 30. I've been watching the WNBA since 1999. I refused to watch it the first 2 years because they stole all of the ABL players, which I was a fan of. Nikki Mccray and DAwn Staley are 2 of my top 5 favorite players all time. We've seen so many players be dominant in college only for their numbers to fall in the WNBA. My team is the Mercury. I I said we would have a deep playoff run this year with adding Cooper, but then Griner is out indefinitely with a fractured toe. The league isn't doing Clark any favors by giving her team chartered flights(and the Linx, but every team doesn't have that yet) and hyping her up. She shoots well, but she's really not that good. When she drives right, she drives hard to the basket, when she drives left, she steps back most of the time.


I remember when Holdsclaw was coming in the league. I thought she was going to be unstoppable, but it was a learning curve for her too. Teams matter, coaching matters, GMs, and players go tot readjust their game. When Taurasi and Bird said that Paige would be a better pro, I agreed with them. Her game is more complete than Clark's. We've just seen players in men and women's basketball put up a ton of points in college only to do a fraction of that in the league. Add in that the Fever has mitchell, smith, and boston on the team already. These girls aren't going to be glorified screen setters for 40 games just so Clark can shoot 15 threes per game while not getting their own points. Also, everyone is waiting on the Fever/Mercury matchup. Before the season started, I stated we were gonna beat em again this season. Last season we split with them, but the games they won, Griner was out. More than likely, they will beat us again this season that Griner may be out for the whole season. The good news is that we may get the first pick next year and that's going to be Paige(barring injury). And hopefully Taurassi retires soon because she's injury prone now with nothing more to prove.
