Rebounds she is 1st among all guards in rebounds and blocks. Clark has been dealing with a ruptured ear drum since game 3 and off and on Migraines all season. It takes 2-3 month for a ruptured ear drum to fully heal in normal conditions, but she’s got crowd noise and multiple hits to head since then. You can see her almost every game putting her finger in her ear and wiggling like do if it has water in it. That can affect your equilibrium and range shooting. Hopefully it can finish healing during break and it will improve her 3 point shot.
Caitlin Clark introduced me to the league, now I am also learning more about the other talented players. Players around the league should be more appreciative of her presense and choosing to build the league.
@@markdsm-5157 All stats are calculated the same. Stats are uniformly calculated. Caitlin is just an amazing player who is just beginning to master the league the way she mastered the college league. Before too long she will be acknowledged as the most prolific point getter in women's basketball history without doubt.
Considering the #1 leader of assist was a PF yeah okay ... its not much to say when a PF not PG was the #1 leader in assist. However if you match her turnover ratio with assist she not top 5. Think about it this way for every turnover she make per game subtract the assist. So she lead in assist and turnovers, yeah that part, she has more turnovers than any NBA / WNBA rookie in history.
There are reasons why Points and Assists are considered the hardest and least common double-double for a player to make and are considered the most difficult for a Guard. (See WNBA STATS for the last 27 Years ) As an FYI Sue Bird never had three consecutive games with a double-double measured by points and assists. As an FYI Clark sets the Rookie record for assists in a Qtr at Seven As an FYI Clark in Just 23 games breaks the 27-year-old Season record by recording her 8th DBL DBL Pts & Ast, DBL DBL Pts & Reb As an FYI I might as well throw this in as well, The league has seen just 35 triple-doubles in its 27 seasons, and currently, just four in its 28th season and Clark has one and could have had a second if Sides had not benched her.. As an FYI, Sue Bird (Point guard) never had three consecutive games with a double-double measured by points and assists. Just another FYI, Clark had Three and Four consecutive double-doubles measured by points and assists. Was that not a record as a Rookie and as a Player? Points and Assists are considered the hardest and least common double-double for a player to make and are considered the most difficult for a Guard. ( See the last 27 years of Stats (Guards) for Pts& Ast in a season Points and Rebounds are considered the most common and easy combination of a double-double for a forward. (See Reese) In 2017, Courtney Vandersloot's (Guard) record of consecutive games with a double-double was measured by points and assists in six games. Until 2024 that is, as Clark is now tied with Courtney Vanderslootat at # 2 with Four consecutive double-doubles measured by points and assists over a four-game stretch - ESPN somehow missed this. Correction Clark is no longer tied for #2, tonight's double-doubles measured by points and assists give Clark five consecutive games of DBL DBL PTS & AST
You were asking about her averages among guards….she is 1st in assists, 2nd in rebounds, 2nd in blocks, 7 or 8th in steals, 9th in points. Pretty damn impressive for a rookie.
For WNBA guards, CC is: First in assists Second in rebounds Sixth in steals Second in blocks Second in free throw percent among those guards who average more than four attempts per game. Third in minutes played Ninth in points
Great break down ❤️Live Mic❤️. It’s quality men like you, is the reason I do not have to watch Lame Stream Media ESPN. Thank you brother, you are the best of the best.
Don't forget that Caitlin has played her 24th game as a pro and has already played 30 - 40 games in college this year so she has roughly 64 games under her belt and will have almost 80 games when her season ends. Granted she had time off between her college games and her pro games, but she has never played at this level for almost as many games as the men play and will never have to again until the WNBA gets a big enough following and close to breaking even before they will have enough teams and play enough games to have an 82 game season like the NBA. Once she has a full off season to rest and practice with her Indiana team mates she will perform even better next season.
A lot of people watching box scores, I've been watching games. There is no other guard in the league who is as exciting to watch and who affects defenses more and who tries to get their teammates involved as much as CC22.
She's doing all that in spite of the ultra rugged defense against her, some of her own teammates against her, and perhaps the one the most against her is her coach.
It should also be noted that Caitlin went straight from college to the pros with no rest. That should be considered. I believe that next year will be interesting.
Shooting percentage doesn't matter as much as points per attempt. She's at 1.5 points per attempt over the last 15 games! Plum 1.2, Ionescu 1.1, Copper 1.3, Ogunbowale 1.1. Etc, etc. Eighth in steals over the last 15 games. With everything considered, points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals.. She may be the best PG in the league right now. Turnovers? Look how much time she has the ball in her hands! How can Team USA NOT have her on the team? She may deserve to be the starter at PG on that team.
Re: turnovers. It's the one lone repeated knock everyone uses against CC. Well Magic, Steph, LBJ, Nash, and others have led the NBA in turnovers as well and they turned out okay. If people are going to just point out turnovers and forget about all of CC's positives, they're just haters.
Who decides what percentage is more important? YOU? Team USA does not WANT or NEED CC on the team. Her inclusion or exclusion will not affect their chance to win the gold medal because despite what you HIGHLY DELUSIONAL CC fans believe, the team that is assembled consists of the creme de la creme of the WNBA and indeed THE WORLD. The team's SOLE AIM is to win the gold medal at the most prestigious tournament in the world, not become a side-show in a CC GROUPIE FANS' production.
@@aliciamcdonald7105 creme de la creme? Bob griner? Do you ever see how much he stands around doing nothing? Let's not forget his international affairs 😅
@@aliciamcdonald7105 Sure, USA pretty much has a lock on Gold, but who's going to watch or give a damn without CC? She's proven over and over again that her presence fills arenas and increases viewership.
My last post was too long to put this in, but with the media, all going DEI over the Liberty putting Reese under pressure in the last game, the pressure that ended manufactured Stacked and Padded Reese Dbl Dbl's run. To the DEI media, here is just a small reminder, Clark has been going through this pressure coverage, full-court press, half-court press, double-teamed, tripled-teamed, a lot of very hard basketball Plays and has been doing so for 25 games and still has set how many or tied how my Rookie and League records.
Agree with everything you said! Also, MVP is not in the conversation but ROTY for sure! Imagine if she was on a team with better players and a coach who actually helps her succeed! She would be balling out!!!
I'm an old dude(50), watched when the W started. I stopped when Diana Taurasi chose to seat out a couple of years & only play in Russia over lack of pay. I've totally enjoyed watching Caitlin play, she's my ROTY. She does need to stop gambling on steals & her foot work on defense is borderline. She does however have great instincts on recovery, her blocks come from it. I'll be honest if she had a better coaching staff, she might fix those things easily & in no time cause she's young. I really hope the Fever head office figures it out. Boston is another one who could totally benefit from foot word/defensive stands & correct roaming not just loosing an assignment. CC will get better, Boston will finally stop feeling like 2nd string, only thing they need is a rebounder. Dare I say it, Fever should ask the Sky for "Kamila Cordisa" since the Sky don't care about her development.
@@felixchavarria8824 I’ve been floating a Kamilla for Nalyssa trade all week. Pretty much every Fever fan has been in favor, 2 Sky fans were in favor, another 2 accused me of trying to sabotage their team for even suggesting it lol. I mean I did ask them to chime in, but I proposed a simple trade that I though helped both teams and they basically called me a race traitor 😅. Be warned when mentioning that Kamilla trade, it gets rough out here. I started in 97 too, for me it was seeing Houston have their run then LA won back to back, then Detroit and all these one- off champions started winning and passing the chip around every year - I would tap in for only the biggest games. Stayed fully into the women’s NCAA though, it was Arike that got me back watching the WNBA faithfully, after her Notre Dame run (she’s a home town hooper so the whole city was watching). Now the Aces and their back to back dominance had fans popping up, being more loud about their fandom, and then this season just took it over the top
since june 1st shes top 5 in ALL categories for GUARDS except PPG and she is leading the league by a long shots in assists during that period with 8.4 per game.

It's not just about the stats. Caitlin's power of attraction has brought tremendous attention to the league. I hadn't followed it or the NBA since the Charlotte Sting died off. I accidentally tuned into an Iowa game early in the tournament last Spring, and was hooked. What Caitlin's transition to the WNBA did was to carry many of those fans over to the pros to watch her games. Her style of play is making an impact, and should help other teams rethink how they balance a squad and keep defenses guessing. Once the Fever start hitting a better balance of shots from players other than Clark and Boston, they will be a much stronger force to reckon with. It will be interesting to see what they come back from break with!
That's been one of the main things hindering their growth : letting franchises fold and their fan bases not transferring over. All of us that got hooked on the Comets' run from day 1 really had no skin in the game once they folded.
Turnovers are her biggest issue currently. Point guards will tend to be higher on that list since they have the ball in their hands a lot more frequently, and the amount of double teams and traps she's dealing with will also effect that, but she needs to be better in that area. As for where she ranks league wide and all wnba teams....take a look at fantasy rankings...she's currently 5...should tell you all you need to know.
You have broken it down in a no nonsense approach. Agree. Her stats could have been higher if the teammates didn’t take so long to see the advantage of working with her. 🏀
Found some stats and this is from ESPN. This is the leader board. Points: CC = 14 AR = 24 Rebounds: AR = 1 CC = 19 Assists: CC = 1 AR = Outside top 50 Blocks: (How can a point guard make more blocks than a forward? ) CC = 14 AR = 35 3 Points Made: CC = 4 AR = Outside top 50 Steals: CC = 9 AR = 10 Apart from rebounds (which is 30% her own miss?), CC leads on other stats. Numbers don't lie.
I studied the stats too after everyone trying to hype up both AR & CC. I found that through 23 games 18% of AR's rebounds are her missed layup or blocked shots, that's the actual honest number. She also misses 2.8 layups per game. Not good. She's an excellent rebounder though, especially offensively picking up her teammates missed shots as well.
Caitlin Clark is 1# in rebounds and blocks for all guards. Easy way I explain it to other people she is top 20 in all stats. No other rookie is top 20 in 2 stats. All other rookies are role players on their team and had been RoY any other years. Clark doesn't have Rookie stats she has season vet stats.
She can be MVP. The MVP winners have been from teams ranked 7th or 8th in the seedings before--some of them have actually been more as the second/ third best team than the first rated team. They even had a player that missed the playoffs (Lauren Jackson) somehow. So, the reality is that if Candace Parker can be MVP taking a team to like the 6th seed after they tanked the year before (they were a WCF team for three straight years prior to the tanking season) and even though her numbers were inflated, she's able to get MVP despite the other players having better stats than her--and better team record. NYL - they don't have a MVP candidate--they have three players that cancel each other. LVA - They have Aja, but again the narrative is weaker (especially if Aja loses the last two games vs the Fever next two months as it isn't how you start the season, but how you finish) for her since she's actually been losing without Gray in the lineup--regardless of her numbers. Her team is worse--and could lose like 10 games, which is a lot more than last year. They needed a lot of roster moves to even go this far, and so her value is diminished. SEA - super team without a real MVP player on their roster. The Detroit Shock had the best record but no MVP candidate that year and didn't win it because they all had identical stats. This SEA team is basically the same as that team--just won't be in MVP conversations. MIN - Collier might be taken out of the conversation if she misses more games. PHX - This team will likely not have a better record than IND will. They've lost too many games and will have a harder schedule. CON - The team has no main piece that puts them ahead--so Thomas has no real talking point against Clark as the "MVP" candidate since her team is not the top team or anything right now. She has one more game vs Clark and if Clark wins that one, then she'll lose all her MVP chances. Clark will likely end the season with one of those special stat lines: 19+ PPG - 6 or 7 RPG - 8 to 9.5 APG - 1.5+ SPG - 1.0+ BPG and this will have her rank in the top 20 of all stats for the season. She will have improved her team's record by nearly 10 wins higher than last year (provided they win at the same rate.) and will likely be a dominant 21+ win team that manages to get around the top 5 rankings. They are only good because of her being on the team to propel them as a player. As a guard, she literally ranks: 7th in PPG, 1st in RPG, 1st in APG, 6th in SPG, 1st in BPG. which she could easily become a top 5 in scoring PPG for a guard and maybe a top 5 in SPG since the players ahead of her are some she can reach. She would be the best guard in the league ranking nearly top 5 on all categories. Aja can't compare to that dominance for her stat lines since she's just leading favorably in advanced stats with basically an all-Olympic team around her. She's probably the best player in the world, but not the most valuable to her team--as I am sure they could easily win games without her. Clark is definitely in the running for that MVP and ought to be ranked around the top 5 when she gets to the 18 win range shortly.
@@Vadimony you can make the case for it, but she can’t win it. They’ve talked all season about A’ja being robbed last year, it’s as much a narrative-based award as it a statistical one. They won’t even concede the ROTY race when we know the deal, seeing A’ja’s July stats plus what their record will be - and they’ll use that rough start in her favor and say she “held the team together” while they struggled with health/winning. CC getting some votes will be a win for me, that sets her up to for next season but it would take a 10-4 record after the break and the Aces going on a serious slide for CC to get the MVP fr
@@micdewitt It doesn't matter. Value is value. Aja can argue whatever she wants with the loaded roster she has. The voters aren't pro-WNBA fandoms with racism deeply seethed in their minds for that award. MVP is a bigger deal and those voters are going to look at it from a different lens: a lot of it has to do with the value of expectations. We seen Aja's numbers--with her team. That's an improvement of maybe 4 to 5 points (when the season ends) and like the same rebounds + DPOY status. If her value was so important, then why haven't the advanced numbers shown that as well--as we all love to use advanced stats that try to depict this value. Aja's stats show that she's worse than Clark in several values involving certain clutch stats. If she's not the big piece of the 4-time loaded HOF team, then she's not winning over Clark if she happens to win both Aces games next month to tie the series. If Clark goes on a major winning streak with her team, then the conversation is probably over. The only thing Aja has currently is wins--if Clark can close the gap by going on a run and beating Aja twice, then there's no argument for Aja. We've always looked at head to head games and most of us are looking at the most recent meetings--if Clark out preforms Aja, then it will be a wrap. First meeting: Clark was on a back to back vs a well-rested Aces team at home. Despite that, they lead the Aces going into halftime and then got blown out due to fatigue after the half. Second meeting: Clark and team were in the game up to the third but then had an epic collapse--though they were in the middle of a west coast travel week and playing on fumes. If the last two games go towards Fever favor, then you'll have a hard time to argue against Clark's success and the Fever finally turning around their sorrowful years prior to her being added to it. Clark has a few undrafted players. A terrible excuse for a coach. Teammates that struggled and haven't even had an ounce of consistency. A bunch of players that are ever disappointing. The worst franchise ever, lately. And probably a million other issues that make her situation better: injuries, lineup changes, etc. However, despite all that, Clark is making her team better and getting wins and overcoming the hardest schedule + the weak roster and the awful coaching to bring the team a crazy amount of wins (if they end up with 20+ wins) that they have never seen before. Aja is probably finishing a 10 loss record. That's not good for a MVP to fail to perform the same excellence just because you have a player injured--even though you kept adding new players to help the team over and over throughout the season. Aja's numbers aren't even all that impressive as a whole on most occasions. You just see that the Aces let her pad up her fluff numbers time and time again. Once it gets to that point, I don't really see it as an argument against Clark--imagine taking a team from awful to a near top seed in one year without a training camp vs the hardest schedule. That's MVP performance and importance + records broken and crazy good stat lines. It won't be a pushover for Aja if she's not able to seal the deal.
This is the Aces with Jackie Young, Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum after all. They're Olympic level talent. You've got no real excuse why you're losing games to LA or something with that group: this is the most loaded team in the league. They have no excuse to lose at all. They lost like 6 games all of last year. If they lose 4 more despite Aja having her best season then it just shows her values are far lower than they make her out to be. Every other team seems able to make do and get some wins somehow. They don't have a fluff schedule + a loaded roster like that to rely on.
@@Vadimony It definitely matters. Maybe not to you or me, but we aren’t voting. Those same broadcasters and media members that are telling us A’ja is the runaway MVP and can’t commit to CC being ROTY yet, are the ones that have the votes. I won’t even stress my brain HOPING that they parse through all of the numbers and see things completely objectively and analytically. They’re going to see raw numbers, see that A’ja is also a DPOY candidate, look at the standings, and give it A’ja. -850 odds to win (AW) while Clark is at +10,000. The Fever have better odds of beating the Aces for the chip (+8000 vs the Aces at +140)
@@micdewitt I know currently it is completely for Aja. Since her stats and win totals match and the only player that could have been argued ahead of her has missed the last 5 games (Collier) and hurt her own odds. People picked Collier over Aja. Aja has to play: NYL, LAS, Lynx (twice) when they come back from the break. Aja has: CHI tonight. Then CHI twice after the break too. Then they have a PHX, NYL, IND (twice), CON schedule that could have them be on a losing streak to nearly end their month. They then play SEA and DAL (should be a healthy game that ends the season for a disappointing DAL team) that could be like the Wemby vs DEN that cost DEN the number 1 seed type of game for them. There are two Dallas games and 1 Dream game. Every other team that the Aces plays are capable of beating them and they'll probably lose a CHI game simply due to their defensive team and that Carter can explode against them. If the Aces drop 7 of those games, then we can definitely have a strong case for Clark closing the gap--especially at the end of the season when the Aces play those 7 straight against some hard teams (with Fever being two teams in between) and that alone can change the narrative. We've seen this happen all the time in NBA situations where some leading candidate didn't take the back end seriously and lost out on the MVP because another player was scorching hot at the end. Clark has already gone through all her early struggles so all she has to do is give another month similar to this month and she could easily come around winning 10+ games next month. They got CHI, WASH, DAL, LAS, and an ATL game that they could easily win those. That's like 6 games they can win. They then got two LYNX games and two ACES games. If they win those 4, then you can't give Aja much of an advantage anymore. Especially if they can beat the remaining games between Mercury and SEA or whoever else they play. There is a universe where voters would definitely vote against Aja because if she's going on a -6 skid near the end of the season, then let's just admit that MVP is probably questionable towards the promising young rookie that might end the season heating up the wins and record columns.
Rookie of the year should be a slam dunk. Because of all she has brought to the WNBA: sell outs, teams moving to bigger venues due to increased attendance, private jets for away games and increased future salaries - Caitlyn should be MVP as well. That's not a stretch - that's a fact.
As far as Double Doubles this stat needs to be weighted because DDs are different. I.e. Points +OR, DR, and Assist. If your a starting big forward posted under the rim averaging 25 minutes per/game you’d better have at least 10 OR and some DR, dish out some assist and convert most OR to FGs. Until rebounds are weighted it’s easy to pad the stat.
Only guards CC leads the league in rebounds at 145 which 2 ahead of Bonner, but like you said boomer plays the three sometimes the 4. Assists 194 leads the league she has 29 more assists than cloud. 22 blocks leads the league for guards 2 ahead in front of Diggins-Smith. 4th for guards in the league. Leads the league in DD with 8 and 1 TD.
that's what I was telling somebody in person yesterday - if you compare her to her position and where she ranks in the league versus where every other rookie ranks versus their position, not even close!
All of these stats have been with her being double and triple coveraged by every defense the Fever has faced. Once her being off on 3 pointers ends and She finds her groove..watchout!
Her shooting with three points will be improve if her couch can actually couch by providing her with some help and plus an opponents teams keep blitzing and double her every time in half court
If she upped her shooting in general, she would be hands down ROTY. But she has to limit turnovers. Her play reminds me of Josh Giddey -- not a big D person, but clutch 3s.
Listen to this stat. In the last 5 games she's had 109 points and 64 assists, nobody in history has ever matched those stats. If you lower the numbers to 90 points and 50 assists, it's only happened four times in history, three of those four were Caitlin Clark.
that's MVP worthy. If they were a few games over .500 instead of below I would be campaigning but I know they already have A'ja's address on it so I'll save it until game 1 next year.
Reason why she's still "maturing" with some of the scoring stats...3pts, 3pt %, etc., is because of how she's guarded compared to all the others. She's guarded heavier than any other shooter, league-wide...easily. She invokes FEAR, and because of that, the ladies be picking her up way before the half court line. Once she settles in and continues to learn how to punish teams for double-teaming her, all those stats will go THRU THE ROOF.
Curry appeared in 80 games (77 starts) during the 2009-10 season, averaging 17.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.90 steals in 36.2 minutes. His second half of the season vaulted him into the rookie of the year race. (This sounds like his first 40 games were not as good as his 2nd 40)
@@TheProchargedmopar Thanks for the stats! 👍 Hmm, they seem pretty comparable to CC's stats. What about Steph's TOs, which everyone seems to be making a big deal about when it comes to CC?
I wonder how many of these expert players would actually do better than CC if they were treated exactly like she is. If you put 2,3, or 4 players guarding them would the do better, if everyone in the league put a target on you and played you , harassed you like the do CC especially if you were a rookie would you do as well as she is doing. I highly doubt it. Most of the older players who are attacking CC would loose their cool and be ejected if they were played like they play CC.
You missed mentioning that no other player not just guard , has teams centralize their defense against one player .nobody else is posted up 70 ft from the basket. And still she's doing all this .

Rebounds she is 1st among all guards in rebounds and blocks. Clark has been dealing with a ruptured ear drum since game 3 and off and on Migraines all season.

Never thought about that when I was playing had a ear infection and it definitely throws off your outside shoot without a doubt

As an FYI Clark in Just 23 games breaks the 27-year-old Season record by recording her 8th DBL DBL Pts & Ast, DBL DBL Pts & Reb
As an FYI I might as well throw this in as well, The league has seen just 35 triple-doubles in its 27 seasons, and currently, just four in its 28th season and Clark has one and could have had a second if Sides had not benched her..
As an FYI, Sue Bird (Point guard) never had three consecutive games with a double-double measured by points and assists.
Just another FYI, Clark had Three and Four consecutive double-doubles measured by points and assists.
Was that not a record as a Rookie and as a Player?
Points and Assists are considered the hardest and least common double-double for a player to make and are considered the most difficult for a Guard. ( See the last 27 years of Stats (Guards) for Pts& Ast in a season
Points and Rebounds are considered the most common and easy combination of a double-double for a forward. (See Reese)
In 2017, Courtney Vandersloot's (Guard) record of consecutive games with a double-double was measured by points and assists in six games.
Until 2024 that is, as Clark is now tied with Courtney Vanderslootat at # 2 with Four consecutive double-doubles measured by points and assists over a four-game stretch - ESPN somehow missed this.
Correction Clark is no longer tied for #2, tonight's double-doubles measured by points and assists give Clark five consecutive games of DBL DBL PTS & AST
CC is a generational talent, a pure gift from the 🏀 GODZ....She is a LEAN ..MEAN...BASKETBALL MACHINE 😂
"Just don't come with nonsense, alright?" Love it.
You were asking about her averages among guards….she is 1st in assists, 2nd in rebounds, 2nd in blocks, 7 or 8th in steals, 9th in points. Pretty damn impressive for a rookie.
For WNBA guards, CC is:
First in assists
Second in rebounds
Sixth in steals
Second in blocks
Second in free throw percent among those guards who average more than four attempts per game.
Third in minutes played
Ninth in points
Great break down ❤️Live Mic❤️. It’s quality men like you, is the reason I do not have to watch Lame Stream Media ESPN. Thank you brother, you are the best of the best.
Don't forget that Caitlin has played her 24th game as a pro and has already played 30 - 40 games in college this year so she has roughly 64 games under her belt and will have almost 80 games when her season ends. Granted she had time off between her college games and her pro games, but she has never played at this level for almost as many games as the men play and will never have to again until the WNBA gets a big enough following and close to breaking even before they will have enough teams and play enough games to have an 82 game season like the NBA. Once she has a full off season to rest and practice with her Indiana team mates she will perform even better next season.
A lot of people watching box scores, I've been watching games. There is no other guard in the league who is as exciting to watch and who affects defenses more and who tries to get their teammates involved as much as CC22.
Good summary of stats-thanks! Caitlin is balling.
She's doing all that in spite of the ultra rugged defense against her, some of her own teammates against her, and perhaps the one the most against her is her coach.
Yeah itr's amazing how well she's doing playing under the worst coach in the league
It should also be noted that Caitlin went straight from college to the pros with no rest. That should be considered. I believe that next year will be interesting.
Shooting percentage doesn't matter as much as points per attempt. She's at 1.5 points per attempt over the last 15 games! Plum 1.2, Ionescu 1.1, Copper 1.3, Ogunbowale 1.1. Etc, etc. Eighth in steals over the last 15 games. With everything considered, points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals.. She may be the best PG in the league right now. Turnovers? Look how much time she has the ball in her hands! How can Team USA NOT have her on the team? She may deserve to be the starter at PG on that team.
Re: turnovers. It's the one lone repeated knock everyone uses against CC. Well Magic, Steph, LBJ, Nash, and others have led the NBA in turnovers as well and they turned out okay. If people are going to just point out turnovers and forget about all of CC's positives, they're just haters.
Who decides what percentage is more important? YOU? Team USA does not WANT or NEED CC on the team. Her inclusion or exclusion will not affect their chance to win the gold medal because despite what you HIGHLY DELUSIONAL CC fans believe, the team that is assembled consists of the creme de la creme of the WNBA and indeed THE WORLD. The team's SOLE AIM is to win the gold medal at the most prestigious tournament in the world, not become a side-show in a CC GROUPIE FANS' production.
@@aliciamcdonald7105 creme de la creme? Bob griner? Do you ever see how much he stands around doing nothing? Let's not forget his international affairs 😅
@aliciamcdonald7105 wait. Also "most prestigious tournament in the world"? Haha. Ever heard of the World Cup of Soccer? Yet we are delusional! 😅
@@aliciamcdonald7105 Sure, USA pretty much has a lock on Gold, but who's going to watch or give a damn without CC? She's proven over and over again that her presence fills arenas and increases viewership.
My last post was too long to put this in, but with the media, all going DEI over the Liberty putting Reese under pressure in the last game, the pressure that ended manufactured Stacked and Padded Reese Dbl Dbl's run.
To the DEI media, here is just a small reminder, Clark has been going through this pressure coverage, full-court press, half-court press, double-teamed, tripled-teamed, a lot of very hard basketball Plays and has been doing so for 25 games and still has set how many or tied how my Rookie and League records.
We talking about Rookie of The Year Caitlin Clark
Agree with everything you said!
Also, MVP is not in the conversation but ROTY for sure! Imagine if she was on a team with better players and a coach who actually helps her succeed! She would be balling out!!!
Great breakdown on CC’s league stats Subscribed, Like &Comment✅
Congrats on 5k subs in 2 months! Your content is really good, keep up the good work.
Thank you!
I'm an old dude(50), watched when the W started. I stopped when Diana Taurasi chose to seat out a couple of years & only play in Russia over lack of pay. I've totally enjoyed watching Caitlin play, she's my ROTY. She does need to stop gambling on steals & her foot work on defense is borderline. She does however have great instincts on recovery, her blocks come from it. I'll be honest if she had a better coaching staff, she might fix those things easily & in no time cause she's young. I really hope the Fever head office figures it out. Boston is another one who could totally benefit from foot word/defensive stands & correct roaming not just loosing an assignment. CC will get better, Boston will finally stop feeling like 2nd string, only thing they need is a rebounder. Dare I say it, Fever should ask the Sky for "Kamila Cordisa" since the Sky don't care about her development.
@@felixchavarria8824 I’ve been floating a Kamilla for Nalyssa trade all week. Pretty much every Fever fan has been in favor, 2 Sky fans were in favor, another 2 accused me of trying to sabotage their team for even suggesting it lol. I mean I did ask them to chime in, but I proposed a simple trade that I though helped both teams and they basically called me a race traitor 😅. Be warned when mentioning that Kamilla trade, it gets rough out here.
I started in 97 too, for me it was seeing Houston have their run then LA won back to back, then Detroit and all these one- off champions started winning and passing the chip around every year - I would tap in for only the biggest games. Stayed fully into the women’s NCAA though, it was Arike that got me back watching the WNBA faithfully, after her Notre Dame run (she’s a home town hooper so the whole city was watching). Now the Aces and their back to back dominance had fans popping up, being more loud about their fandom, and then this season just took it over the top
the 3pt shooting gonna improve after the olympic break fasho
Gonna take over when it does
Just passed Sue Bird for rookies in assist record 2nd with 194 and record 225
since june 1st shes top 5 in ALL categories for GUARDS except PPG and she is leading the league by a long shots in assists during that period with 8.4 per game.

A while back I wrote that it would be interesting to see how Reese plays in her next Four games without being given space and not being left unattended or not having that special whistle, and what her stats would look like when under pressure.
And it would appear from games one, Two and three (the super Padded Games) - not so good as the Sky drops to 9 14 .391 #8
There is one remaining game at Chicago, on July 16 at LA Aces - it will be interesting to see if all those DBL DBLs that were stacked and Padded or whether it was skill, so far looking like Padded.

The Sky is falling. 😉
It's not just about the stats. Caitlin's power of attraction has brought tremendous attention to the league. I hadn't followed it or the NBA since the Charlotte Sting died off. I accidentally tuned into an Iowa game early in the tournament last Spring, and was hooked. What Caitlin's transition to the WNBA did was to carry many of those fans over to the pros to watch her games. Her style of play is making an impact, and should help other teams rethink how they balance a squad and keep defenses guessing. Once the Fever start hitting a better balance of shots from players other than Clark and Boston, they will be a much stronger force to reckon with. It will be interesting to see what they come back from break with!
That's been one of the main things hindering their growth : letting franchises fold and their fan bases not transferring over. All of us that got hooked on the Comets' run from day 1 really had no skin in the game once they folded.
Turnovers are her biggest issue currently. Point guards will tend to be higher on that list since they have the ball in their hands a lot more frequently, and the amount of double teams and traps she's dealing with will also effect that, but she needs to be better in that area. As for where she ranks league wide and all wnba teams....take a look at fantasy rankings...she's currently 5...should tell you all you need to know.
You have broken it down in a no nonsense approach. Agree. Her stats could have been higher if the teammates didn’t take so long to see the advantage of working with her. 🏀
Found some stats and this is from ESPN. This is the leader board.
Points:
CC = 14
AR = 24
Rebounds:
AR = 1
CC = 19
Assists:
CC = 1
AR = Outside top 50
Blocks: (How can a point guard make more blocks than a forward? )
CC = 14
AR = 35
3 Points Made:
CC = 4
AR = Outside top 50
Steals:
CC = 9
AR = 10
Apart from rebounds (which is 30% her own miss?), CC leads on other stats. Numbers don't lie.
I studied the stats too after everyone trying to hype up both AR & CC. I found that through 23 games 18% of AR's rebounds are her missed layup or blocked shots, that's the actual honest number. She also misses 2.8 layups per game. Not good. She's an excellent rebounder though, especially offensively picking up her teammates missed shots as well.
The question is what team changed from last year period
Not the stats ESPN uses when they had CC 6 th and now 2nd
As a guard she's 7th-PTS, 3rd-3PM, 1st-REB, 1st-AST, 1st-TOV, 4th-STL, 1st-BLK, 1st-FP, 1st-DD2, 1st-TD3
8.4 assists per game since june 1st is wild if you take out the last game its 8.6
Clark getting guarded when she steps off the bus! 😅 Im a new sub. I like your video. And top guards...loyd and copper
Thanks for the sub! And for sure Lyod is in that mix. Top 3 and she's not 3
Caitlin Clark is 1# in rebounds and blocks for all guards. Easy way I explain it to other people she is top 20 in all stats. No other rookie is top 20 in 2 stats. All other rookies are role players on their team and had been RoY any other years.
Clark doesn't have Rookie stats she has season vet stats.
Yup. Im with ya. Fever make top 4 and we can talk mvp, maybe.
She can be MVP.
The MVP winners have been from teams ranked 7th or 8th in the seedings before--some of them have actually been more as the second/ third best team than the first rated team. They even had a player that missed the playoffs (Lauren Jackson) somehow.
So, the reality is that if Candace Parker can be MVP taking a team to like the 6th seed after they tanked the year before (they were a WCF team for three straight years prior to the tanking season) and even though her numbers were inflated, she's able to get MVP despite the other players having better stats than her--and better team record.
NYL - they don't have a MVP candidate--they have three players that cancel each other.
LVA - They have Aja, but again the narrative is weaker (especially if Aja loses the last two games vs the Fever next two months as it isn't how you start the season, but how you finish) for her since she's actually been losing without Gray in the lineup--regardless of her numbers. Her team is worse--and could lose like 10 games, which is a lot more than last year. They needed a lot of roster moves to even go this far, and so her value is diminished.
SEA - super team without a real MVP player on their roster. The Detroit Shock had the best record but no MVP candidate that year and didn't win it because they all had identical stats. This SEA team is basically the same as that team--just won't be in MVP conversations.
MIN - Collier might be taken out of the conversation if she misses more games.
PHX - This team will likely not have a better record than IND will. They've lost too many games and will have a harder schedule.
CON - The team has no main piece that puts them ahead--so Thomas has no real talking point against Clark as the "MVP" candidate since her team is not the top team or anything right now. She has one more game vs Clark and if Clark wins that one, then she'll lose all her MVP chances.
Clark will likely end the season with one of those special stat lines: 19+ PPG - 6 or 7 RPG - 8 to 9.5 APG - 1.5+ SPG - 1.0+ BPG and this will have her rank in the top 20 of all stats for the season. She will have improved her team's record by nearly 10 wins higher than last year (provided they win at the same rate.) and will likely be a dominant 21+ win team that manages to get around the top 5 rankings. They are only good because of her being on the team to propel them as a player. As a guard, she literally ranks: 7th in PPG, 1st in RPG, 1st in APG, 6th in SPG, 1st in BPG. which she could easily become a top 5 in scoring PPG for a guard and maybe a top 5 in SPG since the players ahead of her are some she can reach. She would be the best guard in the league ranking nearly top 5 on all categories. Aja can't compare to that dominance for her stat lines since she's just leading favorably in advanced stats with basically an all-Olympic team around her. She's probably the best player in the world, but not the most valuable to her team--as I am sure they could easily win games without her.
Clark is definitely in the running for that MVP and ought to be ranked around the top 5 when she gets to the 18 win range shortly.
@@Vadimony you can make the case for it, but she can’t win it. They’ve talked all season about A’ja being robbed last year, it’s as much a narrative-based award as it a statistical one. They won’t even concede the ROTY race when we know the deal, seeing A’ja’s July stats plus what their record will be - and they’ll use that rough start in her favor and say she “held the team together” while they struggled with health/winning. CC getting some votes will be a win for me, that sets her up to for next season but it would take a 10-4 record after the break and the Aces going on a serious slide for CC to get the MVP fr
@@micdewitt It doesn't matter. Value is value.
Aja can argue whatever she wants with the loaded roster she has. The voters aren't pro-WNBA fandoms with racism deeply seethed in their minds for that award. MVP is a bigger deal and those voters are going to look at it from a different lens: a lot of it has to do with the value of expectations.
We seen Aja's numbers--with her team. That's an improvement of maybe 4 to 5 points (when the season ends) and like the same rebounds + DPOY status. If her value was so important, then why haven't the advanced numbers shown that as well--as we all love to use advanced stats that try to depict this value. Aja's stats show that she's worse than Clark in several values involving certain clutch stats.
If she's not the big piece of the 4-time loaded HOF team, then she's not winning over Clark if she happens to win both Aces games next month to tie the series. If Clark goes on a major winning streak with her team, then the conversation is probably over.
The only thing Aja has currently is wins--if Clark can close the gap by going on a run and beating Aja twice, then there's no argument for Aja. We've always looked at head to head games and most of us are looking at the most recent meetings--if Clark out preforms Aja, then it will be a wrap.
First meeting: Clark was on a back to back vs a well-rested Aces team at home.
Despite that, they lead the Aces going into halftime and then got blown out due to fatigue after the half.
Second meeting: Clark and team were in the game up to the third but then had an epic collapse--though they were in the middle of a west coast travel week and playing on fumes.
If the last two games go towards Fever favor, then you'll have a hard time to argue against Clark's success and the Fever finally turning around their sorrowful years prior to her being added to it.
Clark has a few undrafted players. A terrible excuse for a coach. Teammates that struggled and haven't even had an ounce of consistency. A bunch of players that are ever disappointing. The worst franchise ever, lately. And probably a million other issues that make her situation better: injuries, lineup changes, etc. However, despite all that, Clark is making her team better and getting wins and overcoming the hardest schedule + the weak roster and the awful coaching to bring the team a crazy amount of wins (if they end up with 20+ wins) that they have never seen before. Aja is probably finishing a 10 loss record. That's not good for a MVP to fail to perform the same excellence just because you have a player injured--even though you kept adding new players to help the team over and over throughout the season. Aja's numbers aren't even all that impressive as a whole on most occasions. You just see that the Aces let her pad up her fluff numbers time and time again.
Once it gets to that point, I don't really see it as an argument against Clark--imagine taking a team from awful to a near top seed in one year without a training camp vs the hardest schedule. That's MVP performance and importance + records broken and crazy good stat lines. It won't be a pushover for Aja if she's not able to seal the deal.
This is the Aces with Jackie Young, Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum after all. They're Olympic level talent. You've got no real excuse why you're losing games to LA or something with that group: this is the most loaded team in the league. They have no excuse to lose at all. They lost like 6 games all of last year.
If they lose 4 more despite Aja having her best season then it just shows her values are far lower than they make her out to be.
Every other team seems able to make do and get some wins somehow. They don't have a fluff schedule + a loaded roster like that to rely on.
@@Vadimony It definitely matters. Maybe not to you or me, but we aren’t voting. Those same broadcasters and media members that are telling us A’ja is the runaway MVP and can’t commit to CC being ROTY yet, are the ones that have the votes. I won’t even stress my brain HOPING that they parse through all of the numbers and see things completely objectively and analytically. They’re going to see raw numbers, see that A’ja is also a DPOY candidate, look at the standings, and give it A’ja. -850 odds to win (AW) while Clark is at +10,000. The Fever have better odds of beating the Aces for the chip (+8000 vs the Aces at +140)
@@micdewitt I know currently it is completely for Aja. Since her stats and win totals match and the only player that could have been argued ahead of her has missed the last 5 games (Collier) and hurt her own odds. People picked Collier over Aja.
Aja has to play: NYL, LAS, Lynx (twice) when they come back from the break.
Aja has: CHI tonight. Then CHI twice after the break too.
Then they have a PHX, NYL, IND (twice), CON schedule that could have them be on a losing streak to nearly end their month. They then play SEA and DAL (should be a healthy game that ends the season for a disappointing DAL team) that could be like the Wemby vs DEN that cost DEN the number 1 seed type of game for them.
There are two Dallas games and 1 Dream game. Every other team that the Aces plays are capable of beating them and they'll probably lose a CHI game simply due to their defensive team and that Carter can explode against them.
If the Aces drop 7 of those games, then we can definitely have a strong case for Clark closing the gap--especially at the end of the season when the Aces play those 7 straight against some hard teams (with Fever being two teams in between) and that alone can change the narrative.
We've seen this happen all the time in NBA situations where some leading candidate didn't take the back end seriously and lost out on the MVP because another player was scorching hot at the end. Clark has already gone through all her early struggles so all she has to do is give another month similar to this month and she could easily come around winning 10+ games next month.
They got CHI, WASH, DAL, LAS, and an ATL game that they could easily win those. That's like 6 games they can win. They then got two LYNX games and two ACES games. If they win those 4, then you can't give Aja much of an advantage anymore. Especially if they can beat the remaining games between Mercury and SEA or whoever else they play.
There is a universe where voters would definitely vote against Aja because if she's going on a -6 skid near the end of the season, then let's just admit that MVP is probably questionable towards the promising young rookie that might end the season heating up the wins and record columns.
As one CC fan to another, Thanks. I'm surprised by some of the facts you shared.
And lets remember she is a rookie is double teamed and full court blitz all game long and has a coach who has no idea how to play her.
She's a powerhouse. Energy in person. Stats are stats, just WATCH her.
Rookie of the year should be a slam dunk. Because of all she has brought to the WNBA: sell outs, teams moving to bigger venues due to increased attendance, private jets for away games and increased future salaries - Caitlyn should be MVP as well. That's not a stretch - that's a fact.
Please do a comparison with along side angel reese
She is also top tier regarding total points produce
As far as Double Doubles this stat needs to be weighted because DDs are different. I.e. Points +OR, DR, and Assist. If your a starting big forward posted under the rim averaging 25 minutes per/game you’d better have at least 10 OR and some DR, dish out some assist and convert most OR to FGs. Until rebounds are weighted it’s easy to pad the stat.
Very enlightening for some people!
CC is the inside favorite for WNBA ROTY. WE know this. But maybe, just maybe, she can make a run at MVP.
Only guards CC leads the league in rebounds at 145 which 2 ahead of Bonner, but like you said boomer plays the three sometimes the 4. Assists 194 leads the league she has 29 more assists than cloud. 22 blocks leads the league for guards 2 ahead in front of Diggins-Smith. 4th for guards in the league. Leads the league in DD with 8 and 1 TD.
that's what I was telling somebody in person yesterday - if you compare her to her position and where she ranks in the league versus where every other rookie ranks versus their position, not even close!
I know bro, when you look at stats like those, hell yeah
You understand ball.......
Caitlin is on triple double watch every game
She is a baller
Just subscribed
All WNBA. Pg, Caitlin Clark…SG Kahlea Copper…SF Dewanna Bonner….PF Napheesa Collier….Center Aja Wilson
I totally agree with you on all accounts
Leading all guards in blocked shots!
All of these stats have been with her being double and triple coveraged by every defense the Fever has faced. Once her being off on 3 pointers ends and She finds her groove..watchout!
Her shooting with three points will be improve if her couch can actually couch by providing her with some help and plus an opponents teams keep blitzing and double her every time in half court
Is that Clark and Brink in your poster? Cool..
It is!
If she upped her shooting in general, she would be hands down ROTY. But she has to limit turnovers. Her play reminds me of Josh Giddey -- not a big D person, but clutch 3s.
I think she already has the season record for rookie assists with 15 games left to play.
What is the league record for double doubles in assists and points? What is the league record for triple doubles in a season?
I subscribed,
LOL
Listen to this stat. In the last 5 games she's had 109 points and 64 assists, nobody in history has ever matched those stats. If you lower the numbers to 90 points and 50 assists, it's only happened four times in history, three of those four were Caitlin Clark.
that's MVP worthy. If they were a few games over .500 instead of below I would be campaigning but I know they already have A'ja's address on it so I'll save it until game 1 next year.
She is 1st among guards in rebounds and blocks.
Yes
Directs game the best.
Reason why she's still "maturing" with some of the scoring stats...3pts, 3pt %, etc., is because of how she's guarded compared to all the others. She's guarded heavier than any other shooter, league-wide...easily. She invokes FEAR, and because of that, the ladies be picking her up way before the half court line. Once she settles in and continues to learn how to punish teams for double-teaming her, all those stats will go THRU THE ROOF.
What are AR numbers????
But, but...... double-doubles.
🤣
How was Steph's three point shooting as a rookie? What were his rookie stats in comparison to CC?
Curry appeared in 80 games (77 starts) during the 2009-10 season, averaging 17.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.90 steals in 36.2 minutes. His second half of the season vaulted him into the rookie of the year race. (This sounds like his first 40 games were not as good as his 2nd 40)
@@TheProchargedmopar Thanks for the stats! 👍 Hmm, they seem pretty comparable to CC's stats. What about Steph's TOs, which everyone seems to be making a big deal about when it comes to CC?
CC will be in top 7 in MVP by end of year...they may even be .500 with 20-20 record
top 7 for sure! Top 5 even.
❤CC22🐐MVP
how do her stats compare to rookies?
More rebounds really put angel reese to shame
she was first in total scoring.
#1 guard rebounding at 5.i
Next best guatd 5.1
5.8*
I don’t think she can win MVP, but I think she has the numbers to be in the conversation. Aja will win MVP
Yup. If CC leads the fever to an above 500 record and the 5th spot, she will arguably be at no 2 in the mvp conversation
I wonder how many of these expert players would actually do better than CC if they were treated exactly like she is. If you put 2,3, or 4 players guarding them would the do better, if everyone in the league put a target on you and played you , harassed you like the do CC especially if you were a rookie would you do as well as she is doing. I highly doubt it. Most of the older players who are attacking CC would loose their cool and be ejected if they were played like they play CC.
The only person holding Clark back is her coach. Caitlin needs to be let loose and given control of the team.
She didn't get credited for that poster block last night against Lynx lol😂 haters all around her
Has any other guard garnered more attention than Clark?
Every team that goes against the fever, their game plan is to stop CC.
Not a close race in reality
