      CC is also learning what her teammates can do, and playing to their strengths. It's a two way street. She's been working on her midrange and deep two. Remember the deep 2 that Sides encouraged at the start of the seasons, and all the non basketball CC fans blew a gasket, that CC should only shoot deep 3s? Well, sides was right. CC can't get open for deep 3s if that's all she's got. The reason CC is getting more looks these days is because defenses have to guard against her driving to the rim, AND her passes.

Great potential on defense, and making much better defensive decisions now. I think the success in this game was all dependent on her hitting the first layup off a CC get-ahead pass, which was a shaky layup. Last game she missed it. Next layup was clean, and then the 3s started raining down. Gabbie Marshall was very confidence driven too. Lexie's build makes it difficult to stay on her feet, and absorb contact and drive, but it helps get over screens on defense. She has very soft hands to catch any pass from CC, and great speed. It's all about making the layups. If she can do that with regularity, everything else will fall into place.

      Eh, the Fever were even worse before last season. The addition of Boston moved them from a 5 win team to a 13 win team. You also have to realize they were an even younger team last year with a whole new coaching staff and system. Wheeler was also their starting PG and she had a horrible time at getting the ball inside so Boston and Smith could work their magic. I would argue that it is the smarts of Boston and Clark working in tandem that are driving the surge this year.

    Caitlin Clark is single handedly getting her teammates wide open shots. Did you see what happened when KM and AB were trying to play HERO BALL the first 2 quarters?? Missed 3's, missed layups, got they shiz BLOCKED. CC didn't have her first assist until lexi hit one on a break end of first quarter. Mid way through 3nd quarter they all started passing to the open shooter. KM ended with 3 assists a 300% increase over avg. and AB had 8, WTH? That's a personal best.

      Well, if you keep adding #1 and #2 picks you should be getting better year to year. The Fever were terrible for a decade. Thus, they got a bunch of top picks that are now beginning to mature. And, CC just adds to that. In the last 6 years, they had Boston #1 pick, Mitchell #2 pick, Smith #2 pick. It is similar to how the Aces built their championship team. Pairing 3 existing #1 and #2 picks with a Point Guard who is a #1 pick should lead to a lot more scoring, for sure.

    Clark is playing well, and is a big part of why Indiana is competitive this season. That said, give her teammates some credit. Aliyah Boston is a beast in the paint. Kelsey Mitchell is scoring nearly 18/game, Lexie Hull had the game of her life over the weekend. And the the rest of the team is simply getting it done. Of course it is easier when Caitlin Clark commands so much attention, but give credit where credit is due. The rest of the team are finding ways to get open, and are then making their shots.
    Indiana could very well be a force in the playoffs, and it will be because of they are playing as a team with much more depth than they get credit for. Sometimes it takes one player to bring it all together as it did for the Celtics with Bird, and the Lakers with Johnson.

Only a few WNBA teams have that many top picks on the roster simultaneously. The benefit of the Fever being bad for 10 plus years.

    For myself and many others who saw CC in college, she is performing up to expectations playing, learning from her mistakes, growing, meshing with 2 other exceptional talents in AB and KM, and other talented players on the Fever team.
    People who expected her to struggle mightily, including veteran WNBA players, simply underestimated how good she is. That's somewhat understandable considering that Kelsey Plum and Kelsey Mitchell were 1 and 2, respectively, on the all-time women's career college scoring list until CC passed them this year while she was wrapping up her career at Iowa.
    KP and KM are excellent talents, but each struggled and had difficulty transitioning from college to the WNBA, which was the norm. Their struggles served to suggest to many that CC would struggle like them in her rookie season and beyond for a time.
    CC is just a better all-around player and more mature than other rookies whom she was compared to, but those other rookies like KP and KM over a longer period of time have proven to be outstanding WNBA All-Stars.
    CC landed in a great spot on a hungry team with some very talented All-Star caliber players in AB and KM who needed a highly skilled floor general to organize and lead them.
    It's a team game, and the Fever are developing into a championship caliber team.

    • @kimlinden2280
      @kimlinden2280 2 месяца назад

      No WNBA players said she would "struggle mightily". One or two simply said it would be an "adjustment". Taurasi said it's an "adjustment from college playing with grown women". And, Clark literally said she agreed with that statement. She talked, in her first couple of months, about the adjustments she was experiencing with the physicality, etc. Her high turnover rate in the first couple of months was also evidence of adjustments. Getting used to the increased athleticism of players in stealing passes.
      I think with Kelsey Plum, she bloomed when they had the coach change and the new coach put her back in as a starter and had more or a motion offense emphasizing 3 point shots which is one of her strengths. Before Hammon, the Aces had Cambage and Wilson and it was more of a post player traditional centered offense under the prior coach. As soon as the Aces had a new offensive mentality, Plum was more impactful. With Mitchell, she was stuck on a Fever team that was terrible and rebuilding, without a top tier PG. But, she was a good scorer from the start as a rookie. She was averaging 13 and 14 points in her first two seasons, playing about 24 minutes. Then the last 5 years she has averaged about 18 points regularly. She's always been a good scorer.

      Nah, Clark has no regrets. She needed the break and rest. She said so herself. She said, at the All Star break that she was exhausted and that was why she didn't enter the 3 point contest or skills challenge. And, I don't think the Fever would have wanted her to play in the Olympics either. If exhausted, she risked injury and that would have disrupted her chance to win rookie of the year. For that reason, I don't think any top rookie should play those extra Olympic weeks. And, Clark was not eligible for the 3x3 Olympic team as she chose not to do the qualifying tournaments. And, the team won gold. Every player on the Olympic team deserved to be there.

      All of us who can't slamdunk a ball have a lot to learn from her. For others who can, it's her magical passes and three-pointers. But most of all, her mental maturity and poise in the face of being kept out of the Olympic team is something we old guys can learn from.

    Hey WNBA - hire this guy to break down the game. It will increase viewership.

    The way Cailin ties together the team's defensive play with their offense and takes advantage of Seattle's weakness in transition is so beautiful. Can't wait to see the adaptations.
