- Caitlin Clark Proved To EVERYONE That She’s The BEST Playmaker in the WNBA.
In The WNBA All Star Game, Caitlin Clark once again made HISTORY, as she tallied 10 assists, making her the first rookie to record 10 assists in a WNBA all star game. In her last game with the Indiana Fever, Caitlin Clark recorded 19 assists, making her the first ever player to record 19 assists in a game. Caitlin Clark just keeps making the history books. How good will she be?

Caitlin threads the basketball like a quarterback passes the football. Her timing and accuracy are amazing and without equal from anyone else in the WNBA.
The Patrick Mahomes of basketball!
On her assist to Aliyah Boston, I'm not sure the ball didn't juke right and then left to get past the players in between them.
Caitlin Clark's biggest Assist in this game was when the Coach tried to send her back into the game and she came back to the bench and told the coach she wasn't going back in because Arike Ogunbowale was on a hot streak.
That look Jonquel Jones gives CC after the pass to Boston, like "Dang girl!"
Jones reaction was hilarious! There are other camera angles of this play where you can see Griner’s facial expression too. CC is so much fun to watch!
every team need a play maker like CC, special for Jonquel Jones, point guard has been Liberty's weakness, sloot has been killed by any team's average point guard
What time stamp?
@@Lou-Lou8343from this video? Its the pass she makes at 2:33
But I don’t think you can see JJ face after. Look up the highlights video, you’ll see it there
@@Lou-Lou8343 It's about 2:38, some other videos show it better.
That needle threading pass to Boston is *chef kiss* so smooth
CC's the best playmaker and you're the best commentator. I watch everything you put up.
Facts..he's great
Him and Mick combined would probably be the best commentary show in all the internet.
She is an amazing playmaker, but 4 points is not great. I am she she was not happy with it.
Agreed, love listening to you!
Or him and Ben Daniel!
That pass she threw to Jonquel Jones was ✨ omg
Someone said it, can’t remember who, that was like a quarterback pass to a wide receiver 🎯 landed perfectly
Jones has great hands, too. When I saw that I was thinking I don't know if anyone on the Fever could have gotten that pass so cleanly.
@@The_Smart_Money not even Temi
@@tingmei884 maybe Temi after she gets back from injury, she’s got great hands
But yeah JJ catching that one-handed… man I wish I could watch it again for the first time, that’s how good that game was
Also basically 1 turn over the whole game as she is playing with high caliber players with high IQs. The other TO was a shot clock violation so dont know why it got recorded under Clark
The turnover dummies are punching air rn. That’s their whole narrative
@@jaylucas8352 LOL
"She didn't play, she sucked, she was the worst player at the all star game, REEEEE!!!!"
Or they'll say something like that.
Point guard runs the clock, just like the QB in football.
Actually, we're both wrong. Stewart intercepted a pass at 7:25 in the 4th, and A'ja intercepted with just 30 seconds left. Two turnovers. The super Clark to Reese assist happened in between, so she was still cooking. Clark may have been trying for more assists to break the record when she was a bit tired. She said in post game she didn't want to break the record, but gave a sideline taped interview during the quarter where she said she did. Anyhow, 10 assists, some eye-poppers, with two late turnovers is great. If she can keep doing that the future is now, both for her and her team.
My basketball IQ was pretty limited until I discovered Carter's videos. Thanks for upping my game, Carter!
Caitlin Clark was in her element facilitating to all star teammates. 10 assists in two and a half quarters (26 minutes) of play. The post game interviews with players from both teams revealed their respect for CC and their admiration for her as a person. This is a far cry from the usual reporting of players hating her.
on the other hand, it's no surprise to fans who saw her get standing ovations at away games. not sure why coaches (including Sides) haven't gotten the memo.
telling fact NO TURNOVERS when playing with better players
@@thomasespositio3139 ???? She had 2 turnovers. But a 5 to 1 assist to turnover ratio is spectacular. Especially considering 2 or 3 eye-popping plays threading the needle.
@@PatrickSchoenfelder I thought she may have had one a shot clock violation why wouldn't that be a team turnover?
@@thomasespositio3139 It was called an intercepted pass, and A'ja was fouled by Nneka, who was the target of the pass, and A'ja sank two free throws. Not a ball out on side as with clock violations, and it was scored as a TO. It may be that you would have needed to review the play with a clock inset to know for sure, but that was the call.
Shot clock violations are team violations, but this was called a TO.
Yes, CC led the nation in scoring three times but she also led the nation in assist three times and finished 3rd all-time in NCAA history in assist.
That’s why we knew she’s a generational talent
It was this level of defense on CC that got her teammates so open. Wow. It's hard to believe the complete stupidity of Caitlin Clark haters. But, let me give a situation that even haters can understand. Someone pulls a gun on you that you know holds six bullets. The gunman fires off 4 shots and, by dumb luck, misses. I'm sure that the hater thinks to himself that he is safe and tells the gunman to shoot at him again because he KNOWS that the gunman will miss again. But, the threat remains. That's why CC draws that level of defense. That's why she has that degree of gravitational pull.
When CC starts hitting those 3's again, she'll be encouraged to shoot more as well and there will be a lot of 30 point games in the future.
The pass at the 2:23 mark was so good her teammate turned to look at her like "what the Hell?" when Boston scored.
Good eye
She will be the GOAT. The scoring is bound to come around. When they do, and she has some pieces around her, she will be averaging 25/15
Agreed! Cheering for CC from the Philippines! :)
Yes her scoring will get even better than college. Professionals get better not worst as they play other pros. Let’s see what she does after a break and returns the middle of August for the last 14 games.
This Olympics break will wind up being a blessing. Those legs will get some much needed rest.
If you followed CC long enough and noticed Boston's appreciation of CC you'd know CC was not one to hoard the basketball. Hannah Stuelke knew if CC was double covered, she was going to get the ball. Boston and CC had played several years together in FIBA. Boston also knew she could score if she was free.
Thank you for the analysis. You doing any thing for team USA during the Olympics?
Personally, placing CC in Team USA would be detrimental as the old bitties move too much slow.
That’s why they’re looking to play defense & half court… but I shall not watch…. And now here and how perverted they’re being with sexually deviant in your face.
More good work. I notice the peanut gallery shouting, "But, turnovers..." gets quiet when she has one or zero. 10 to 1 TO ratio is not bad. Plus, when she comes back with fresh legs the back half of the season could be extra fun.
5 to one, but still great. Stewart and A'ja both picked off passes in the 4th quarter, Stewart at 7:25, A'ja with just 30 seconds left. Both of them are exceptionally quick and have exceptionally long arms, but maybe Clark had lost a little snap on her passes due to fatigue. The last turnover was unnecessary, since the game was already effectively over, but CC had told a sideline reporter on tape that she wanted to get the assist record. In post-game, Clark said that she didn't want to break her "homie's" record, but the interview, the two blown attempts, and her call of the excellent assist to Reese all say different. Clark did not get where she is without having exceptional competitive drive.
Anyhow, 10 assists with two turnovers is outstanding point guard performance.
Loved seeing each of Caitlin's ten assists with your commentary. Thank you!
CC plays with speed, vision, anticipation and pass execution of no other W player I have ever seen. I know it is too soon to talk about how great she will be, but no other rookie has ever come into the league with her tools. If the Olympic rest improves her shooting how good will she be?
If we can get the light to come on for TF and AB starts shooting the short jumper, it will be a heck of a second half.
Master Carter is the best analyst of this game. He is qualified to provide on-air game commentary. Good work.
Another quality video! Enjoyed so much CC's assists during the All Stars! Out of this world! She IS going to be the GOAT! Cheering from the Philippines!😊🙏💕🇵🇭🏀
AB will be the next Malone if AB can just have a 70% mid range shot
The reason why she is hitting her 3s is because people for some reason hasn’t noticed that she has been hitting the gym and put on at least a couple pounds of muscle to her arms and with that it is effecting her shot. She now needs to relearn how to throw up her shot because her strength is stronger so she needs to relearn how hard to throw the ball because with that added strength she is throwing it to strong making the ball all but bounce out of the basket instead of go in, she just needs to adjust and accumulate to that strength and once she does she will be hitting her shots and even more so be hitting even harder and farther shots because her strength will be even more. Then also add in her exhaustion to that and you can see why she is in a 3pt shooting slump but she has figuring out everything else out she will figure this out as well and right now she has a whole month off and knowing her determination and winning mentally there is no way she isn’t going to be working nonstop during the break to get that figured out along with other things she needs to work on.
Blessing in disguise that she isn’t on the Olympic team making it so that CC & the Fever will end up becoming the dark horse in the Playoffs and might pull off an upset in the Championships
Excellent point about Caitlin's added strength how that would affect your three-point shooting. You are right, Caitlin will make adjustments because that's the kind of player she is. Can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings.
@@KathleenMoore-ws2vt so true. Also with that added strength that CC has put on especially on her arms it’s going to allow her to take even further away from the basket shots. People think her shots were far before…well CC said hold my beer…we could easily have her pulling up shots from half court and make them easily with the amount of strength she has put on.
You mentioned needing a taller faster player - that’s supposed to be Temi I think. Fever is missing her. Gonna be lit when she is back, which hopefully she is after the break but idk
She did do that in the last game against the Fever. They couldn't stop her even with 19 assists. I was bummed.
I think Nneka is a free agent next year and so is Erica Wheeler. If Fever release Wheeler, that frees up a lot of money!
I want Nneka so bad!
@@mag07226 me too! She would fit in great!
No one missed her passes at the Game. She can keep throwing crazy passes, but her team needs to be there to catch them.
I blame Sides. (I know, I know, "CC stans blame everyone else" blah blah blah.) but Lisa Bluder knew how to coach her: "you have to let Caitlin be Caitlin." Cheryl Wheeler figured out the same thing, in a couple of days. Sides has had months to work with her and her teammates, to get them used to those amazing unexpected passes: look for them ALL the time, and the minute you're open get ready to shoot because the ball may be coming your way already -- but she's done very little to build that teamwork.
CC has had to do it herself, working with AB, starting to click with KM and some of the others, TF and LH.
and I'm still seeing comments on RUclips about (this is a literal quote), "nobody cares about assists." say what?
Im glad that one isn't running thru my algorithm! : )
@@marceybull probably because I make the noobie mistake of arguing with them. sigh.
The crazy thing about the CC-A.Reese play is that if you watch the entire play, you see Angel signal at the being of the play to CC that she's going down to post.
Angel runs down the right and CC trails her, until Ionesco comes up and blocks CC at half-court, causing CC to veer toward the left side of the court. CC slows her pace and Ionesco shadows her. CC keeps moving over into the left side of the court until she has an angle that she likes and suddenly accelerates into the lane before Ionesco knows what she is doing. Her slow pace lulled the defense into their own slower pace and, so, by the time Ionesco reacts, CC has passed her. Meanwhile B. Stewart was also shadowing at a deeper level but stopped when CC moved lateral to the left side of the court and perpendicular to the basket so that she appeared to be out of driving range. Suddenly, she too realizes too late that CC has unexpectedly accelerated toward the basket and entered into the lane from the left side. It is too late for Stewart to do anything about CC's drive. Now, it is just B. Grier, who sees CC about to get a layup if she continues to hug the shoulder of Angel. So she moves to stop CC ... only to realize as she's moving away from Angel that the ball is bouncing past her and into Angel's hands.
This play was completely constructed by CC, who outwitted at least three defenders to get the assist to Angel. These are some of the best women basketball players in the country, if not the world, and they clearly wanted to stop CC on this play, yet she tore their defense apart. Very impressive!
Good description. Court-side microphone actually picked up CC calling that play verbally to Reese with the USA shot still in the air on the other end. Reese signaled back that she got it, jetted down well ahead of CC and set up.
Caitlin uses the court, hesitation, lateral movement to keep her defender clueless as to what she is going to do - stop and shoot a 3, drive or pass. She is a master with the ball in her hands. That is why I can never understand it what Sides takes the ball out of her hands for key stretches to let other teams catch up to the Fever. When Caitlin’s in the game, everything should run through her.
Sounds like the play of the GOAT
Poetry in motion
First full game I saw of her I knew how much of a creative passer she is and that it comes from her court vision. She has an uncanny sense of where everyone is and will be as soon as she has the ball in her hands. I don’t believe it’s a learned skill it’s more of an innate and instinctive gift. From that point on I knew she was special.
Like the Great Dawn Staley said.. Clark is ONE of the Goats! I believe that's true. I'm with you, brother. Thanks for your great analysis again.
Fever should move mountain to get Satou or JJ
Don't know about you all, I could watch CC'S highlights all day long.
Caitlin Clark is the best player in the league.
Caitlin Clark leads the WNBA in Assists and 3PM - has averaged 17.1 points, 7.6 assists, 5.9 rebounds per game, just attained the coveted Triple Double Double Stat - 19 Points - 13 Assists - 12 Rebounds in a single game defeating NY Liberty - FIRST ROOKIE in the WNBA to ever do that, and is the first WNBA player to have 29 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds, 5 steals, 5 three-pointers, and 3 Blocks the a game against the Washington Mystics
Caitlin Clark is a 3 dimensional transformational generational player who has literally revolutionized WNBA Women's Basketball to a new level, rewriting the records books with every game she plays, as the leader on the court making the plays, reads the defense, determines the best play to score and executes, passing the ball with expert precision leading the league in assists, driving the pace makes her teammates even better, upping their game without even realizing it is the true measure of greatness, is without a doubt the WNBA League's ROTY and MVP, the greatest woman's basketball player of all time - in my humble opinion.. which is why the WNBA old guard elites hates CC, because it means that their basketball talent and skill is not what they think it is in whatever capacity measurement they choose, in comparison to Caitlin Clark.
The impact CC has on Indiana Fever in her rookie year is without question because of Caitlin Clark's generational talent, skill, basketball IQ, leading the team to the WNBA Playoffs for the first time since 2016, in spite of the having the worst basketball coach in the WNBA, who is doing all she can to sabotage CC
Caitlin Clark is doing what Tiger Woods did for Golf. Tiger Woods being the most iconic prolific Golfing sensation in PGA history. Tiger Woods transcended Golf, as did Michael Jordan for the NBA. This is who Caitlin is on the same level with, not Aja Wilson.
Caitlin Clark has literally revolutionized WNBA Women's Basketball to a new level, rewriting the records books with every game she plays, is without a doubt the WNBA League's ROTY and MVP, the greatest woman's basketball player of all time !
This is why the massive appeal draw is Caitlin Clark, not Aja Wilson, is why the WNBA has been a dismal financial and fan appeal failure since it's conception
Really enjoyed your video and the breaking down of the plays.
There is video out there showing the bounce pass to Boston where the ball is coming right at the camera. That view really shows how impressive it was - missed Griner's foot by a fraction..
"if you watch these videos all the time and you haven't subscribed yet, what are you doing? help a brother out!"
Yep hard to accept she's a magician.....Time and space obey her commands when it comes to passing.
Great job with this video and analysis.
I haven’t been this excited to watch a basketball game at any level in 20+ years, but I look forward to every Indiana fever game.
#CatchTheFever
And if they’re allowed to get there 💩 together and play as a team have another name for them
#TheFantastic5
Clark, Boston, Smith,The Hull, and roadrunner Mitchell
I think I've seen five different angles on that pass and I never get tired of watching it! 😂😂
I mean, it's not just how narrow the passage was, but the timing to get it to AB when AB could catch it, before that gap closed! It's like something out of a movie and I don't just mean a sports movie, I'm talking Indiana Jones here! Wait... new nickname coming to mind...
Loved that hook
Boston and Clark are becoming one!
you gotta ask for subscriptions more, just like you did in this one. people will subscribe if you ask them for it. ask for likes and subscribes. you fully deserve them. awesome work, fascinating. btw my favorite moment of the game is Jonquel Jones reaction to the clark-boston pass....she was absolutely stunned. I like the fact you showed it 4 times.
Carter you did a fantastic job on this video!
I will say that 7:53 you were talking again about the double team and being lax, well that is because of Cheryl reeves, she wanted to shut CC down so bad that why they wear defending her like they were. It my have stopped CC from scoring but it didn't stop here from Assists and great passing and leaving 4 on 3 with open shooters, and it didn't stop CC's defensive skills
Watching Caitlin this year I noticed for the first time she was stretching her leg muscles at stoppages of play indicating tightening of her leg muscles. That I think is the reason she had difficulty sinking her 3's as the season progressed. Now that she's had time to rest her legs I expect to see the Caitlin we saw in College, the shooter/playmaker.
Carter! Two really neat things... First, after Caitlin threaded that pass to Aliyah that led to her making the shot, did you see Jonquel Jones' reaction? She looked at the shot go in, then turned around really fast, as if to say, "...holy crap!..." I thought that was really neat. Second, I don't know if you've seen this new clip I saw just today of Caitlin's pass to Angel. Caitlin was mic'd. The clip starts with Sabrina making a shot, immediately after which Caitlin yells, "Go, go, go!" Angel runs down the court and Caitlin passes it right by Griner, and Angel makes the shot. Seen it? It's so neat because it's like you're on the court, hearing Caitlin essentially saying run your buns off so I can pass to you.
You nailed it bud !! The Fever need a 3 and D athletic player at the small forward position. Caitlin, Mitchell, Smith, Boston and an athletic 3 who can hit wide open 3s would be lit !!🔥🔥
They need Temi back healthy.
CC is literally the best rookie guard that has ever entered the W. This is just facts based on stats. Once she has an offseason to rest her legs and she’s making 3-6 3PG, there will be no debate. 🐐
The best play of the game was when she needle threaded to AB.. Best is when the other player just looked with her mouth open seeing what she did.. I laughed so hard with her actions..
Great passers need GOOD receivers , they DON’T necessarily have to be great receivers.
Well done...❤..She's a magician first
Carter gets it. I'm a fan of this account.
CC 22 Shooting is on point she is a high-score player, one of the highest in the WNBA right now.
Really enjoying your commentary! You're a great voice for basketball.
I think people shouldn’t give up on Caitlin scoring at a high level. She was playing on dead legs. She’s been ballin for a year straight. Look for improved scoring in the second half of the season
Great video!
Great video breaking done Caitlin Clark’s Amazing Assists!!!
"Nobody has ever had 19 assists in a game before Caitlin Clark."
I think we still might see 20+ from her this season. She'd have had it against the Wings if someone on the team other than Boston could catch and finish reliably.
See...even defenders are mesmerized by CC'S ball handling and for a moment forget what to do on defense.
Excellent video work and presentation, thanks for the great analysis. Clark's passes succeed because of her speed, quickness and stamina. She can literally wear down the defense. When she has players of the same speed quickness and stamina, WATCH OUT! She hasn't had them yet. She needs players around her that can run at full speed when they are on the court. Her team needs fresh reserves, bench players who will run. She needs a Paul Westhead for a coach.
I love your channel .I truly think it will grow.
I love to see the ENTIRE defense collapse on CC when she's in the paint. They're then playing 5-on-1 ball!! Never saw that before.
Excellent points
Your play analysis is great. Maybe focus on some of the young players' plays. Say, Reese, Jackson, Bueckers, Brink, etc and what makes them stand out.
Thanks for a dose of CC to help make it through the Olympic shut down. Albeit, I get grouchy when AB gets dissed ;-)
I agree but I still think her 3 point shot will return
I think her legs are gone bro
Once she had a break she will score more
That's the difference that will make her not just the best play maker but the best player
You think Diana T career will be better than CCs 😂
First time I have thought wtf are you in about bro 😂
I almost always agree with you but that whole bit was weak bro ✌️
Work on that bounce pass to Reece too. Not just a straight bounce but a bounce around the D.
Great job, Coach Carter!
Idk about the Fever coach but CC teammates should study this game and understand how to play effectively with CC.
If they can do that and learn how to help CC create space to shoot the 3 more effectively, it’s over for the rest of the league.
And have you seen her run past Sabby I for her own bucket ?
USA plays Germany at 3pm
Eastern standard time Tuesday today on FS1 for the USA Showcase Game.
Satou Sabally will be able to write her own ticket 2025. So hit up her socials and encourage her to sign with Fever.
“Transcendent“. ???
Go ahead on young man. Great presentation
Great playmaking by Clark combined with great playing by her receivers, because they are among the best in the league. To score an assist, your receiver has to get open and has to finish. These women could do both. Arike repeatedly sank 3's while covered tightly, sometimes double and triple coverage. Reese was only slightly open on her reception, with two players on her when she shot, but she was so quick off the wood and so high that she beat them both. These kind of players don't just fall off the coconut tree every day. Fever has to find some, in the draft, overseas, or among players other teams are willing to give up. Sparks let Ogwumike go because they knew they were getting two quality prospect front court players in the draft and had picked up another very good one because her team got mad at her for getting pregnant right after signing a big contract extension, so they thought they could spare Ogwumike. She is also the head of the players' union and a Stanford honors grad, so she is probably something of a clubhouse lawyer. She has only a one year contract with the Storm, is 34, and is paid $204,500, so she might be available on the open market if Fever wants that package. (Bet the Sparks would love to have her back now that Brink is out for the season.)
Don't give up on Clark's shooting too soon. She is shooting mediocrely right now, not putting up percentages you want in someone taking 15 shots a game, but that is due to a major weakness that she had in college too -- she can't sink her jumper reliably over coverage, unlike Arike. She scored at Iowa by getting beyond the range that tight college zones cover, so she was shooting wide open all the time. That isn't going to happen in the W because unlike NCAA the average player is fast enough, athletic enough, and quick enough so they can cover all the way to the logo without creating serious coverage gaps. But like you said, Arike must practice with someone sticking her hand in her face while she shoots. Clark can learn that too. And she has at least a four inch height advantage over Arike, plus longer arms.
BTW, anyone who watched Big 10 women's ball knew Clark was a crazy good passer. It just didn't cause the excitement among more naive fans that her long-bomb 3's did. Everyone also knew she had problems with turnovers, too, but that got ignored also, despite the fact that her turnovers probably cost Iowa the 2023 championship game.
IMO, the best news for Clark in the All-Star game was her 5 to 1 assists to turnovers ratio. Every team in the world would love a point who can drop 10 assists (or 14, prorated for 35 minutes of play) with only 2 giveaways. Does this mean she learned something, or is it better receivers as above, or is it a fluke? We'll see in August.
Clark plays a lot, full speed, that sometimes she has to adjust and wait for the rest of the team to catch up.
and sometimes, like that last game with the Wings, they just don't catch up. she can't do it alone: you need teammates around you to be a playmaker.
@@outsidethegarden they need better players to play around Boston and Clark. They have talented players, but they need players who works well with those two. No one wins championships on their own in a team sports. Jordan didn’t start winning championships until the Bulls started building around him and later with him and Pippen.
Except in this game, where Arike, Reese, Ogwumike and others regularly beat her down the court to set up for passes.
@@PatrickSchoenfelder yes. Clark adjustments is with the rest of the Fever players.
@@outsidethegarden There are some plays, for example the last turnover against the Wings, where the others are supposed to lag behind to set up for threes or drives after CC draws the defense. On that play, where Fever needed a three, Mitchell was wide open on the right and Boston wide open on the left, both at the 3-point line, but CC went about two dribbles too far and got caught in a 4-player trap and stripped of the ball. However, there are a lot of other plays where some of the Fever are not coming up as fast as they should, as fast as Arike, Reese, and others did in the All-Star game. At that game, the mike caught CC telling Reese, with the USA shot still in the air, to turn and run for the other end. Reese responded by jetting down well ahead of Clark and was in perfect position for Clark's very sharp assist.
Great analysis, thank you. Do you think the increased defensive pressure is why her shooting was off?
seems doubtful -- she's been under increased defensive pressure for the past two and a half years. it did get worse in the W, but she was handling it, not shooting as often but still accurately. she's said she's just tired.
@@outsidethegarden Her shooting percentages have stayed pretty close to the same throughout the season, with individual games better or worse, All-Star being worse. The big difference between NCAA CC and WNBA CC is that in the W she plays every game against defenders who are better than all but the very best two or three she saw in college, and the defensive perimeter extends much farther from the paint, leaving her many fewer undefended long 3's. But I do think she looks tired, especially compared with the beginning of the NCAA season last fall. I also think that her "iceman" demeanor conceals a lot more inner turmoil than she lets anyone see, as her moment of fury in the last seconds of the Wings game showed. I think Caitlin expects even more of herself than even the worst Caitlin crazy, and some of her problems are bothering her a lot. Some no-pressure me time on the break could help as much as the actual rest.
Interestingly, when for a short stretch Clark started shooting less with more careful shot selection, she upped her shooting percentage and was still scoring about the same. However, her coach then publicly stated that she needed to take more shots, and she did, once again bouncing her percentages back down. I think that was a questionable decision, but I can think of two possible reasons to do that: 1.) Clark shooting and missing still draws defensive players away from other Fever shooters. 2.) The belief that if she keeps shooting at a high rate someday in the future some of the shots now rattling out will start dropping, and her scoring will increase, perhaps by a lot.
@@PatrickSchoenfelder agree with all this. I like the point (no idea how true it is, in general or for CC) that when you're in a slump, you need to keep shooting. and the related point, that even her fans don't seem to get, that in order to improve her assists, and get her teammates used to expecting them and dealing with them, she needs to take more risky or even crazy chances with her passing. to me, that was part of what she was doing in the All-Star game, was enjoying being able to make ambitious passes because she was passing to top-notch players.
I also think she's under enormous internal and external stress, going from Iowa to a team that's not used to her passes, and even more so to a coach who doesn't support CC's style, or coaches the team in using her skills effectively. so she's having to do the work herself, to get them to play with her: starting with AB, and then building on that to work with others, KM and LH and KLS. meanwhile, Sides is giving her directions that hobble her play, or outright lose the game; and CC is having to learn how far she can disagree, and how far she has to just let Sides either figure it out or not. and meanwhile, lose games. and CC has said, she really hates losing.
CC will average 25 points per game in 2025, her logo threes will return and she will be in the talk for MVP all season long, and set a lot more WNBA records.
She’ll definitely be the GOAT of making the WNBA some $$$
funny how that doesn't seem to buy respect from anyone but fans and other players. the ones who benefit from the money she brings in act like they're doing her a favor.
@@outsidethegarden Yea, I don’t think the WNBA is known for having the best top level leadership
I’m not going to lie - the hatred and vitriol toward CC online after the All Star game was absolutely demoralizing. It’s obvious that most donor understand the background skill of playmaking and setting up teammates.
she has played basketball for a year straight. When she gets her legs back after a month off, I bet the 3s come storming back too.
That last play to Reese was actually almost blocked by Aja…. If she didn’t bounce pass, but chest pass, Reese would have been one tiny step slower and maybe get blocked
Great content ❤
Magic johnson Steph curry mold into one,that's CC22
Don’t exaggerate. Caitlin wasn’t called a bust.
kerr had to replace mark jackson to unlock gsw full potential. fever would be wise to do the same
just like a star quarterback, DIMES.
Steph almost got traded because he was not that impressive in his rookie year. Then he became the greatest shooter of all time. CC is already breaking records NOW.
She reminds me of a female Magic, especially lately since she backed off on making her own shots.
She is genius.
Finally someone else understands that SHE IS THE BEST PLAYMAKER IN THE WORLD not the best 3 point shooter
Are you gonna coach one day ?
If CC22 switched teams TEAM USA wouldve been blown out AllStars (wrt Arike crazy cook!)
As Expected Convos posted - want to see!
Nice work
Not Olympic ready? Only leads the league in assists & responsible for 60+% of Fever scoring.
Clark scoring could be down cause "hitting the rookie wall" after a long college season. Pace in transition game doesn't seem affected d. Let's see if the "logo 3" returns after the break.
Baby goat!!
I think she can be the goat she just needs to be more comfortable on creating her space and shoots
Yeah your right but there is still a major problem. Clown 🤡 Coach Side's won't play them like this.
Caitlin 🪡Clark
It shouldn't be that hard to guard Cailtin since she's not making her shot. It's bad coaching by opposing teams.
Thanks!
