Caitlyn Clark doesn’t suck, but she has been disappointing

[jjgold]

Attendance with Clark games is about 17,000

Non-Clark games about 7000

How about the ticket prize for CC's game?

Caitlyn will be fine it's only 10 games into her career. it's an adjustment for sure but she will be a very good WNBA player in time. As for the Fever they're going to need a few years before they're a good team but the good news is they'll continue stock piling high draft picks so if they draft well things can turn around for them but it remains to be seen because right now they're not very good.

Some disappointment she didn’t make Team USA roster

Not sure why

She’s a rookie

 

[jjgold]

That’s unbelievable

 

[stormtrooper8]

That’s unbelievable

Why?

She’s played 12 pro games

 

[stormtrooper8]

She’s been inconsistent and is a turnover machine

5.6 per game

Next highest is 4

She doesnt deserve to make the USA roster

 

[jjgold]

Leaving her off the Olympic team probably the biggest mistake in sports history

She’s the most popular basketball player on the planet


Not one person’s even gonna watch women’s basketball if she’s not there

It would’ve been the number one watch the event even if she just played 10 minutes a game

Bad decision after bad decisions

So selecting a team should be based on popularity and not merit?

 

[stormtrooper8]

She’s on pace to have 220 turnovers this season

The league record for a season is 137

She hasn’t earned it ON THE COURT

She’s obviously can play on that team

This is their chance to showcase the sport world wide. Nobody’s gonna watch it now. I’m sure not.

Actually, yes, to a certain extent.

But in this case Clark will have plenty of time to make Olympic teams Some tend to agree with you here, plenty of other players more deserving at this point.

This is their chance, lmao.

Relax Gold, these chances come and go and there will be plenty more with Clark.

 

[stormtrooper8]

She’ll make plenty in the future

She doesn’t deserve it right now

She “could”

Maybe she sneaks on if someone gets “injured”

But she’d be the least deserving member if she was on the team. The roster is very strong

 

[KVB]

She hasn’t earned it ON THE COURT

She’s the all time leading scorer in NCAA history, men and women’s.

I think there are many players deserving and that it’s fine if she didn’t make the team this year, but to say she didn’t earn it on the court is ludicrous.

This is the Olympics were talking about not a WNBA All-Star game.

 

[homie1975]

It’s good the sport is getting more attention

But I don’t really get how people can watch her and say she’s lived up to the hype so far

Fouling and physicality aside

holy overreaction! she's like 5 games into her pro career LOL

caitlin set wnba rookie record

Big jump from college to WNBA - the physical play takes some getting used to.

For all those unfamiliar with women’s basketball - overall it’s a more physical game anyway and WNBA looks more like a late 70s NBA than the present era - players are not afraid to make a hard foul.

It will take time for her to adjust - and for the team to get the right personnel around her. She’s a good pure shooter. She’s not going to be able to bang with the bigger and more physical players.

The MJ comparison is just not reasonable - other than hype - they are very different players. Remember - MJ needed guys like Oakley early in his career to play enforcer. Later he has such a talented crew around him and the league on his side no one was gonna foul him hard.

Again - she will be good and good for the league. She will not be head and shoulders better than anyone else in the league anytime soon - she wasn’t that in college so why would she be that now ? How many women’s programs are there in division 1 - 160 or so ? That’s a lot more teams than talent - whereas the WNBA is a pretty concentrated league and pulling more and more talent.

Her career is WEEKS old now - let’s not jump to calling it a complete bust - just because some halfwits on the internet were ready to hand her the crown a few months ago.

This.
