Wembenyama averaged 3.7 TO, second in the league and he's not even a point guard. Yet I didn't hear anyone criticize him on ESPN. Caitlin isn't a superstar, yet, but she is fourth in the league in assists playing on a horrible team.
Caitlin team has been in the top 4 in draft picks since 2019, Victor 21 10 4 and 4 TO a game on 46 percent, clark 16 5 6 and 6 TO a game on 37 percent not the same
The thing is, she's better than her assist record. If you look at the easy looks she gets her team, she should have higher assists than what she has. Her passing is the outstanding aspect of her game over her shooting. Her shooting form is nice, but her percentages need to improve. But her passing really stands out. Don't look at stat sheets. Watch her game and watch others in the WNBA. Clark is a great passer.
IDK. 5.5 turnovers per game is still pretty bad.
Yeah but wembanyama is a big that averages 21 and 10 with 4 blocks. Caitlin's game is shooting and passing. What her numbers are saying is shes shouting a lot and passing a lot at efficiency that many players could achieve at that volume. If shes not doing either on a high level what else is she doing. Wembanyama is also one of if not the best defensive player in the league.
Face guarding at 94 ft is the definition of *superstar* defense
Why are they talking about CC on a NBA finals postgame show. CC living rent free in people head😂
They are talking about her is because ESPN wants them to do you really believe that these two women want to go out of their way every day to keep talking about her or does the executives who produced this Nettwerk want them to
@@smikell9997 two things can be true at once. Yes, the executives understand it's good TV and will drive ratings and these women are jealous point blank. And the funny part is it's not just with what's going on in the WNBA right now but females are naturally catty and jealous of each other in all walks of life.
Because they were told to. Cut it out.
Thanks to angel Reese waving her hand in her face. Cc is living rent free in peoples head including yours obviously
They hate whites
Notice how ESPN and FOX didn’t play her interview saying “people need to STOP using her name to push an agenda”
Because that's how they benefit
She needs to get online and say that to her. "Fans" and just flat out make a post to clear the air completely.
They didn’t get the memo
And the Europeans needed to stay in Europe so what’s your point as a armchair journalist 😂😂😂😂😂
They did but someone had to speak up first before she said something she should of said it the first time rookie mistake all her teammates too wasn't going to play with her too because if she didn't say anything they gonna assume she's ok with it
Everything about CC has never been about welcoming her, it's all been about attacking her. Let that sink in. And also to add... CC never was beating her own drum, not was she pounding her chest... she has been attacked without provocation.
She got a 20M + dollar deal and scored 3 point then 7 points…let that sink in bubster
@drulamane then 30 points, then 30 points while being blitzed, faced guarded and double teamed and her shots no falling...yet. ahh, but then comes the "what about the turnovers?" Yea, turnovers are 100% on her, because great players don't turn the ball over as rookies with new team... right?
They all acted like they welcomed her, even Angel R was hugging her for the cameras and then.....😈😈😈
kinda like lebron, only thing is lebron was a ohysical freak that was harder to bully n stood up to these punks. shes getting the lebron treatmen
@@khalxd1991I'd say she's getting the 2014 Curry treatment. People were saying he's too turnover prone and people only like his game over other similar players is bc he's light-skinned
If they are concerned about the CC narratives dominating WNBA discourse, why is Catilin Clark the only name used in the title of this video? Complaining about all the attention she gets but then using her name to get more clicks and engagement on the platform... Interesting
ESPN isn't complaining.
But she's not dominating she just had 7 points with 7 turnovers that's the 5th game out of 14 she had 7 turnovers
Because it’s ESPN they’re pushing their own agenda the sportscasters really having not too much to say about the subject matter they speak about ESPN only wants to go with the headlines and who is the most popular person these days they used to do the same thing every day with LeBron in the Lakers
@@anthonyhooper2270 nah not stats wise I meant the CC dominating the conversation as in all everyone in media talks about is Caitlin this and Caitlin that. They complain no one talks enough about the other great players in the WNBA enough, but here they are using her for clicks just like everyone else lol
ESPN is revealing itself to be the lowest of all lows. Move on and leave this woman play ball. ESPN is inciting more and more animosity and needs to STOP!!!
Perk knows what's up 😂 , these women be hating hard , especially monica .
Nothing to hate on…cc is playing like garbage
@@Jricks1992 16 ppg and 6 apg as a rookie is garbage? Give her a chance to learn and develop ffs
Monica actually took it easy with her analysis.
Looks like she can't stop talking about Catlin just to get more air time,they said it themselves we will start with Catlin and end with her
That Caitlin rising tide works for commentators also I see
That Washington Mystics team averaged 4000 attendance per game. Caitlan comes to town and they have switch venues to accommodate 17,0000!!!! That's not even their home crowd! How can they tear something like that down! They are biting the hand that is feeding them.
I give Perk a lot of props for actually listening and trying to engage in actual dialogue. Folks should be pushing up the W not shitting on the league which is what a lot of the noise ends up doing.
Notice how every single WNBA related video will have a CC thumbnail/headline yet they are trying their hardest to tear her down… only reason we clicked on this video is b/c if it was anyone else this video has less that 500 views
Face guard the existing players full court, double team and blitz them off screens 60 times more than anyone else and see how it affects their stats.
That's part of the game what are you crying about?
@@Rick-og6oyno dude, don’t do that. Look at the stats on PNR handlers and double teams. It’s a fact, Caitlin gets blitzed far more than any other TEAM in the league, let alone individual players.
@@BoJangles42because she can’t handle it. You don’t do it to good ball handlers because they will blow past them and you lose a defender and make it 5 on 4. Dude. Stats are more complicated than numbers.
True story. They gaurd her walking to the bench. Watch other games, nobody gets picked up like CC. Or double teamed. When the Fever get a solid second shooter, they'll be a dangerous team.
They do. You obviously don't watch games. Do you think people are more concerned about Clark than Aja or Ogunbowale? Get real. This girl is wide open on the perimeter 90% of her games and still only shoots 29% from beyond the arc.
CC has better rebounding, steals, assists, and fg% than Kelsey Plum. If it's just based on merit, CC should be on the team. Nneka has much better numbers than many players on Team USA's roster.
You can't run your offense through a 35% (31% from 3) shooter who avgs about 6 turnovers a game and can't really guard anyone ...
plum is th epoint for jackie oyung and aj wilson, thats adds to it, society is not a meritocracy.
didn't kelsey plum win back to back championships with the aces?
@@markparham The Aces have a great team but Kelsey's not having a good season.
Out of all takes i actually dont disagree with this one Plum has been dogSHXT and doesnt know how to facilitate Young recovered just in time to stop us going under 500
It’s weird, it’s like she has the most defensive pressure……
Weird comment
Stephen A put Monica on vacation from First Take
😂😂😂
She's trash anyway so SAS did us a favor
Good
Dude is too petty, couldn't handle the facts
That's good. Hopefully she stays there, she's annoying af😂
If it wasn't for Caitlin Clark all of these women on this panel would be "unknown" and voiceless!
“Chelsea Gray doesn’t turn the ball over “
Chelsea Gray also hasn’t played since last season.
She also was the point guard for the current back to back WNBA champs
Thumbs down at top.
@@rashoff The US team will win handily.
The highest level of female amateur basketball that feeds the WNBA is the NCAA.
The overwhelming majority of NCAA players are American.
There’s no scenario where the US team loses the gold; CC needed to be on the team. The WNBA fumbled the bag.
She played last season. They are going off her stats when she played.
@@philu3 The WNBA does not form the team, the Team USA committee forms the team. Just like how the NBA does not have a hand on the men’s side
I would like to remind everyone she’s still a rookie of course there’s a gap
Some people can’t tell because she’s hyped up as the “greatest female hooper ever”
She also had the 3rd best odds to win the mvp before playing in the WNBA
@@fruke2629lol @ wnba mvp
@@fruke2629 sucker bets like that are one of the main reasons why gambling is so lucrative
But when Diana Taurasi said that, the Caitlinsexuals attacked her.
I have never seen a league try to destroy a player like these guys are doing
It’s schoolyard bullying. Have you seen that Brittney Griner is an actual man?
Lol they did it to LEBRON lol stop crying
I think we've never seen a fan base so soft that they think competition is an attempt to destroy. Clark has brought a fan base that never competed in anything, never watched sports and it's showing.
Cc fans are pathetic
Women be bitche$
Why's she the only one player that's constantly been guarded all around the court in every game if she's not a top player?
Per game, Caitlin ranks 16th in scoring and 4th in assists.
That clearly makes her top 20 in the league already, and she's a rookie on a horrible team.
@@Paulafan5delusional
Not bad fo real but they have 12 teams, that means some teams have 2 or more player that out score her every night even though the Fever offense is ran through Clark. SMH understand the game people.
@@Jricks1992explain how that’s delusional. 16 and 4 are higher than 20. It absolutely puts her in the top 20.
I see you Perk. You're playing the long game 😂
This is the NBA finals coverage talking about Caitlin whaaaaaaat😂 McNutt yall doing a lot man
Don’t patronize Perk. He’s basically saying none of you ladies (on the panel and in the league) are supporting this woman. How long are you ladies going to keep her down.
she isnt far at all imo, i think if she had the right players around her right now she could win a chip or come close to it, not saying she would be a favorite, but i dont think you would be able to count her out
They keep talking about skill set and fairness. All people are talking about is to grow your league. You have talent. You just don't have the eyes. Can you imagine all the Chinese fans they would gain with this Olympic. All of these Indian fans. all of these girls who identify with a girl who can shoot from three. That would explode the league, but they're not thinking of that. They're thinking about not hurting feelings. And that's totally fair. I'm all for being fair. I also think they should include all of the three rookies. Those three rookies on that Olympic team would explode the popularity of the WNBA. I have no doubt in my mind
Just let Caitlyn bring the eyes. Most people aren’t saying she’s the best players but she’s for certain the best draw
Olympics is not a popularity contest!
BS
"they're thinking about not hurting feelings"
funny because the cc stans are the ones with hurt feelings
Honestly, who cares if it hurts her feelings. All I'm saying is that I want the WNBA to grow and they're losing their opportunity. That's all. There's going to be plenty of opportunities in the future, but why miss this opportunity that comes once every 4 years.@@FlyinSolo8319
There were no "stars" in the WNBA before Clark!!!
A’ja Wilson deserves her own segment💯 she been on a terror 28 and 11 a game
Many have become before Wilson and many will come after. She's a great pro that no one knows or cares about.
@@VeryOldMercLame take, sad honestly.
Who? Nobody cares :D
nah. they should keep talking about the overrated rookie with the overrated college career LOLOL
YOu don’t know or care about! We are attuned to the not so bright words by bigots and racists!
What country was this show in? Nigeria? Zimbabwe? The Congo? Good god, I guess the 13/90 stat also includes sports media representation now.
McNutt: “there are people in her corner, Perk (just not me).”
And why should she be? She is an analyst so should be unbiased.
Not her job
@@bria1660 her job is ratings, and she knows it’s a big deal to take daily shi*ts on the #1 pick.
@espn Would you all please address the role of coaching in the assessment of “how big the gap” is? I am a huge fan of both AB and CC and couldn’t wait to see them on the court together. Doesn’t feel like there is insight or capability from a coaching perspective on how to maximize both talents simultaneously. Seems like the coaching staff is taking an “either/or” approach now. The Fever’s wins feel a little dimmed when it’s a good CC/rough AB game or good AB/rough CC game.
If CC is with top players who can deliver her assist (the reason of her turnover numbers), she will shine.
We can shine if we pass the ball to the best players.....lol
Her turnovers are not due to her teammates. She regularly gets picked off all on her own.
@@futballlover7146 i want you to dig deep and you will understand what i mean. This is not an attack to CC's team mates. 2/3 of those TO are what i was referring where she is passing and its not being converted. CC doesnt shy from risking those passes so her team mates can experience it. Before Fagbenie got hurt, her, Nysmith and Boston was saying they were surprised to getting those passes before because none has those skills and talent better than CC
@@futballlover7146true, this is something to be worked on. She’ll get there. I personally believe she’s been in the most difficult position of all the rookies.
@@futballlover7146 At least half of the turnovers are her teammates not being prepared to catch the pass, or mishandling it. It's irrelevant anyhow. The person handling and passing the ball the most will always have the most turnovers. Lebron is the all time turnover leader in the NBA, Kobe is 5th. I guess they suck too huh?
I’m tired of only cc coverage I been watching the w this whole season. An Seattle deserves way more coverage so does Minnesota lynx, suns, aces they have real exciting games. The best rookie teams to me is Chicago and la sparks are the best. They need to cover seattles big 3 they balling all average around 20+. Aces Aja dropping almost 30 every night and young. I just wish they covered other girls so I can understand better and don’t gotta just watch cc grow. To me Katie Martin, Angel, and brink have been the best rookies and you see there impact right now. I wish rickea and pilli got more minutes cus they can ball and Edwards is probably honestly the best big but also the best player on her team an a rookie.
This is what nonfans call hate. Clark is not a bad player it's just other players are better and it upsets people to point it out. The players themselves are upset as well and rightfully so, Clark hasn't won anything and she gets the royal treatment.
On pace to be only the 5th player in the history of the W to finish with 15/5/5. TO are an issue for sure.
Her numbers are trending down. I'd be surprised if she finished with 15 or more points. Over her last couple of games she averaged 8.5 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds and 5 turnovers.
Aja Wilson Rookie Year Stats
21 points/8 rebounds/2.2 assists/2 blocks/1 turnover
No one believes her hype but her fans. Yall keep saying she’s breaking WNBA records-in what? This is why she didn’t make the Olympic team. She’s not that good-period. It’s not hate it’s objective analysis.
@@YouAREyoubeYou Those are awesome stats! Literally 2 different players that have very different rolls but ok. The fact you chose the best player in the W to compare her to is actually a compliment.
What I especially object to is the revisionists who claim that Clark was really not all that good as a college player, a claim which is absurd on its face.
O for 2
Cc never wins anything important
Other than her INDIVIDUAL scoring title what made her good? Be objective and not emotionally entitled.
@@YouAREyoubeYou
So are you claiming that historically great players such as Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, and Oscar Robertson were not very good in college because their teams never won the NCAA championship? If you are, you are dumber than a sack of rocks.
@@YouAREyoubeYou She played the NCAA Championship 2 years in a row. That's a success on its own, considering that Iowa didn't go to the final 4 since 1993. South Carolina, UConn, LSU are dinastys of women College Basketball, with stacked teams, while she was playing with farmers daughters. And by doing that she attracted millions tuning in to watch. Maybe she's not built Wnba, but she playing in college was the most interesting basketball in women's game I've ever seen.
Go back to some of these games, her teammates are fumbling passes and missing shots. She’s not perfect, she takes too many chances. But if you’re actually watching these games, she’d be at 10 assists per game if she had people who could make layups. That team had the 1 pick back to back years for a reason
I just started watching but I’m pretty sure what the direction of the commentary will take. I could be wrong..🤔
Her turnovers are mostly from trying to create for others. Would you rather she just shoots all day and not get the turnovers from passing. Also the trunover blame is 50/50. A lot of her teammates aren't ready for her passes. And some of her turnovers are just horrible, lol. No excuse for some of them.
She 5 steps a head of her teammates.
Clark’s team is horrible
When the opponent team strategy is to throw everything at Clark, that says it all about her supporting cast
They're about equal to the bottom 4 teams
They didn't do that yesterday and they won.
@@shaneweathers3319 yea cause Boston finally showed up and Mitchell
@@user-qb3vi5kk3tthey was the worst team in the league last year, what do you expect? You expect the spurs to be on Denver’s level next season and if they aren’t it’s Wembys teammates fault?
There are 3-4 good WNBA teams, record-wise. It’s practically impossible to go from worst to first in a league like this.
It’s still growing in a lot of ways.
Is this The View or ESPN?
You are viewing espn😂
Maybe if her teammates wouldn’t fumble the ball those wouldn’t be turnovers.
How can you work for a company that loses 50 million dollars and then demand to fly private .. I dont get it ..
Entitlement in the Welfare league
Caitlin is the WBNA! I'd pay $500 to see Caitlin play!! I wouldn't bother with the WNBA if she wasn't playing!! 😅
Anyone connected to Connecticut womens basketball is NOT going to be complementary of Caitlin if they can avoid it.
You don’t have to connected to her team to be able to see with your eyes the difference. It’s not hate. She’s got a learning curve and that’s clear for anyone to see
LSU and S.C. too, she dropped 41 points on both of them and knocked them out of the tournament.
@@stevehardwick7285 stop it. both LSU AND SOUTH Carolina won NATIONAL TITLE CHAMPIONSHIPS and IOWA lost to BOTH teams in the past two years. She has NO RINGS.
Stop trying to revise history.
Those empty points mean nothing except what is clearly been stated over and over - she is a ballhog.
Something she proudly was stating when she was at IOWA for them to just feed her the ball.
She is not WNBA ready. 3pt circus shots is not playing the fundamentals of basketball.
@@kimberlybecoatstudio7020the 4th best assists player in the wnba league is a ball hog. What would you say for Mitchell who has games with 0 assists.
Considering how crazy they guard Caitlin Clark her numbers are very good. She does have to work on ball security, but I’m pretty sure no rookie has drawn the kind of defensive effort from every team.
These chicks STILL hating on CC?! Monica didn’t even play in the league y’all look up her stats smh the other girl went #1 and a near bust
Dude in red xcross thingy tucks "it".
Ogunbowale would be a better comparison to Clark let’s see how each stacks up. This is an objective analysis-who cares about her name-as I am talking about per basketball analytics.
Ogunbowale: 5’8
26.2 pointS 4.6 rebounds 5.5 assists 3.1 Stl
Clark: 6’0
15.6 points 4.9rebounds 6.0 assists 1.4 STL
Who is the best at basketball-you decide. Who’s have the larger fan base-you decide. At the end of the day they both are in the WNBA and contribute to it in different ways.
No names should be called, racial slurs thrown, no participation trophies, no one should get on the Olympic team based on their name as the Olympics is about winning a gold medal( since that were the case Ogunbowale would be a better option if the matrix is solely on performance if it’s on marketing Clark would be the better option). Her fans should stop trying to force feed her down everyone’s throat. Just because the like doesn’t mean everyone will. She’s not everyone’s cup of tea. So just get over it already.
Why is ESPN spending money on these losers....change these people before your viewership collapse
2-3 seasons before she will be one of them ones. Right now, fringe all star. Will only get better w time.
She probably will make the All-Star team because of fan voting however she isn't a All-Star by her play on the court that's for certain.
Chelsea hasn’t turned ball over this season. Yeah that right she is not playing yet this year.
@marsharichmond165 In fairness though, no one in history has averaged more turnovers per game than CC. Ever. Men or women in the pros. So it’s safe to say no matter who you name they don’t turn the ball over since no human that’s ever played pro basketball turned the ball over as much.
@@antoniosamuel922 you are right. Lots of turn overs. How many are due to her vs poor play by teammates? CC vs world right now.
@@marsharichmond165 more on her, have you watched the games? and her defense is luka ish
@@marsharichmond165 Her teammates have played with other people, and somehow those players didn’t set the record in turnovers. She’s third all time in college. She’s the worst pro that ever lived lol. How is that her team? The consistent person in this turnover equation is her since it’s the same no matter who she plays with. I respect the fandom though. Ever number 1 pick goes to a bad team. None of them have been the worst turnover machine in pro basketball history.
@@davidfam2147 yeah get it. Hard to play when it is 1 on 9.
Clark needs to stand strong. She represents ALL young girls who face the same threats everyday at school, at the park, hated for being white and straight.
She represent nothing…turnover maybe
Who’s hating her for being white though? Why can they get along with EVERY other white girl, coach, staff etc but they can’t get along with Clark because she’s white?
Being white in America is nothing new hunny. We see white people everywhere. You are aware that MOST white people hate black people with a passion. I mean we have 400 years of proof. So stop trying to position everything like it’s racism-isn’t that what yall tell us?
Cope @@Jricks1992
Yeah….. being a straight white woman is torture. 🤡
@@YouAREyoubeYouthe other white woman in the leauge bow down to the blm lgbtq agenda.
Didn't sound like Monica answered the first question😂. I think Ogwumike definitely answered the question best
Do you think - hard to do but try - that this has an impact "Analytics show Caitlin Clark receives 60% more Defensive pressure than every other team in the WNBA"
Caitlin will be a goat when its all said and done. But imo I believe JuJu Watkins will be the one to come in and average 20 plus per night as as rookie in the WNBA. She's still a sophomore at USC and has 3 years left of college possibly. But her game is all around WNBA ready right now.
She can drive to the basket, shoot from mid-range, and hit three-pointers with consistency. Her physical strength allows her to hold her own against tough competition, while her endurance ensures she can maintain a high level of play throughout the game as well.
IM SAYING!!! I think Juju is the real deal, her ball handling is so smooth, she a hooper for real
yeah i saw a little bit of her last year, star in the making if she keeps working on her game
JuJu might be The G.O.A.T. 🐐 when it's all said & done. 💯
I don't think so. She'll have a lot of the same issues but not the same noise around her. Not sure about Paige when she comes to the W.
@@fabioexplores 2 Jews!?
This stuff about turnovers is annoying because Luka Donkic lead the league in TOs last season. LBJ leads the NBA in them. OK he played 20 plus seasons but still, if you look at TO leaders in both the W and the NBA, some of the best players turn the ball over quite a lot. And yes, being unselfish and turning the ball over is a learning process. So, let's give the TO thing a rest. More to the point is Caitlin needs more versatility in her game. Use of a floater. A reliable midrange shot. She needs to get more free throws. She needs to work on her ball handling. Those are the things she needs to work on. I don't think she's as bad defensively as people say and she has games with multiple shot blocks. She has quick hands and can poke the ball away, especially from bigs. I see signs where she'll be a solid help defender. She's on a poorly coached team and she's missing her best chemistry player right now, Temi, the big that sets great picks and rolls well to the basket. I think she'll be better next season and maybe 2 years she'll be there. But I'm sorry, the nonsense and over-reporting on her on non-basketball crap, like Carrington's tweet, needs to stop.
Perkins should had done A follow up question, Asking when or how long did it take for you to have A mentor.
CC is the most full court pressed and blitzed player with 57 times according to WNBA stats which is more than any totals per team let alone per player. That is the most respect they have with CC yet CC delivers 15pts, 5 rebounds and 6 assists
Chelsea Gray hasn't played a game since October and is without a return timeline for her injury. Let's see if she pulls 2-3 defenders every trip down the court. The truth is in the game. Teams clearly respect Clark's threat. Monica had reason early but she's quickly assumed the dump on Clark role on every panel. She keeps running on about this being a strong league. She never played in the WNBA.
The truth is that they know that Caitlin doesn't have good handles and that she gets rattled under pressure. That's the reason for the turnovers.
The gap is huge. You have a professional rookie and a bunch of adolescent like petty and jealous lil women who can't seem to be professional.
These “Ladies” ate full of jelousy
Clark’s statistics CURRENTLY are the SAME as Jackie young and Clark is a Rookie. 🤷♂
They love and sound so excited talking about players that don’t do well.
Go around the league and look at how most 2024 Rookies minutes are compared to Clark. She is literally been given EVERY chance to succeed while most Rookies are collecting RUST on the Bench. Clark's usage is up their with VETERAN players. The Team that the FEVER last beat, has ZERO rookies now playing because all 3 of their Draft pick are from out of the Country. Even the Suns top draft pick won't be playing until after the Olympics. There are literally a Rooke rusting on the BENCH that is better then Clark. So before folks go comparing Clark to proven VETS, she first has to Catch up to her own Rookie Class.
Who else is here and watched first CZcams video on wnba because of CC. Didn’t know there was still a league.
Fourth in assists straight out of college is elite, she’s likely getting warmed up and will go on a tear in the second half of the season as she adapts.
A rookie will lack the physicality, experience of the pro game and grind. That’s a given. No one should be expecting her to play like a 10 year pro.
This is why I love Monica and why I love she had that "situation" with SAS; she is becoming more famous. She addressed Fever's talent around her. That being said, CC still needs to improve herself; the physicality is definitely something she has to address. But we also can't deny the talent around her. It is not like she has those turnovers in a team like the Liberty and Ace's talent. I think she is going to have a big jump next year or after the Olympic break.

Good points in the video
She’s the best player in the league, she’s guarded twice as heavy as any other WNBA player and still shittin on em and bringing a whole new dynamic of fans to the league
Willing to keep up with CC ' s stats and rooting for her, but the WBNA and Olympic team has ruined their chance of my support.
Catlin Clark is the Jackie Robinson of the WNBA. In a few years we will see every team honor her by wearing her jersey number in a game.
Caitlin Clark is 3rd in the league in total assists those above her have played more minutes. the person leading the league in assists is 2nd in turnovers and that person made team usa has been in the league 10 years with the same team has a mate on the starting 5 how much closer can you get lol so much chemistry so obviously turning the ball over wasn't the reason for not being on the team. Only 10 players in the whole league with more total points scored than cc and they all take more shots than her. she shoots 90 percent from the foul line. She's 2nd amongst guards in total rebounds the person above her plays more minutes. 2nd in made 3pt field goals person above her plays more minutes. top 10 in total steals & top 10 in total blocks. That's a lot of top 10's playing guard. The Aces have 4 players on team usa 3 currently playing they been together for years cc shoots better than Kelsey plum who is on team usa from the field and foul line has more assists way more rebounds blocks and steals whilst kelsey has 3 other team usa players 2 currently playing, a guard on her team matching her numbers more efficiently and an inside out player the mvp averaging 29pts 12 rebounds and 3 blks so what is the criteria? The aces are 7wins 6 loses. phx is 6wins 7 losses with 3 team usa players .(All that chemistry? one of the team usa players on phx the back up has better numbers than her shoot better from the field shoot better from 3 turn the ball over less commit fewer fouls more steals same rebounds blocks and about the same assists in less minutes. For somebody to not make the team when the team has a history of selecting the best college player. she's coming off back-to-back national championship games straight into the wnba she's being face guarded picked up full court 94ft double triple teamed trapped intense media coverage scrutiny if there is anything to do with gap here we're certainly not talking about it.
She is shooting 37.3 percent from the field. 33 percent from the 3pt line and avg 5 turnovers. That's before the last horrible game....
Caitlin Clark finished with as many points (7) as turnovers (7). She shot just 3-for-11 from the field, including 1-for-6 on 3-pointers, and had four rebounds and six assists... she is not efficient enough
The treatment of Caitlin Clark by the other players and media has been disgusting. She put the WNBA on the map, it will be popular because of her. Years from now, when her story is being told, this treatment won’t be forgotten.
There is no diversity on this crew!!! 😂😂😅😅 Where is the outrage, Stephen A Smith? ESPN is so woke!!!
This is diversity in 2024. Did you miss the memo? LOL
@@danielhackney7806 Let me check my email, I think I did missed the memo 😀😄🤣. I hope racist ESPN go out of business today! The sooner they go out of business the better for racial relations around the world!
They're only using the turnover stats.. Her points per game and assist is better than players that was selected for the WNBA Olympic team
Shooting percentage is sub par too bruh
Y’all gotta start taking the good with bad. Y’all only talk about how much points and assists. I’ll give her the rebounds, cause she’s a great rebounder for her position. But she’s a defensive liability, and she’s not knocking down her shots. 5.5 turnovers is terrible for a PG.
you're right --- because her points & assists per game averages are so great that her team is winning so many games... SMH
She was terrible last night. 7 points and 7 turnovers, and shot less than 30% from the field.
Can't turn the ball over and expect good results
ESPN has gone too far. They are going to make this situation dangerous if they keep it up. Knock it off!!!
Why aren’t they in her corner… oh wait… because they’re haters!!!
Actually seemed fair to CC which is shocking.
All this time CC has kept silent. I don’t understand these heaters trying so hard to bring CC down. What’s their $&@$ing problem???
Not sure what they said that made it as though they were hating? They said she will find her stride in year three
She playing like hot trash …nothing to hate
@@YouAREyoubeYouExactly. Literally said the Fever as a team needs to grow around her to support her play. Like, getting players she can inbound to who can hit layups. 😂
Why don't they stop talking about her and talk more about these other WNBA players then?
She is one of the stars of WNBA , it's just that her teammates aren't up to the pace of her game yet and it;s causing turnovers, once they get used to playing with each other the turnovers will stop, I;d argue her ability to run the game from the point guard position with her passing is her greatest asset and not her shooting.
CC ‘s biggest problem in the WNBA is that the whole league is trying to shut her down and the hate and jealousy coming from mainly black players is pathetic she is saving their league and actually making people interested in watching 👀
Why is this even a discussion? Let the girl get just learn and grow.
If her teammates ran the plays correctly and could catch the ball her turnovers would be 2/3rd less
Why didnt ESPN talk about Angel Reese getting slammed by Thompson, but always talking about Caitlin getting fouled and flopping?
If you think Clark flopped your probably just a hater. Im not saying she never flopppes , but that play was no flop and was a normak reactiom. Thats why Carrinton looked so stupid and pety mocking her.
@@soda8736 she flopped and she doesn't have good balance if a small bump makes her fall over and instantly looks at the ref begging for the calls!
@@terrylegend7669 she didint fall . Look at the play.
@@soda8736 I ref and I played at a high level so ik what I saw!
I haven’t heard anyone be friendly (as in supportive, not just random required nice words) towards CC … and I’m saying this also agreeing with the frustration, conveyed by Carrington, of the hate-mongering trolls attaching themselves to her name … I really liked this discussion here re: a young person needing support … (also agree with a commenter that AW deserves her own clip, she’s amazing … )
26 triple doubles in the entire history of the wnba and Caitlin clark almost drops one like 14 games into her career lmao.
In every sport many superstars do not perform to expecation in their rookie year as it is a learning curve going to the pros. Don't believe the hype!
Please don’t make CC as your topic and don’t use her just to elevate other players please 🙏🙏🙏
Caitlyn and Indiana made the records of attendances and ratings 😊
CC may not have a spectacular games but she does draw about 10000 more fans than any other team.
Clark is already better than them and far more interesting.
There is no stars in WNBA. Maybe in a tiny microcosms, but sayin WNBA starrs is reaching. That's why you have Caitlins name in every title, and not anyone else's.
It should be how far is the gap between CC and the elite for attendance records and ratings 😊
CC is braking records for the fastest rookie in scoring and assists 😝😊
It’s a huge pay gap between CC and The W.
They will catch up with her, NOT
And just like that.... even in a WNBA discussion.... Perk inserts that man, a weasel you called him, taking someone else's shine you said.... why then bring up his name?... why.
Does she have a mentor? Because Magic has publicly said he would love to talk to her!
The media and the Caitlin agenda is excruciating
All the rookies were playing in the NCAA tourny, literally less than 2 months ago. Relax.
18th overall on the worst team in the league as a rookie isn’t bad
Another diverse panel…. Lmao….
Bro they wanna talk about the turnovers but no one is being guarded like Caitlyn and her team is hot freaking garbage. How many times she pass and her teammates are fumbling or not paying attention. The opposing team can literally put all 5 people on CC and not worry one bit!
Exactly they ignore that
Clark is perfect and it's everybody else's fault...We already know this
Huh?!? How do they guard LeBron?!? HAVE YALL EVER PLAYED SPORTS? HOW LAME U SOUND! LET JORDAN BE ON YA SCHED? TOM BRADY?! U BRINGING YA "A GAME" !! DID U NON-ATHLETES SEE HOW THAT GIRL PLAYED HER IN THE CHIP (THAT SHE WAVED OFF THE YR B4)?!? MY Dallas Cowboys get everyone's BEST GAME!! THIS IS DUMB and as a competitor u want them to (to measure yourself)
Good point… It’s like when a QB gets credited with an incomplete when the receiver drops the ball… They did address that a smidge though… But it wouldn’t matter what she did… There are so many stats. Whatever narrative people want to support, they will likely find.
Stop with the excuses we're 14 gms in man... put up or shut up...
