To be blessed in your profession is something most people do not achieve. Luck and effort coexist in the same recipe to create success. Sometimes we need a little help to become the best version of ourselves, and there is no greater feeling than to give back what you recieved.
Caitlin Clark is without a doubt one of the most important WNBA players at the moment, for everything she does in and out the court.
One of the best players in her league
She is always in the talks about the next ROTY or MVP. Even though some people thought that the Olympic experience was going to decrease and worsen her game, time put everyone where they deserved. Most of players consider that her level increased individually and collectively right after Paris 2024, achieving an amazing assist record. Some veterans also think that she trusts her team-mates more, which leads to an enhancement of the team’s performances.
In her last game against LA Sparks she got her second career triple-double and she became the first rookie to make 100 3-pointers in their first season. Unbelievable numbers.
People discuss her abilities
Right after the victory aganist Sparks, the Fever’s guard was the topic of a discussion on the platform Reddit, where one of the most popular comment was: “I love CC, and she is a great shooter…from 30 feet on out. Why is she so bad and awkward shooting it from 5 to 20 feet?”
Well, Clark is about 42,9% between 10 to 20 feet from the basket. Stats now show a noticeable decline, getting to a 32.9 and 37% beyond 25 feet. In beyond 35 feet, her FG% is 0.
Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) drives on Los Angeles Sparks guard Kia Nurse (10) in the second half of a WNBA basketball game in Indianapolis, Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024.
The user argues: “She either tries this weird one handed floater type shot or simply won’t shoot it at all from this distance. For someone who can obviously shoot the hell out of the ball she has absolutely 0 ability in the way of making a normal distance jump shot. 99% of her points come from 35 foot 3 pointers or drives to the bucket. Honestly one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen.”

Either way, her development has helped her and Indiana. She has brought the team to a .500 record and to be the 10th placed last year. Her assists allowed Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell to earn points in the offensive while she got hers.
NBA glories like Charles Barkley stated that she has become quicker in her last games. He says that her slow start came from the fact that she went directly to WNBA after playing in the NCAA final.
She is not the old Caitlin anymore
There are still some nostalgic fans that remember her days playing for the Hawks, which was so electrifying to watch. She was the main attacking option in the lineup. Now Fever are more balanced and she had to become a two-way player, but has ways to go.
Many may think that she is not working on her mid-range game, but frankly there is no evidence that proves that.
