I never thought I would have so much fun watching a basketball practice. The season can't come soon enough. I've already printed out the year's schedule and am chomping at the bit to watch the first preseason game.
@@frankiek2269 Rebounding is important. Fever already had Boston 6'5", and Smith 6'4" bigs and picked up Fagbenle 6'4" and Samualson 6'3" who plays like a big. Now Taylor ACC defensive player of the year '22 and '23, and B10 defensive player of the year '24. And Clark was no slouch with 950 rebounds at Iowa (just 158 fewer career rebounds than Cardosa). And to top it off, all six of these outstanding rebounders are shooters, which Reese is not. I agree with you that the Sky got what they needed for their organization, so did the Fever. It will be a fun ride watching it all come together this year (I can't believe I'm saying this, I've never watched a live WNBA game before, just reruns!!).
This team has shooters to deal with. They can shoot. Caitlin looks very strong here. Those passes are unbelievable. The Fever will be fun to watch for the next few years.
Two plays in this video really illustrate why Caitlin is so hard to deal with. 3:50 she calls for a screen from Nalyssa… Nalyssa’s man has to switch to Caitlin who gives him a hesitation like she’s going to shoot the three… he goes for it and she blows by him. Celeste’s man has to help on Caitlin who immediately finds Celeste in the corner for a wide open three. At 5:40 Caitlin gets a screen from Boston and gets the switch… Boston rolls and Samuelson’s man has to help down so Caitlin whips a pass across her body to Samuelson for another wide open three. Caitlin’s threat from deep, her pacing with the ball, and her court vision result in a LOT of open shots for her teammates…
One thing I've noticed, because they haven't started running offensive plays yet, is that when Erica is point and Caitlin is a #2 shooting guard she just stands in the corner on the left side of the basket waiting around for the ball or to grab a rebound. They need to start developing some offensive plays where the guards penetrate and circle around causing some havoc for the defenders.
you're welcome. And I agree.... so much growth in store with this bunch. They get only five practices before their first preseason game -- then a condensed seaosn.
Her vision is top tier. At the 5:41 mark most reads would have hit the roller but she slung that rock to the top of the key right in the shooters pocket. Can't wait to watch her play in the league now.
Besides Caitlin that obviously everyone wants to comment on the biggest thing I noticed was the speed…even at practice and also the skill level of all the players. Good stuff - and I love how Caitlin is so humble…her teammates will all lover her.
Even the passes that aren’t highlights or don’t look like anything out of the ordinary ARE out of the ordinary. She’s putting the ball right in the shooting pocket of her teammates. And she’s even able to determine the differences between her teammates and where they like to catch the ball and put it exactly where it needs to be. I’m seeing the Fever in August. Excited for it
I think a lot of the skills Caitlin has is because she loves the game. She is not a one-horse-show, she shoots, passes, dribbles, penetrates defenses, etc. It' been a long time in any sport that I have seen someone who loves the game so much. I remember one of the old timer MBL players said he would play for free because he loved the game. Now THAT is a real player.
I think so. Although listen to my post-practice video of Caitlin. She says after a week away, she's ready to get back to basketball and focus on that again. And there's no time needed to get into shape, etc. But a slump seems inevitable because of the schedule -- especially if factoring in Team USA.
@@ScottAgness Alyssa Boston said everyone will hit a wall and have to be carried by their teammates as they play through it. AB said that, for her, she hit that wall after the all-star game last year.
I have heard commentators saying Caitlin would have a hard time in the WNBA because of taller stronger players with 'mom' strength. I believe she will adapt, improvise and overcome. This video proved that.
Even if she never takes a shot , her passing skills are unbelievable.. Her court sense and vision will free up many of her team mates for easier shots . If they try to stop Clark , she’ll find an open team mate . It’s all about winning and shes all that ! Haven’t watched the WNBA for quite a while .. Will now .! Clark is bringing new fire to the league , look at preseason ticket sales ..Teams are finding bigger arenas to play in . Everyone is going to benefit from this influx of ability .
She can dish out the rock better that most male college players. I stopped watching the NBA years ago when it became more about the show than the game. I've been enjoying womens college for years and now for the first time I'll be watching the WNBA. South Carolina, Iowa, Uconn, and other's are really putting out some really good talent. It's a good time to be a fan!
I'm so happy she's here in Indiana. It would be like striking gold if the Pacers drafted a certain 7'4" 300lb Boilermaker. The stars would be aligned for me!
I've noticed that about Caitlin's legs also in Basketbal shorts her legs look Normal size, but when she went up on stage in the draft wearing that white mini dress you could notice how powerful her legs looked.
I’ve never watched WNBA… not remotely close to college ball. I’m going to be honest I’m not gonna be able to watch ALL the games but I will be having notifications of all the new girls from these next couple years for their teams to see how they’re doing. I got Brink, Clark, and Reese’s teams all notified to I can keep up. Hope they all do good. Cant wait for Juju and the others thrive! Especially in this new age of media for women’s ball.
Even with how incredible her passes already look, imagine when her teammates start to gel a little more with her, and knowing where to be to get the ball from her. I mean, Hannah Stuelke dropped 47 in a game for Iowa- that's what CC can do for you.
is that Samuelson from UConn? I haven't watched any WNBA since Bill Laimbeer coached the Detroit Shock. Was a big fan of the Bad Boys, so I watched the Shock. I enjoy the college game and CC has me eager to watch WNBA this season. I liked Samuelson when she played at UConn. I hope the Fever put on a good show every game so that this league can have more success.
This offense is looking very similar to Iowa's; multiple shooters on the perimeter, multiple ball handlers. rim-run, up tempo, and score in transition.
Yes. It’s a noticeable shift that Caitlin isn’t bringing the ball up Court, and there are even possessions she didn’t touch the ball! Not a LOT. Still notable. It’s Pro now 💪
@@TheXena23 When she's on the floor at the same time as Erica Wheeler, you have two point guards and Erica is the vet. I'm guessing that, for practice, they'll run Caitlin in the shooting guard position just if they need her there. I think she's too small for the forward position on the Fever, so she'll probably rotate between point and shooting guard, mostly point.
Clark had tough time fighting around the great picks those girls make! She needs better defense too! The game is much faster than college indeed! And boy can all those ladies shoot well anywhere! Clark will elevate her game playing with better people as that always happens!
Caitlin wasn't hitting as much in this session and most likely because she's obviously in a very different, more demanding and higher paced environment and she's having to re-establish her range and confidence........she acclimating and getting comfortable all over again. But I did notice that after she missed a few shots, she then shifted to passing and making key assists........that is both smart and selfless.
practice players. Usually former college players. And yes, already uploaded several more. Will continue to do so. Thanks for watching and (hopefully) subscribing
So much focus was placed on her scoring record that few people noticed that she finished number 3 all-time among women in assists with 1,144. I'll admit to being a little bummed, as a stat fanatic, that she came so close to, but didn't reach 4,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. Another 49 points and another 10 rebounds...she might have only needed one more game!
came back to checking out those video , found from the very beginning , Sides was trying to run the offense though Wheeler , wonder why Fever had been so bad early on ! no it run though CC a lots , the result been totally opposite , and more fun to watching
I think they will let CC be her. As they should. She's had so much success doing so. But she will have to adapt some, just like the rest of the team. WNBA is a whole different ball game -- and just 12 players on 12 teams. Best of the best.
@@ScottAgness I think she is all about getting the best opportunity to score, even when passing to teammates. These girls are a lot stronger than her college teammates, so she will not feel the load to do everything by herself. I think she is fine with that.
To all the alleged CC fans who say they never watched the W until she came along: 1) please spell her name correctly. It's spelled C-a-i-t-l-i-n. And 2) It's okay to learn something about the ins and out of the W before you make comments.
After being a baseball, football and basketball fan in the 80's, here's me staying away from sports for about 30 years. Then I hear about this guy , some Tom Brady fellow who at that moment had FOUR Superbowl rings already! Wow. He made me follow football again. Football, nothing but football. Then, last year I hear about this player, Caitlin Clark. Now, after more than 30 years of not watching a single basketball game, I am watching her team practice and I CAN'T WAIT for WNBA season to start. Man!!! Some people have just that kind of impact, you know.
![22 MINUTES of Caitlin Clark's FUNNIEST rookie quotes [PART TWO]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/XDFv6MEM6aM/mqdefault.jpg)
I transitioned from never watching a single WNBA game to watching the WNBA practice. Caitlin has made a significant impact on women’s basketball 🏀.
100%! That says it all right there ... and you're not alone
Exactly lol. Clark is a pioneer for the sport.
But she hasn't done anything yet
@@ArmandoMorales325y'all be saying some dumb stuff u said pioneer?? Ur hilarious
@anthonytaylor7928 by not doing anything you mean bring the highest viewed basketball game in over 5 years?
I've always been interested in basketball but never paid much attention to it, Caitlin makes basketball exciting again
I never thought I would have so much fun watching a basketball practice. The season can't come soon enough. I've already printed out the year's schedule and am chomping at the bit to watch the first preseason game.
Foreal tho I’m too hype lol
The Indiana Fever TH-cam channel never posts this video. Thanks for uploading this video.
I got you! Be sure you're subscribed for a lot more to come. Thanks for the feedback.
Everybody trying to be a Deion Sanders JR. 😂👌🏾
@@ScottAgness Just subscribed. I noticed you post/repost stuff their channels don't. Thanks.
Great video. But I think the Sky getting Cardosa and Reese will make a bigger difference than Clark and Taylor. Rebounding is key.

Love and appreciate the men helping these women elevate their game. 😍
Yup I think it’ll help them get a leg up
What
Who are those guys?
Even women’s college teams have men “grey squads” or whatever schools call them to scrimmage, sometimes drill against/with their teams
what the hell lol
This team has shooters to deal with. They can shoot. Caitlin looks very strong here. Those passes are unbelievable. The Fever will be fun to watch for the next few years.
I just realized the have Samuelson. Sheesh this team is nice on paper

too bad her own teammates, coach and GM despise her.

she's great

Thank you Scott it will be great to see the progress of the team going forward once they get to know each other
you're welcome. And I agree.... so much growth in store with this bunch. They get only five practices before their first preseason game -- then a condensed seaosn.
That 5v5 footage was fantastic!
I'm glad you enjoyed. I'll have more coming. Thanks for watching and be sure you're subscribed.
So excited to watch Caitlyn Clark games with new team
Hey they looked great. I can't wait for start of the season..
lets go caitlyn!!! im watching caitlyn and angel all season!!!
Her vision is top tier. At the 5:41 mark most reads would have hit the roller but she slung that rock to the top of the key right in the shooters pocket. Can't wait to watch her play in the league now.
Thank you for the deeper inside look at how their practice has gone so far, I appreciate you sharing.
Love the pace, looking forward to the Season.
The practice was fun to watch. I would definitely pay to see this team practice on regular basis. Definitely worth every penny
😂😂😂😂
Thanks!
appreciate that!
Besides Caitlin that obviously everyone wants to comment on the biggest thing I noticed was the speed…even at practice and also the skill level of all the players. Good stuff - and I love how Caitlin is so humble…her teammates will all lover her.
She has so much star power. I can’t wait to see her team play.

her passing is phenomenal and going to make things much easier on her teammates. They just have to learn to be aware and in the right spot.
CC is going to be a starter, and do great! Just wait and see!
Yep, no doubt about it.
Did you not see her running with the starting 5? She’s already a starter they start in less than a month 😂
@Zayb3lll Well of course I did!!! ,,
@@user-xn7tq1qh5r so why you say just wait and see like she isn’t already starting in the first game in less than a month
@Zayb3lll Because she hasn't actually started in a "game" for them yet! She is great, and will continue that greatness in the WNBA for the Fever!
My heavens, they sure give the men one heck of a go!
I think a lot of the skills Caitlin has is because she loves the game.

Has to be hard on all the rookies who played late into tournament
I think so. Although listen to my post-practice video of Caitlin. She says after a week away, she's ready to get back to basketball and focus on that again.

I can watch this 3-4 times
I dare you ;)
That scrimmage at the end was LIVE!
Beautiful work💪🏾😎💯
I have heard commentators saying Caitlin would have a hard time in the WNBA because of taller stronger players with 'mom' strength. I believe she will adapt, improvise and overcome. This video proved that.
Her new pro -level coaches are equipping her to deal with "grown women".
She has to play defense. We shall see.
Clark looked pretty good, the team looks good early on great footage
Missed all of her shots got scored on mostly every play… quit lying to yourself
Wow! Fast movement! Fun to watch.
Can't enough of this stuff! Love it, another comment said went from not watching WNBA games to watching practice, me too ! Awesome
Future GOAT 🐐
Way to go Caitlin!! 👏🏼🎉🎊👏🏼
These midwest gyms with the brick always looked so classy.
I like CC but i will be watching the whole team !! Go Fever

may have to start watching the Fever.... three great players added in two years... this could be some very entertaining basketball
How long do they have before the Gym has to be converted back to a Bingo Hall?
I normally could give a damn about these types of videos. I'm impressed, they've got some shooters on this team.
The Fever look pretty good already. Hope to see them when they play in Chicago.
the Lord is happiest when His children are at play.... ❤❤
nice bounce pass for the assist caitlyn!!!
Wow Caitlin Clark and Girls against Guys! Good Game!!
They do this in college too.
Let’s go Caitlin! I’m too hype lol
3:19 What a dime.

this is more enjoyable than the NBa playoffs
THE DEFENSIVE EFFORT YESSSSS
I'm so happy she's here in Indiana. It would be like striking gold if the Pacers drafted a certain 7'4" 300lb Boilermaker. The stars would be aligned for me!
The heat is on
Muy caliente…very hot!!!🔥🔥🔥
I've noticed that about Caitlin's legs also in Basketbal shorts her legs look Normal size, but when she went up on stage in the draft wearing that white mini dress you could notice how powerful her legs looked.
I WANT MORE

How did you get in on this practice? Are you with the staff?
That dude who fell into Clark trying to block the shot was prob holding his breath that she wasn’t hurt 😂, chill on the close out bruh 😂
right away, I turned to the guy next to me and said -- "he's fired. hahaha you can't do that!"
Even with how incredible her passes already look, imagine when her teammates start to gel a little more with her, and knowing where to be to get the ball from her. I mean, Hannah Stuelke dropped 47 in a game for Iowa- that's what CC can do for you.
lets go ladies!
lets go clark!
Wow just wow
Hard work gonna pay off good luck.
Same here, never watched a game andI'm getting excited for..... the wnba!!! 😂
Who are the guys they are practicing against?
🐐
Girl hit her first practice 3 pt. We are in for something!
remember this video in few years
I dont see LH where is she in pravtice?
yea thIS is quite more intense than a typical college practice. non-stop. however its about adjusting which is nothing
What kind of contract do those guys have to sign? It’s be an interesting contract to read imho to be the wnba practice opponent.
Clark needs the ball in her hands for this team to be its best
and it will. Much more than we saw.
She feeling like a true rookie right now. She playing with chicks that are vets and good af.
is that Samuelson from UConn? I haven't watched any WNBA since Bill Laimbeer coached the Detroit Shock. Was a big fan of the Bad Boys, so I watched the Shock.

Only watching because of Ms clark
As with everyone. No one cares about the wnba
like how they put them against the guys to .builds up speed and stamina.smart by coach and women done well
This looks like middle school basketball with perfect highlights
Watching grass grow is more exciting than a WNBA game.
Compensating 😂😂😂
They need to let Clark bring the ball up the court.
What is that, a middle school gym?
Future MVP
I'm curious who are those men helping out for the workout?
Also, are you going to upload more vids?
