Caitlin Clark's Fever are the WORST Team I have Ever Seen... In this video we are going to be talking about Caitlin Clark, the number 1 pick in the WNBA draft and how she is hated by WNBA players. Caitlin Clark was drafted number 1 by the indiana fever after being one of the greatest college basketball players of all time. WNBA players like A'Ja Wilson, Diana Taurasi, Breanna Stewart and Sue bird are not fans of the number 1 pick.

They definitely don't fit, but trading Clark shouldn't even be an option
The Fever need ELIZABETH KITLEY🙂 Unfortunately...Kitley was drafted by a different team. Kitley is like recovering from an ACL injury
...the Fever could sure use Paige Bueckers also❤
nah, its the coach. no system, no plays, just accidental bashketball
Good term accidental basketball.
They should get rid of the Coaching staff, trade Boston and pick up Steulke as a free agent!!!! Oh and BEG Lisa Bluder to Coach this team!
Bluder should be main priority if she’s available
Yes, beg LB and make her a $ offer she can't refuse (they can afford it with all the $ CC is bringing in).
Stulke is just sophomore
She won’t be available for 2 years
@@Giganticonion
If they hire Bluder it will look like a plot by Clark, family and agents
Would be really bad for Clark all the crap she would have to take
@@brettgoucher8783 I agree, I still think it’d be good for viewership though, and I also honestly believe she is a far better coach than sides
Well you trade the team and build around Clark....duh
Easier said than done. Hardly any player wants to go to Indiana, and their Coach hasn't shown she's capable of leading any team in the WNBA to a winning record.
has to be Boston because there’s no way the Indiana fever is trading Clark who’s selling out their home stadium every single game
But will it continue with all the losses? By next year it can all go away
@@eddievlifeYou're exactly right. The "Clark Effect" has an expiration date. If she continues to lose, the fans will lose interest.
I have a feeling you just put more thought into the challenges this team faces than either the coach or the GM have. Until they have good leadership, it doesn't matter what they do. I doubt this current leadership group has the intelligence or vision or guts to make a big move and move either of these players on their own. However, changes may be forced upon them if the product continues to stink, despite the talent and potential that exists there. The worst thing that could happen is to just get stuck in mediocrity and underperformance, but the pressure to do something may become too great for that to happen if the team can't progress. One question I have is: Is Boston really not capable of playing a more up-tempo game? I wonder if she was given a trainer and was willing and was pushed hard, if she could significantly increase her athleticism. I wonder if she has just coasted up until now on her size? Yeah, but it's a mess right now, and someone is going to have to figure out how to build a complimentary roster there, and I don't really see that happening with the current coach and management.
Caitlin “SHOWTIME” Clark
This Boston dame isn't that good. Clark is the best player on the team easily, they just have to utilize her well. Their coach is trash and it's a trash league.
Boston was an all star last year. The problem is her style doesn't match up with Caitlin's style, and I doubt it ever will. Indiana botched this up big time from ownership, the gm and the coach honestly. If they knew they were going to draft Caitlin Clark, then they should've tried their best to construct the roster around her skillset so she can hit the ground running. Normally in a rookie's first few seasons as a pro, you want to try to put them in the best position to succeed to build their confidence up. Not tear it down because you failed to build towards their strengths.
I honestly feel like the Fever only drafted Clark to make money on her, and they didn't want to be known as the team with the first pick to pass on Caitlin Clark if she proved to be a next generational talent like people touted her to be out of college. if anything, I'm sure Sides and the Fever would've preferred having the second pick in the draft this year so they could've gotten who they really wanted imo.
Apparently they need that slower pace so Sides can keep up with the game.
Ouch!
Ha-ha. Maybe that's why she keeps suggesting the players need to figure it out, because she sure can't.
Indiana fever just need to get rid of the coach and get good players tbh
Spot on. Easier to trade Clark. Iowa style basketball isn’t in the WNBA DNA, let’s be real. Just as it wasn’t in the NCAA before IOWA broke the mold. CC excels being the quarterback to a team consisting of explosive rim runners and competent perimeter shooters. It brings a style play that is exciting to watch, and what brought CC fans to follow CC to the WNBA. Unfortunately, for both CC and her legions of fans, CC is caught in a vortex of old establishment, boring half court b ball. Like watching paint dry in comparison to full court, fast paced transition ball ala Iowa style. Best hope is for CC to be available to an upcoming expansion team willing to build a team around CC. Short of this happening, CC will continue suffering a death by a thousand cuts.
You are so right. Sometimes I think the WNBA looks like the NBA 40 years ago. Dump it down to the bigs (think Moses Malone, Hakeem Olajuwon), because there are not enough shooters and multi-talented forwards to go around. In the NBA now, they look for everyone to shoot, guard multiple positions, etc. If you are not athletic enough and multi-faceted, you don't make it or play only a marginal role. I think Iowa overachieved because, in addition to superstar Clark, they played a style of basketball that teams couldn't keep up with - even teams with more talented overall rosters. I'm worried that Clark may not find the right fit or one that is created for her such that she can fully utilize her talent.
you can still run a half court and make it exciting. the problem is the coach is a moron. all she has to do is watch GS games when they were peak or early 90's basketball where you had a big (Boston in this case) in the paint, defense collapses and the big passes out to an open shooter for a 3. this isn't rocket science. while I agree with the assessment of CC's style. she in that regard is very much Magic Johnson style player with her passing ability to said rim runners. are their trades/free agents/undrafted women id be calling, sure. but between the coach being a moron and their gm suddenly forgetting how a phone/computer works to send out those feelers, they are just going to keep looking awful.
Thank goodness you have a yt channel bc if you ever made decisions as a GM for a sports franchise you'd last a week with your logic. Please list any team that's ever traded a #1 draft pick during the middle of their rookie season. Smh.
😂😂 We talking about trading. You trade your money maker. Just get a different COACH! 🤦🏽♂️
Czinano is the answer. watch her get 18 points in 2023against undefeated SC Staley team with BOSTON AND CARDOZO , running a perfect PnR series , making layups, boxing out, catching passes not fumbling. making passes. Boston looked in that game just like she does this year,-bad.
Trade Boston for Angel Reese. AR and CC on the same team would be a huge draw. Also AR can kick ass and rebound, which no one on the Fever are capable of. Another one would be Cardoso for Boston. Another possibility is to bring in Monika Czinano.
Interesting take. AR and CC would be a killer combo. And it would also shut up all the haters.
Reese couldn't stand being in her shadow.
AR and CC are both athletic and would fit well in terms of physical skills and style of play. However, I wonder if AR would play with Clark. I think she hates her (see the video of her cheering on CC getting blindsided and knocked down hard by her teammate).
Reese hates Clark. That would never work.
How about Cameron Brink?
Simple solution. Let Boston pick 5 players which suit her style. Let Clark pick 5 to suit hers. Let Boston and her 5 play all of Q1. Let Clark and her 5 play all of Q2. Alternate. let Christy coach the Boston squad. Let Clark pick an assistant to coach hers. Everyone happy and it would be a sight to see. 😅
Any truth that Nike offered Grey $1 million to stay injured so Caitlin can take her spot on team USA?
They do have 8 million pairs of little girl shoes to get sold and were counting on Olympic exposure to sell them
@@ghsense2626Nike also has A’JA Wilson. Nike wants Caitlin Clark to help prop up their other women’s basketball players. More television viewers help.
So I googled the wnba trade rules, and you are not allowed to trade a rookie 1 year after they signed. So I guess that's why Boston slowed down this year, cause she knows she can't get traded.
One year or one season? Ansd a year has passed since she started last season/year.
@@robintay1449 yeah, a year has passed so she can't get traded by the rules of the WNBA. You can only release
Dude you make no sense
Caitlin would thrive in NY. the perfect offense for her and if Sloot retires soon she can take her spot
Trade Caitlin to a decent team for three players. Caitlin gets to shine and the Fever can play a more plodding game.
It's funny watching you people really freaking out over a rookie. The girl will be fine give her and her teammates who's ever left after this season some time
No ..... Caitlin Just Leave the WNBA They Don't Like You !!! They don't want YOU !!! Move own ....
Fever ain’t trading her anywhere lol they need a new coach asap. Sides, hell no
@@breezybreeze12 This is what people are missing. Any WNBA player can hold out, not get paid, and play in Europe in the fall and winter. Caitlin would make 4 million a season over there (That is the league max). Long as the games don't run into the WNBA schedule. And the WNBA ratings and attendance would plummet overnight. The Fever would trade her pronto.
@@Oneanddone14 she’s makes millions in endorsements she doesn’t have to go anywhere. The best thing for her legacy is to continue growing this league and being legendary
Sides has already went to Dunn and told her "Caitlin won't shoot long twos" like I asked her to. "So I benched her." Sides has inferred on numerous occasions she does not like Caitlin's shot selection. It's possible to come down to; "Either she goes or I go."
Note to the Fever: When trying to pitch Aliyah Boston to another team, just tell them you're sending them the 2023 Rookie of the Year. Don't tell them her name is Aliyah Boston.
Get Mark Jackson. He was a point guard for the Indiana Pacers and coached Steph Curry.
Nahhh don't do that...they'll say the Fever is cheating...lol😂😂😂
Cc isn't going ANYWHERE dude... Nobody draws in the money she does.
Where ever she goes the Effect is going w/ her!!! 😂😂😂
When Caitlin gets into that weight room in the off season she’s going to come a different animal
A slow style type of play will never be successful in todays game😂.
This only solidifies my opinion that the Fever only drafted Clark to make money off of her, as they didn't even attempt to build the team around her if they knew she was going to get drafted by them. Honestly, I feel like the Indiana Fever should've tried to trade the number one pick to trade down to get a boatload of other picks and maybe another player or two because that would've made more sense from a basketball perspective. Let someone else draft Caitlin, and you can just use the lower picks to get who you really wanted that would've fit the offense that Sides wanted. Granted, they would've gotten ridiculed for it by the media in the short term. But long term? As long as they're winning, people would've gotten over it in time.
By the time they are able to draft players to play with Clark, her contract will be up and she'll be off.
I think the Fever should pick up Monika Czinano, Clark’s former post at Iowa, and trade Boston. Wheeler, Wallace, Smith and Sides can all get let go. Czinano is shooting 60%, w 15ppg, 7 rebounds, great hands, quick in transition and doesn’t dribble. With her backing up Temi, I think they can ball with Hull, Celeste, Temi, Mitchell and CC starting. Hull and Taylor provide defense, too.
Man Czinano would be perfect !
No team will take Clark. Given the animosity toward her among players and coaches, she would be marginalized and iced out of any team play.
You would have to pry caitlin clark out of the fever's cold dead hands.
As I’ve watched Boston looks like she has pretty nice stroke from outside. This being said a pick & pop option might work better to draw the opposing Big away from the hoop, a la Bill Laimbeer. Thus opening up the lane for their 3 slashers (Mitchell, NaLyssa, and Fagbenle) to go hard to the Rim. Add a knock down shooter and things could get interesting. Fever got to move the ball without the dribble.
The fever team is to small. They need to get taller bigger players. They get out rebound. They to small and have no hurt to not protect your player. The need to get bigger asap or trade her asap or get some reinforcement to protect there money maker. Smfh in disgust
It may be a tax write-off for the owner but is the owner stupid enough to trade his cash cow, instead of trading Boston and firing Sides. If he's a billionaire, he's obviously made sound business decisions before and making the correct decision should be obvious.
I think this lineup would work: Clark, Mitchell, Taylor, Smith, Boston/Fagbenle
I would switch out Mitchell for Hull, when Mitchell gets the ball is going to stop. I said Mitchell's perfect role is primary bench scorer. Plus Hull gives a bit more size in the lineup and defense. Her and Taylor might could make a semi passable defense for stretches.
I'd prefer Smith over Boston, but there is no chance that happens, especially since Smith might be Sides least favorite. And probably would be getting playing time if not for the Fabenle injury.
Also floors how a coach who wants plodders can only have 3 bigs when all healthy.
Honestly I hope they just start playing some players with Clark that make sense. They have 38 of their games nationally televised so if she went to another team it’d be harder to watch etc
Free Clark. She doesn’t deserve to wallow in the crap that is a Christie Sides team.
It’s the coach she plays her favorite players and doesn’t play her best defensive player on the team Taylor is known for defense
I think its to early to tell cause there has been glimpses were cc and boston have looked really good together and i think they can work together if they had a reliable coach who was offensive minded. Also they have only played 13 games together so you can't expected there chemistry to be there yet. I think they need to work together in the off-season on the weaknesses in there games so they can build chemistry
I think Clark needs to work on getting inside . It can help with getting Boston the ball . But then again everytime I see Boston , she’s not doing much .
A good coach could design a system to use both of these players. It doesn’t matter what players they put on this team as long as Sides is the coach.
I would trade Boston for Gustofson, she runs the court better and then with Fagbenle coming back, Indiana would have Smith, Fagbenle and Gustofson those three bigs would work better with Clarks speed and ball passing. The only negative is Sides doesn't understand how to coach the fast break game, seeing the only head coaching job she ever had before Indiana was 2 season as a JV high school basketball coach.
CC just need to "Lebron" the situation and start being the GM because this is getting out of hand. the fact that the fever Gm hasn't even bothered to call undrafted Gabby Marshall to see if shed like to play in the W is to me, a fireable offense because Gabby is so much better than the 12th woman on their roster. what they need to be doing is running a pick and pop/ pick and rolls like they did in the 90's for bigs like Ewing and such (Boston filling the role as the big) drawing in the defense and if they collapse, rotate the ball around till it finds CC for 3. this is by no means rocket science. would trading boston help? maybe. im still not sure the coach knows wtf shes doing with a clipboard. i think there needs to be other roster moves made before you even begin to trade either one of them. if I did make a trade, id call the storm and ask for Mueller(I think that's her name, the guard from UConn, so you have a lockdown defender and at least someone familiar to CC's playstyle) because you ain't getting the Aces to trade Martin, not when she was the steal of the draft. I am firmly in the camp this is a management issue, not a player issue at least not entirely.
Get real. they're not going to trade Caitlin Clark.
New coaching staff, run Aaliyah Boston and Clark back one more time with some decent role players and vets
Clark only went to Indiana cuz she don't want to leave home
AB and CC are not working well together. You need run and gun offense with clark. AB can't run and gun. Why did Dunn pick clark??? Dunn must have known this. If Aces got clark that team would be hard to stop. I could see Sky wanting clark. With reese and cardoso underneath. Yes, rebuild around clark or trade her.
The easiest thing to actually do is nothing
Do you think Boston is still upset that Iowa beat them 2 seasons ago when SC was undefeated?
HA She played so bad in that game , like she is now. Also Cardozo was on that team too and Czinano had 18 points and excellent PnR
They need to fire sides and try to make Clark's former coach from the Hawkeyes come out of retirement
Trade Boston , bring Nano and Angel M do not for get Lisa B
I have all my Fever #22 gear... Caitlin can't leave the team! 😂
I'd be ok with Boston leaving, but who I REALLY would like to see go is that useless coach.
They need a couple bigs who can run the break
Fire coach Sides and give this another chance.
❤if Boston got in shape, starting dominating on the glass and paint her game would work with anyone!😱💚🍀
Boston has been a huge disappointment she looks too slow to be a real factor moving forward. She must be much heavier or something in last year because she was rookie of the year and before that she was player of the year in college actually beating out CC3 because Boston was on an undefeated South Carolina team. Clark could have won player of the year all 4 years in college.
But we won't really know if Clark and Boston can't play together until next season and a new coaching staff and a few new teammates at the very least.
They need another 3 point Is specialist or 2 on that team to open things up for the inside. Clark just does not get great looks because she has double teams all the time. Put a real shooter like Connecticut's paige in the back court with her it's a whole different team. Or even Kate Martin a great open shooter and the dummy fever should have drafted her.
CC stated she liked being closer to home and in the same town as her boyfriend.
Do you truly believe it's an option for Indiana to trade away Clark?
lol dude gone mad time to find another Clark channel
If I could trade to pick up JuJu in 2026 draft she'd be traded in a flash!
If I could Paige and another first round pick in 2025....she'd be traded
For a normal franchise, no. For a franchise that's just a tax write off for their owner, maybe
Trade CC and lose all your money.
Stop with the click bait , You know CC cant be traded she is the cash cow lol
Those teams would trade anyone for CC in a heart beat.
We need a new woman's basketball league that understand the value of Caitlin Clark
I love your videos and content but if the owner sad this team is a tax right off then you’re giving this league way too much credit buddy.
it complicated but let me say this ....Aliyah game and size is the reason why CC's game is not being exposed even more in my opinion...yes a quicker big can benefit from CC passes...but a quicker big also allows the opposing teams to run quicker/condensed lineups which pretty much will allow them to switch more easily when CC calls for a pick or tries to lose her defender (because that usually how CC scores she has to lose her defender she doesn't go through them) ....the suns exposed this Brionna jones and AT is shorter but strong enough to keep up with Aliyah but can at times can switch just enough for her teammates to catch back up to CC or to even switch onto the third option so CC can't take advantage of her ...then you also have DJ, TY and Bonner strong enough and quick enough to keep up with anyone outside of Aliyah....like if you want to trade Aliyah fine there alot of teams that will happily take her...but i don't know if you literally can get the player that will benefit CC type of game as AT is that player and she not leaving the suns (well i hope she doesn't) and the wnba so versatile that can match players in that quick switch offense that CC benefits from in the long run at the very least....in my opinion CC has to learn how to play team ball both on and off the court...but she is one of those players that can prove me wrong...but she hasn't
Here's hoping they trade Clark.
If I was the owner I would call coach K and give him whatever he wants, he said he wished he could coach Caitlin. Make Lisa Bluder assistant
LOL...the fact that you think trading Catlin Clark is even an option is funny. Ya let's trade the one player that is making us money and is the best player on our team. It's weird to even say it or more likely it's click bate.
I don't think Boston or Clark are tradable due to the wnba rules
They haven’t fired Sides yet?
Put Clark on the Lynx. She loved them growing up.
Clark, McBride & Collier wins it all
@@MickTalksHoopswho they giving up? Lynx aren’t keeping McBride and collier. Fever are gonna want at least McBride and something else.
Boston lead feet no hands.
It’s not Boston or Clark the rest of the team is built terrible. I mean seriously, Wallace, Wheeler would not start for any other team. We have no shooters to loosen up defenses
Lexi hull and Celeste Taylor fill that role perfectly but the coach is blind
Yes, they'll continue to double team and overplay Clark on defense as long as she doesn't have teammates who can make them pay for that strategy.
@@Giganticonion yeah, and also their 2 best perimeter defenders which might be an huger weakness for this team.
@@DemonKingBadger great point
@@Giganticonion yep
I would say Clark she has a lot of turnovers
well, thats due to multiple factors. better defenders, teammates who have absolutely no idea how to catch a pass, and horrible play design that they are running. is there some bad decision-making on her part, yes. but truthfully its all those other factors that contribute to her making a bad pass decision.
@@rorybisson756 teammates who have no idea, that you can't stand there dumbfounded when your mate is double teamed.
Aliyah Boston mentioned it in the interview that she couldn't catch the ball because Caitlin was a faster pace. Caitlin's ex Iowa teammates Monika Czinano and Hannah Stuelke could run and catch a pass. The Fever teammates are still struggling to catch a pass.
@@TheODLawson23 absolutely spot on
