- With so much media coverage and fan arguments around the season that Caitlin Clark is having, I wanted to dive in and do an actual breakdown on what Caitlin Clark brings to the game from a professional and fundamental stand point.
Caitlin Clark ROTY and MVP GOD MODE
You think she's the front runner for mvp or your pick for mvp?
@@themidrange Of course she would be most valuable, that is hard to even think it would anyone else. A'ja is the best point scorer sure. Caitlin Clark is the best Point/Assist contributor in the league, and is even on pace to have the most points contributed in a season by any WNBA player, ever. Ya that is most VALUABLE, plus a bottom of the barrel team to a playoff contender, just like Larry Bird.
@@themidrange
Front runner
Look at her stats bro
Wilson is just a pure scorer
Very little team value in that
You talked to me about the NBA bro
So you know the NBA?
The NBA have always given the MVP to the players who help their team win and improve
It's rare they have given MVP just for pure scoring on your own
Look at stats bro
The NBA would give it to Caitlin
The W won't
But the W is a political movement not a serious sport
Bro
You will have to get used to me
Because you know I am right...
At least 1 male in the league
And the white girls fear the league
Paige B has been begging vets yo not bully her next year for being white bro
I also think three of the fever players played in the all-stars with Clark and won.
Yep.
A’ja whole season is fake…
Aces have been leaving her in during garbage time all season to boost her stats
Clark is the Real MVP
I wouldnt say the season is fake. Her and Clark play about the same minutes on average.
Solid breakdown. We saw what happened with a short Olympic break, so I'm really looking forward to her second year after a full off-season where she can just sit down and work on her game.
Having a full off season and time to actually adjust and work with her team is going to be scary. Especially after getting a taste of the playoffs so early in her career too.
Hopefully they will bully Paige more next season so Caitlin might have an easier time of things
Paige has already started to beg on camera for the W players to not beat her for being white
She basically said...
I'm not like Caitlin Clark I'm on your side
Will be interesting to see if that's enough get a pass or not
But I am hopeful that the next top white girl will take some of the violence away from Caitlin for a while
😂How much improvement? She literally is on pace to Break the scoring record, assist record and 3 points record .. The greatest rookie season statistically,🤷🏽♂️, go buy a ticket like we do and witness the atmosphere instead of relying on online , yk how everything with CC name on it has clicks, comes with the crown
Paige ? Tf dude, you do realise Paige is UConn and woke ? And she's not the goated like CC, individually not as a accomplished , actually no woman is @@daz97
@@washuneluvhada7616
And she has created more points from her scoring and assists total, than anyone else in the league
That's not a Rookie stat
I believe that makes her MVP
Because the best player imo is Wilson, but MVP isn't a best player award
Most valuable player
Well that's different to best player...
Valuable?
She brings the biggest crowd in the game
She sells the most Merc
She holds the most records for any Rookie
She has already made League records of her own (not all rookie records)
She has created more points Vs shots and assists in the whole league this season
MVP.. she makes her team mates score more, and that has lifted the team from bottom to play off hopefuls
The value is beyond anyone else by miles imo
If it was best player award though I would give it Wilson
Because Wilson's pure points scored
And CCs Rookie problems that need another season to become fixed (like turnovers)
I wouldn't have much of an argument against Wilson for best player this season though
But most valuable
I struggle to give it Wilson over Caitlin imo
CC should be unanimous ROY...i simple dont understand how REESE can be in the conversation...
Well reese is at number 2. They will always have conversation around 1 and 2. Just how it works, I don't think it should be a cause of concern.
Excellent analysis. Look forward to future videos
Much appreciated, hopefully another one coming tomorrow.
Caitlin Clark super fan here. Great video, very detailed breakdowns of things that are easy to miss and rarely pointed out.
I’ve go zero problems with any of the negative things you pointed out about her game. It’s all very fair criticism and it shouldn’t surprise anyone that there are things she can improve on. In a way, knowing she has room to grow show how high her ceiling could be.
I honestly hope her coaches see this video (I can’t imagine she would, if I was her I’d avoid content about me like the plague or suffer a mental breakdown).
Subbing to your channel, looking forward to seeing what else you’ve got. Very well done, Coach.
Really appreciate you taking the time to comment and sub. I love watching her and the fever play and wish the conversations around these girls was more about baskwtball. I know how the internet gets but hopefully I can sprinkle my little bit of talking points in here that will allow people to have better conversations around the game.
And about the ceiling thing, you're absolutely right. Honestly she didn't even play 'that' great and had another triple double. It's insane.
Fever have made it clear they don't watch social media and rarely even use anyone to look through it for ideas they might have missed
So unfortunately we know Fever doesn't see our ideas
Although it's a little bit annoying in some ways, nice to be heard as fans
I think I appreciate it still, social media are s very toxic isn't it?
Every hate campaign for the last 5 years that I know of was an online movement ✌️
If Caitlin Clark does not win Rookie of the Year which she has clearly won, then the WNBA is over.
I wouldnt say the wnba would be over. But I do agree she's the front runner.
FYI - your video is only playing in my left ear. Everything else I watch today plays in both. Just wanted you to know because I like your content.
I really appreciate the feedback. I'll check some settings to see if it's on my end. Thanks again!
You're a life saver. I was able to go back and re-render a video that's scheduled to go up today and found it had done the same thing. Not sure how long this has been happening but should be no more issue going forward. Much appreciated.
Caitlin Clark fan here. I had no problem with anything you said. It is the definition of constructive criticism. I hope she sees your video. I don't have your or her basketball knowledge, but I think she would learn from it.
Thanks a ton for your comment. I love watching her and the fever play and hopefully my video can help people break down her game 'properly' rather than all the negativity that's being thrown around. Also hoping it helps the Caitlin Clark fans strengthen their arguments when defending her and let's them be excited knowing she has sooo much room to improve that this is the worst she's ever going to be. It's so wild how high her ceiling is.
Must be that new math where breaking 18 WNBA records in half a season is less than someone else breaking the same record over and over again 3 times.
I can't.
I don't think I said that in the video. Unless you were talking about espns list.
@@themidrange I'm talking in general. That was targeted at anyone who would even consider Reese in competition with Clark for anything of the year.
:)
Yeah, because Aja and the other veterans don't make mistakes.
Hmm, interesting take away.
Excellent Analysis!
Thank you! Really appreciate it!
Great commentary. Subscribed for more!
Much appreciated! Plenty more to come!
Question in Basketball why are there so many referee mistakes? If watch UK rugby you will see there are other checks in play over referees so they can make the right call. If you watch it no player no matter how big they are have to obey Referee decisions. It seams Rugby is the only main sport that has games controlled. I noticed with all other sports it is left to the ref and huge mistakes are made goals when there should not be touch downs when the ball is out of control Baskets failed because of a clear foul yet nothing done. It is sad that fair play is not in sports the way it should be. For instance Americas women's Basketball team all old players most should not had been there as they already had medals fair play would be a new younger team give them a chance for medals. In Olympic soccer UK sometimes pull out because so many top players that are professionals. It seams sportsmanship has gone as special drugs used and other cheating methods. I like simple if a foul hard luck if a turn over it stands too much cheating seams to be going on in all sports other than Rugby at the moment.
I think refereeing in baskwtball is difficult because it's so fast paced and there's always the balance of trying to keep the flow of the game. There's violations every play but if all of them were called the game would never finish. Not saying the refs are great or have done an awesome job in all these games, but there's a few arguments for why it will never be perfect in basketball.
Angel Reese is out for the rest of the season.
Saw that this morning. Injuries suck.
I really enjoyed this breakdown, great video sir.
Yoo, much appreciated Westby. Hope you've been well man!
@@themidrange Flu got me last week but other than that been well. Breakdown had me locked in. Hope to see more of these.
@@MwestTech sorry to hear. Ya ill be on the grind now that I've got the channel flow in my head.
Caitlin is an Overall and Complete much better player,,,❤
I can appreciate that.
My right ear just called, told me it's still around.
I'm sorry?
Kelsey did a little push, it wasn't an ankle break. Sadly I was like 🫣
Ya, its super common nowadays. Still was nice in real time.
I do not watch sports. ill watch Fever games though. The teamwork they display is awesome!
They have been fun to watch come together because it could have easily crashed and burned early in the season.
FYI, you are the WORST hater ive ever heard. CC's haters are over the top with criticism and other manufactured statistics. Your "hate" is just honest criticism that could only help her game!
Haha, sometimes fans can go a little too hard for their player but I guess thats what fans do. I hope that they can see the good will I put into reviewing players with a charitable lense.
For me it's very simple. Clark is top 20 in all 5 statistical categories points, rebounds, assist, blocks & steals. Only 3 WNBA can this be said about including Collier, Stewart & Clark. I have Clark easily ahead in ROTY and also as MVP candidate even though Aja should win that hands down.
I dont think I disagree, we're pretty similar on all those points.
Do you agree with pushing the game forward, at any cost
Or
Do you think it needs pushing forwards correctly?
I mean are you happy for males and for bullying to be officially supported by the whole league
Because that's part of why there's so kuch arguing
Is it ok for straight and white women to be not beaten up if they play to well?
My point?
This league shouldn't be pushed forwards if its pushed forward by the people who currently holds the power in yhe league
So no
I don't atree with just push it forward
We push forward the some worth pushing forward
Not people like Angel or Carter etc
I think pushing it forward at any costs isn't sustainable and I don't morally agree with it. I see guys like awful coaching who doesn't fully understand the game at a high level and is blowing up but actual strategy and analysis doesn't get as much attention.
That's why I also don't do the gossip strategy and race baiting. I think reese, Carter and other players being called bullies is probably not accurate. This is a physical league and most people are used to watching the nba, so when they see the wnba they think there's something extremely broken with it. Basketball in the rest of the world looks much different than the nba. Thing is, the rules and freedom of movement will most likely begin to change and adapt more to the nba style game.
@@themidrange
So when the ball is not near you and carter runs over and pushes you over
And Angels celebrating like a10yo Christmas day
No don't buy into it mate
Believe the ESPN not your own eyes
Yeah
Not the channel for me
I hate all that racism stuff also
I mean MJ is my goat
Shame black people can't have white goats though isn't it brother ✌️
@@themidrange
Bro
Don't pretend you understand the game then post some of that nonsense brother
You know when the ball is out of play it is not a tough foul or a tough sport
That is literally a no sporting assault...
Playing in to the race stuff
Cool, Caitlin would have loved that choice herself I'm sure
Shame people prefer what ESPN has to say more than what they see for themselves
I have asked 100s of black people to name a while sporting GOAT in their opinion
They can't
Ask any white person to name a black person they think is a GOAT and watch them name several people
The truth is you don't want to face the racism stuff because it's your side doing it
Enjoy it bro
Black are always right and us little white people need to shut up and just let you guys rule, right?
That's all I hear from your media bro
@@themidrange
I agree with the general out look that you have on this
And I do think make your channel your own, your way
But I think your delusional if you actually think Carter and Angel, no big deal, just playing the game
And that bully is on because the NBA does similar sometimes
You know that's a weak excuse? Right?
It's ok if I beat this guy up because some other guy beat me up once
It's silly brother
And you are aware that B.Griner is literally factually a male?
Like 100% search their topless pictures for confirmation
The W can't move forward when it is like this bro
How long before a Mike Tyson type ends up in the W and hurts someone?
The league should not be so blindly supported
We do have race issues in this league
And Carter is a bully who should be seriously punished
Bro
The ball wasn't even on the court and you say it was just a tough play? What play the ball was of bounds
And we allow this sort of violence now
When a new BG arrives who is angry and male, with say the I don't care I will attack anyone I want attitude of Carter
What then? We let them beat the women do we?
How many males are in this league? We know there's one but who else?
@@themidrange
I want to agree with you and be positive
I 90% of the time take the middle ground option also
But honestly
I think you are completely delusional in this one
Carter, the ball was out of play so how as it a tough play? You can't call a foul when the balls out of play, a play bro
And you can't say violence is ok in the W just because you accept it in the NBA
That's a bad take brother
Also
The racism and gender issues in the W
You are aware there's a male currently playing in the W and no officials care at all?
Honestly, you're like me on any other subject, concentrating on the positives and ignore the noise...
Generally it's for the best
I agree this league can't sustain itself unless it changes
But it won't change because people like you are here to promote keeping it the same
Why would it be so bad if white girls where treated equally in this league brother?
No big deal, she’s hot headed and gets in refs ears. If they’re not going to call an obvious hand push on her, so be it, just call it the same both ways. She’ll “make friends” like all the greats do. The title’s clickbait because there’s no rookie even close to her game (and I don’t begrudge creators using clickbait, it’s part of the game lol), but sure she’s got some maturation to go through mentally and with the pick and roll game.
Click bait unfortunately us the game we gotta play but I try to address it asap, I used this title and thumbnail since ESPN didn't actually have her number 1. Also I'd much prefer to just be able to breakdown a game for hours since that's my passion but I gotta dress it up and make a story line to keep other people interested. Showing people "why" they should care.
Definitely true man
I knew so many guys like her when I was a kid
Full passion mode, they get in eachothers faces over anything lol
I expect it's partially how she got this good in the first place
It will get her into trouble at times though, all emotionally driven moments do
Ask Sky the team who thinks bullying is how you win games and fans
It will save a game or 2 at times also though, because she is very clutch in those highly emotional moments, so she can feed of that energy and up her game for a short burst or 2
Age should help
Her skills settling instead of developing will help
Her mental development will also help... I was a lot more hot headed in my 20s than I am now in my 40s
The NBA is better, has to be said...
The W is a political movement not a serious league
I am hopeful Caitlin and us fans can change that
We don't need to push the black or LGBTQ away, the same way they try pushing us away... I want everyone to play, and that's the difference between us and them
We're for everyone and they aren't
We need to take the power away from them is all
The influence to force problems on official and non official acts
The first thing I want to see is a real ban in male players
I know we only know that there's 1 player like that
But it's 1 to many and it proves this is not a serious sport at all
Yeah, Ive watched her a lot of times just milling around on defense, like if there was to much in in her head. Must get some self control on defense and stop with the refs. She's beginning to look like LeBron and the refs. Not a good look.
😂😂 while I probably wouldn't word it the same you did, I completely agree that she does some of the same habits lebron does which I am not the biggest fan of. Both are still some of my favorites to watch though.
@@themidrange oh yeah, for sure. If she becomes a defensive player too, then shed be like a LeBron. He can and does all positions
1 thru 5 which she can
Algorithm brought me here.
Hopefully it was worth it?
@@themidrange Sure, I enjoy tactical breakdowns.
Much appreciated.
How about Clark is calling out the refs lack of consistency. You don't see the bias, that's clear. And your breakdowns needs work.
Consistency in what, we literally watched the play she was complaining about. It was a non biased play and an incredibly easy call. She does it twice in the same game. This is why when she has a valid complaint they don't listen to her because she complains regardless. This is an incredibly easy, surface level break down. I guarantee she would have no issue with anything or be surprised by anything said in this video. This is to try and help people who do not understand the game, not for her, she will be fine.
CC is the definition of MVP though. She’s ROTY already but if not CC for MVP who else brings more value to there team and the league than her?
Aja Wilson is currently the front runner for mvp, I don't think they will use who brings more fans as a metric but if they did it would be cc.
@@themidrange aja has that dawg in her to there would no shame in losing out to her. I could see her winning it forsure, I guess just thinking overall whole impact it would be Caitlin. Loving the actually fair commentary either way haha keep it coming brotha!
Ya, I was trying to think the same thing on the nba side and just rarely do they bring off the court metrics into picking an mvp but sometimes they do use the better story line. I think aja will probably win dpoy so that probably makes her case more than cc bringing views. Hard to tell.
Also, much appreciated!
this is so cool.......... the meat and potato's
Much appreciated. I love getting down to the nitty gritty.
sparks actually played defense against clark like they should. no drop coverage and smothering her off the screen. when she learns how to beat that or gets someone who recognizes it, she gonna be unstoppable. and if she starts moving off ball better, she gonna end up looking like curry.
but anyone talking about her as mvp just goofy. a'ja wilson is balling out and nobody is close in that race.
You're not wrong. There's a few coverages she's struggled with. Even this one with the sparks she struggled but still had a triple double. That's how scary she is. 😂
😂😂, CC has had a bigger impact on her team and their turn around from last to a winning record and climbing into the playoff race.
She's also had a bigger impact on the league, attendance and viewership wise.
CC has shattered multiple rookie and league records. Her rookie stats are better than those that have won MVP in the past.
Her rookie season is historic and will go dwn as one of the best, most impactful and productive seasons in history , period, not just for a rookie but for ANY player .
Fastest player ever to 500 points and 200 assists, 2 triple doubles this season, and extremely close to at least 2 to 3 other triple doubles.
Those are just 2 amongst multiple examples of her dominance in that league already.
Especially, considering NO one has been gaurded harder than her, picked up and pressed full court, doubled and blitzed more than anyone and she's still cooking them.
She's a legit MVP candidate 100% and there are plenty of strong arguments as to why she is the MVP.
You pretending otherwise is what's goofy !
@@uoislame
She needs to play off the ball better in defence for sure 100% agee with that
She also needs to work on how she can get the ball to a team mate from half court when she has 3 players around her...
Because that causes a lot of her turnovers, and causes her to be hot headed
I won't lie though, 3 players surrounding her half court will never be an easy thing to solve for her! Or anyone!
She seems to manage it better as each games goes on imo but maybe she can improve and get on top of it early in the future
She is MVP in any normal season imo...
But Wilson has played good enough for me to be like?
She played great so no problem really, good for her
I think why it annoys me a little though, is because they tried to steal that ROY award from her
They have refused her player of the week and month several times this season
So it is sorta like...
Not this again!
WNBA... Just treat her like you would a black women FFS it's not difficult
CC stand out ROTY
I've got her number 1 and in the mvp discussion.
You are CLUELESS....
Which part? Happy to discuss.
Great job .. I got a recess rookie of the Year to get a double double every night when you have guards that are on a very low level get to have that team still in the playoffs is incredible. The reason I don't have CC because as a guard she shoots a terrible 3-point percentage has league leader in turnovers and a liability on defense.. how far is MVP there's no discussion there's only 1 MVP... MVP shouldn't even be a topic for no channels, media, or anyone else wondering it's clearly Aja Wilson..but once again great break down..
Thanks man greatly appreciated. I can understand the reese argument. I wouldn't be mad at either one of these 2 winning but I think the sky as a team are just so bad that it is really going to hold reese back for roty. I think Clark is the easy answer with the team success but again, both deserving.
And for mvp ya, nothing will change my mind about aja except for something crazy happening. I also still have collier and stewie behind aja and ahead of Clark.
CC is closer to MVP than Reese is to ROTY.
I respect your opinion but I don't understand how losing with double doubles can be better than taking one of the worse teams to the playoffs for the first time in 8 years and being among the top in most stats...
Reese could have won other years though.
@@hakancarlsson2881so clearly u never played basketball on a high level. So you don't understand you're just looking at stats you're not looking at all the stats you're also not looking at the position and ur responsibility of the position.. so let me help you out. To have a team that is in rebuild mode the guards that are not on the same level as all the other WNBA teams come in as a rookie computer against the top players in your position in the league and get a double double on them every night and have your team still in the playoffs is extraordinary as a rookie. What is a rookie who has two All Stars a team that was already equipped with good players that were injured last season and now they're all coming back together she can't text me everything the whole story is everything. Well because you never played basketball on a pro level probably not even a high school level you have no clue.
@@protecttheyouthoooo "Casual bla bla bla"
I guess I rescind my respect for your opinion...
@@hakancarlsson2881@hakancarlsson2881 sorry but I played professional basketball PG I might know too much about the ins and outs of basketball being in and out of locker rooms understanding of ups and downs of different teammates. Something you have no clue about.. but the brother that made the video may or may not disagree but at least he can make a basketball point speaking from experience.. something u can't do.. thanks for being a good cheerleader I rather be on the floor or on the bench with a team ...
