A former NBA player calls Caitlin Clark the best point guard in the WNBA because of her incredible stats.
The WNBA has reached unprecedented heights when Clark has scored twenty points or more in eleven games and dished out five assists or more, including four straight. She averages 17.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, and leads the league in assists (8.3). She also ranks second in minutes played per game (35.2). Her main potential weakness is that she leads the WNBA in turnovers, but she’s been progressively cutting that number each game, so it’s not all her fault.
(13–15) became the first overall choice in the most watched draft in history, with 2.4 million viewers. In terms of viewership, retail sales, and consistently sold-out crowds, the WNBA has shattered its own records. 3.44 million people watched the All-Star Game, making it the most viewed event in history. This is a startling 305% increase over the previous year. Of the 16 games that have garnered more than one million viewers, 14 of them have included Clark and the Fever.Many people in the basketball community have acknowledged Clark’s contribution to the WNBA. She has become a popular topic of conversation due to her remarkable accomplishments, which include becoming the first rookie in WNBA history to earn a triple-double and setting the record for most assists (19) in a single game. The co-host of “Gil’s Arena,” Rashad McCants, a former 14th overall choice, recently lauded Clark and ranked her higher than any other point guards in the league. McCants made it apparent that Clark should really win rookie of the year, and her play even qualifies her for MVP, though A’ja Wilson looks to have that title written all over her.
It is extremely unbelievable that you could have such numbers as a rookie—it’s like Magic Johnson’s debut year, just without the championship yet. Clark still puts up incredible performances in each and every game. After averaging 26 points and 9.2 assists in the two victories last week, she was named the AP Player of the Week. The fact that the Fever won both games by more than ten points was a first for the squad this season, suggesting that the Olympic break may have given them newfound energy. Even with 12 games left for the Fever, Indiana, which is now in seventh place, is on pace to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 2016, especially given the recent troubles of the Wings, Sparks, and Mystics.
