The main absentee from Paris 2024 is Caitlin Clark: Startling data demonstrates how much the USA team needs her.

Cheryl Reeve’s selections have been lacking in quality in certain cases.

In the women’s basketball competition, Team USA is making steady progress toward the gold medal at the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024. The argument regarding Caitlin Clark’s absence has been revived because some players have not performed up to par, despite the team’s positive improvement.

Head coach Cheryl Reeve’s squad won Group C only on Sunday and advanced to the quarterfinals unbeaten. The American squad, which has one of the greatest records in the group stage, will play Nigeria, a team with one of the lowest rankings.

With forwards Breanna Stewart and A’ja Wilson among the top scorers in the group stage with respective averages of 20.3 points per game, the team has been dominant in all of its games.

The guards Chelsea Gray and Diana Taurasi aren’t listed among the best scorers in the Olympic competition, though. As soon as internet sleuths discovered this fact, they condemned Clark’s absence.
A concerning statistic was brought to light by Twitter user StatMamba, which was heartbreaking. Gray and Taurasi have combined for just four points in three games. Reeve’s starting guards had a 2/12 field goal and a 0/7 three-point shooting percentage.

But there were also some who disapproved of the Indiana Fever guard. “Wow, that’s exactly how many points Caitlin scored in her previous game! 0/7 from 3pt too!” exclaimed one, while CC scored 0/8 (by herself) in the All-Star game, according to another. Thus, maybe they require Akibe! I don’t think it matters because they’re winning without threes!”

The dispute will not go away quickly. Fans and some commentators won’t stop wondering what would have occurred if Clark had played in Paris 2024, even if the squad wins the gold medal. We can’t possibly know.
