Caitlin Clark is Now LEADING The WNBA In Assists... In this video we are going to be talking about Caitlin Clark, the number 1 pick in the WNBA draft and how she is ready to take over the WNBA. People want angel mccoughtry to be signed by the fever. In this video we are going to be talking about the WNBA. THe league is growing with Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Cameron Brink, Diana Taurasi, Breanna Steward and A'Ja Wilson who have all been incredible
BBALL Daily:
THe basketball youtube channel of the well known NBA 2k youtuber DBG. This channel is ran by a former Irish international and former Irish Superleague basketball player who also has won multiple national titles as a coach at both the high school and collegiate level in Ireland. this channel will talk about nba news, nba stories as well as basketball news from all over the world
The video of Caitlin giving her game shoes to the little girl was so cool. ROY no doubt!
its a thing she's been doing since Iowa. I think she had a Nike NIL deal.
MVP
Let me get this straight--the coach does not think the person who is leading the entire league in assists is point guard material??
I don't blame the coach
Assist/turnover ratios
Trae Young 2.48
Luka 2.43
Lebron 2.40
Alyssa Thomas 2.06
Caitlin 1.40
This is a gift. Now we can skip watching the Olympics. Caitlin can get some much needed rest. Who cares about basketball in the Olympics anyways? Not me. It's boring as hell.
@@TheMeefiveonly one of those players is a rookie
@@kiriagosbauer2044 A good pg should strive for 3.0, which is a 3 to 1 ratio. OP was questioning why the coach does not think Caitlin is a good pg. It's because she has the worst assist to turnover ratio in the history of WNBA pgs.
@trhansen3244 are you saying you don't give 2 💩 💩 s ?
She would have 300+ if her teammates can catch her passes. 🤣🤣
..truth!
And can finish a lay up or 3 foot shot..haha
💯
which they're getting better at. would definitely have helped if the coach had supported that happening.
@@jonathanlabbe4711 no, that would not have affected her assist stat. are you sure you're following this?
I think the current assist record is 224 and CC is already close to 200, i can see her hitting 275-300 assists by the end of the season.
Record is 316
The rookie assist record is 225
@@clarkkent1521 the rookie assist record is 225 from 30 games. CC has 194 from 25 games so far. The regular season record is 316 which Alyssa Thomas set last year.
@@clarkkent1521 that's really in striking distance especially with one of the easiest remaining schedules.
@@shauncampbell4371 I think she might break the record before the end of this season. If no Olympics, she would have broke Alyssa Thomas's record.
And what’s important to Caitlin is the team effort. Her assists mean others are scoring. That’s what she says. Of course, I’m sure she’s aware of her stats. But her attitude is tops.
^ this
Number 1 in assists, 14 in scoring, 19 in Rebounds, 14 in blocks and number 9 in steals (once they update how she is higher number and percentage than Reese and Thomas). Only Stewart and Collier are in top 20 in all those categories. Among guards, Clark is 6 in scoring, 1 in assists, rebounds and blocks and number 4 in steals. None of the guards on the Olympic team can claim more than 3 top 20 spots. Clark does it all. ROY is over.
for Blocks, i think she's the only guard in the top 20.
Player efficiency Reese #26 (18.7) Caitlin #36 (16.9)
Win Shares Reese #15 (2.6) Caitlin #51 (1.0)
Offensive Rating Reese #52 (105) Caitlin # 84 (98)
Defensive Rating Reese #43 (99) Caitlin #110 (108)
None of the guards on the Olympic team spent the past 20 odd games playing alongside teammates who cannot or will not pass the ball for someone else to score though. As I had to explain to someone else, CC numbers are this great because she plays with a bunch of players who either cannot pass the ball well or care not to. Case in point was the Fever's game against the Mercury. Despite both of them playing for over 30 mins each, neither Kelsey Mitchell or Nalyssa Smith had a SINGLE assist between them. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
Now compare that to a team like the ACES, look at their game against the Mystics. SIX of their players had AT LEAST TWO assists and ONLY TWO of those players played for 30+ minutes. Actually the person who had the most assists Chelsea Gray (6) was only on the court for TWENTY minutes. The Aces are not alone in this, if you check ALL of the top teams in the league you will find this kind of distribution in assists and that is why they are at the top.
People who argue that if CC was playing with one of these top teams she would have had 20 assists per game clearly do not understand that it is because she is NOT playing for a top team is why her stats are that high. The players in a top team know how to pass the ball so that someone else can score. Even Kate Martin who was on for only NINE minutes was able to record TWO assists.
Well, then who is?
Exactly. I just looked up those same stats.
Alot of people are comparing assists to rebounds, but it’s not just about the numbers of a category. Deeper anaylsis of the numbers are needed to differentiate who can be considered as ROTY.
CC by far has achieved so many more milestones as a rookie and in some cases, ever in the history of the WNBA. When those milestones are looked at, CC should be the front-runner (by a mile) to AR. It shouldn’t even be close at this point. I guess a narrative needs to be created to keep the conversation going, since there’s still half a season to be played, but at this point, CC is going to keep pulling away further ahead.
Yup, and one very easy method to show that rebounds and assists aren't a 1-to-1 comparison and how much easier it is to pile up rebounds than assists is simply to look at what the top rebounding vs assists numbers are - the top rebounders ALWAYS average many more rebounds than do the top passers in assists anywhere you go, WNBA, NBA, NCAA... using only this year as an example:
- Clark leads in assists with 7.8 per game.
- Reese leads in rebounds with 12.0 per game. You have to go down to 11th on the rebounding list to get to where it matches Clark's 7.8 number.
- LeBron led the NBA in assists this past year with 8.8, which would only be 14th on the rebounding list, where Davis led with 15.6.
- Clark led the NCAAs in assists this past year with 8.9, which would be ranked around 60th on the rebounding list, where the leader was at 15.3.
I saw Angel get 3 rebounds in 3 seconds. Missed layup, 2 blocked shots, 3 rebounds. Horrible!
Caitlin has the MOST turnovers in a season IN WNBA HISTORY. 139 with 15 games to go
@@TheMeefive It's doesn't matter if you get the win it's the main goal to get the win and go to the playoffs
@@gamessportsmusicmovieschan2930 Why didn't you say that to OP? Chicago is in the playoffs at this point.
@@TheMeefive Caitlin is a rookie. Caitlin is face guarded all 94 feet.she is constantly double teamed and blitzed. She is a ball handler. Teams number one goal is to stop her.LeBron James has over 5,200 turnovers. Give her some slack. She is a rookie.
I’m sure you can make layups all day while a power forward and a center is hitting your arms, chest, stomach, etc.. You the type of CC fan that’s horrible. What are your accomplishments in basketball? NCAA Champion? Hell no.. Most Double Doubles in any league, shucks you can throw in the peewee league? Nope… But yet, so much criticism for someone doing something that you can’t come close to doing.. smh.. You saw Angel get 3 rebounds in 3 seconds, guess what genius, none of that equated to a turnover.. That only gave her team more opportunity to score which is kind of a good thing in basketball.. Just saying.. Congrats CC for becoming the Assist lead, congrats to Angel for leading in rebounds!.
The sad thing is if the Fever win again tomorrow Dunn will be convinced Sides knows what she is doing.
that is true - imho - sides n dunn c the wins aas justifying theirnbs game philosophy - only because CC takes over the pace/game do they win
Assist/TO for Clark over the last 15 games is 1.6 with 8.6 assists per game now that she's settling in with the team. For those of you complaining about TOs, bull. She's doing an amazing job for that many assists. Over the same period, 16.8 PPG, 6.1 Reb, 1.7 Steals, .8 Blocks. Unbelievable for a Rookie PG, the TOUGHEST position to learn.
Damn I am so proud of Clark. The crazy part is Clark might take down the rookie and regular record for most assist in a season. She should have the rookie record in 3 to 4 games. it's crazy Clark is 1st in assist, 10th in steals, 14th in points, 14th in blocks, and 19th in rebounds
Love the show but damn are you not seeing the crappy % for Reese down low? Or the crazy amount of missed layups
He just praises her.
In Angel Reese's last game vs the NY Liberty, she had 16 rebounds, 8 pts (on 3/13 shooting), and oh yeah, 1 assist. SIX of her rebounds came off her own missed layups. Soo ... still, quite a good rebounder, can't shoot, can't (or won't) pass, and a mediocre defender - a recent look showed Angel with just 7 shot blocks, while point guard Caitlin Clark had 17. Not to mention that Clark has transformed the league ...
stat padding rebounds LOL
Congratulations CC, this is absolutely incredible for a rookie to be leading in such a major category!! For awareness for EVERYONE on this channel, I’m an Angel Reese fan. See how easy it is to congratulate someone without downplaying, criticizing, making ridiculous claims about their accomplishments.. I would love to see CC fans congratulate Angel in the same manner. And the end of the day, these are two young phenomenal players..Love them both..
Hear, hear!
False.
You started too, but then decided to take a passive aggressive shot at Clark fans.
If you were really about what you say you are , your comment would simply say -
“Hey, Ima big Angel Reese fan, but I must say, Caitlin really starting to shine.”
But your snarky “see how easy it was for me to compliment Caitlin???”
Undermines your compliment entirely.
@@MINNESOTA_PTSDI’ve thought CC was shining since the beginning of the season. In fact, I personally love her game. My comment was not snarky, I was making a direct point. I read the absolutely worse comments towards anything great Angel Reese accomplish from CC fans all the time which is ridiculous.. They are both playing their butts off.. Yes, im an Angel Reese fan at the same time I’m able to appreciate what CC is doing as well without having to speak negative about her or her game.. At the end of the day, they are both two brand new rookies that are breaking records..
one thing you can count on, CC will congratulate AR. for her accomplishments, no matter what they are.
plus they'll work together well in the All-Stars. looking forward to seeing that.
@@MINNESOTA_PTSD actually no -- that was a worthwhile comment, to AR and CC fans both. and to haters in particular.
it's useful to be reminded that loving one player doesn't mean hating other players.
aja wilson rebounds and efficiency is insane and having angel reese's name near wilson is an insult beyond measure
SHE'S GONNA DESTROY THE ROOKIE RECORD BY A MILE
Reese is getting her own rebounds, Aja hits her shots so less opportunities
If it's true that Christy Sides and Lin Dunn have tried to slow down Caitlin's running offense, sometimes shooing her into the corner, the number one ranking is even more remarkable.
Yes it's true
To rebound you have to be under the rim. To assist you have to be able to move around the floor with your eyes open looking for the right player to throw to.
Yup, and then of course that player receiving the ball has to secure it and then put it up and score - both of which have been problems for Fever teammates at times. All these reasons are why it's much easier to accumulate rebs vs asts, and hence why it's much easier to accumulate double-doubles in pts & rebs rather than pts & asts.
Better stat, the all time assists per game leader is Courtney Vandersloot with 6.7, Sabrina is #2 with 5.9. CC doesn't qualify because she played too few games but is at 7.8, over an apg more than #1 all time. Interestly, Angel Reese is 2 rebounds per game ahead of #1 rebounder all time, Sylvia Fowles. Pretty crazy that potentially the best passer and rebounder all time are in the same draft.
I can deal with you . Don't look like you are 1 sided
You know what’s funny? Caitlin Clark is top 10 in player standings in all categories except for blocking and rebounds. Where she’s top 15 in blocking and top 20 in rebounds.
Somehow she’s not ROTY yet? Psh.
My bad she’s also top 15 in points.
Rookies are not supposed to lead the WNBA in assisits. Only Mark Jackson of the NBA has ever led as a rookie. She is the ONLY WNBA rookie to ever lead the WNBA in assisits. Lets see how it lasts. If you base it on th past half dozen or so games, she will average double digits!
Clark has more than 100 more points than Reece this season. There is no comparison.
CC is also leading all guards in blocks and rebounds. She is also in the top 10 in steals.
i read a comment on another video that said, rebounds= missed shots, assists= made shots. pretty good distinction.
What are you talking about impressive, 12 rebounds? Have you watched the slow slug jump and rebound....im guessing at least 3+ rebounds per game are off her missed airball layups. You need to stop saying she's a good player, she's about as good as an average varsity player on any high schools boys team. Shes literally terrible!
Facts!!
To date Reese has 54 points off put backs that breaks down to 2.3 points per game. So she clearly doesn’t get all her rebounds off her misses. For context Boston is right behind her with 50 points off put backs.
Can we just give credit where it’s due? While Caitlin is clearly ROTY, Angel is having a heck of a rookie year!
Can we just give credit where it’s due? While Caitlin is clearly ROTY, Angel is having a heck of a rookie year!
this is true but you dont want him to alienate all Reese fans or caitlin clark fans. this guy is a basketball fan
Mick.. I think Aja Wilson is already in the Goat conversation.. She’s on a whole different planet.
Sadly, we have to consider the probability that Christine Sides witll f*** things up against the Wings and for the rest of the season.
The coach was sacrificing games to keep Reese relevant with rebounds. Too bad she wasn't allowed to shoot for her. lol
People keep bringing up CC's turnovers. Just remember: Reggie Jackson holds the MLB career record for striking out as a batter, but if you say he wasn't a great player you will get a lot of pushback. One stat does not define a player- it's the overall impact on the game.
@@jameswilson8103 Then look at NBA turnover leaders, names like James Harden, who led the league 6 times, Trae Young, Steve Nash and Russell Westbrook have led the league in turnovers, hardly bad company for CC to keep. It's important to look at usage rates in order to understand how turnovers are accrued. Luka Doncic led the NBA in turnovers this season.
@@jameswilson8103LeBron has the most turnovers in NBA history lmao
@@jameswilson8103 Wrong. She won 3 golds already with the US junior national team, including as the tourney MVP in her last one after her freshman yr at Iowa.
And yes, the turnovers are really bad, but she has a good chance of also breaking the all-time assists record this yr too. You talk about comparing apples to apples, ok then here's an actual legit, fair comparison to some of the best ever - Clark's ast-to ratio compared to the rookie year ratios from arguably the women's GOAT, and the current assist record holder:
Diana Taurasi: 1.47
Clark: 1.40
Alyssa Thomas: 0.88
You wanted an apples-to-apples comparison, and as you can see, Clark is right there or better than those two. How about them apples?
Even though i find it both impressive for both and important to mention that as rookies this is insane! CC earned it all - you can’t stat pad assists because lets be honest, you need your team for the finishes and a lot of the times they miss or have butter fingers. So holy shit well done🎉🎉🎉🎉
Reporter: "Caitlin Clark now leads the WNBA in assists... she's amazing!"
Christie Sides: "Hold my beer....................."
Yeah, CC will get lots of assists if they run, but will Sides LET them run? One never knows from game to game!
I love Caitlin Clark… and she deserves all the praise. It is crazy that she’s leading in assists and even top 3! Wild and amazing! … just as a side note: Alyssa Thomas is playing with torn rotator cuffs. Pretty wild she’s number 2 in assists with limited shoulder rotation.
Rebounds are of all the stats literally the one stat that can be twisted and turned into something that it is not. One cannot rebound their own missed shot. Now it is not impressive to recapture your own miss from 3-5 get away
I wonder if someone could go watch each turnover and see what her stats would be if her team would look for the ball and then actually catch it.
Also, Aja wilso's rebounds are not from her 1, 2nd 3rd miss. She actually makes her layups bro. Be real.
The 1 stat that is dependent on others is assists. That is what makes it a more respected stat than rebounds
Yes, but it takes a miss shot to get a rebound.
I should have said teammates. Rebounds happen whether your team or other team misses.
Keep in mind: There are A LOT of Iowa grads from the Chicago area ... Four of my best friends in college were from the Chicago area and we knew tons of people from the Chicago area and visited lots!! (Sorry, Angel: but yes you have lots of fans too : ) ... Iowa City (U of I) and Chicago are only about three hours apart ....
To show the quality if this great rookie class. If Cameron Brink had not been injured this class could feature the league leaders in assists, rebounds and blocks! Just amazing. That's not giving others in this draft enough flowers.
❤ Caitlin please go play overseas. We don't want to support the toxic WNBA anymore and we will follow you overseas ❤
You know, assists may be a truer measure of skill than points. But if you can do both, all the better.
And Geno Auriemma was saying this is the worst draft class in 10 years.
She also has the record for turnovers in a season. The numbers are going to be crazy by the end of the season.
Both CC and Angel will continue to improve. And they're not labs under the basket they're vertical jump shots. And they do push each other around there and they can jump. That's the fever Guard got that block at the end.
REBOUNDS are equivalent to ASSISTS? When did this happen? I guess Magic wasn't that much of an MVP after all.
And, since when is 40% in the paint not 10x worse than 6 turnovers per game (for high usage)? Each missed shot (not 0 rebounded) is an turnover.
Mick I remember about 2 weeks ago the number of subscribers was about 6300 people.
"Classy" Caitlin Clark & Her Perfect Eyebrows are just too Good.
But how many of Angel's rebounds are from her own missed lay-ups?
Think about this though. How many of caitlin's points come from people setting screens for her. And many of her assists come from someone going 1v1 after the pass. When angel gets her own rebound, no one helps her. The screens help Caitlin to score and another player's 1v1 abilities helps Caitlin's assists.
@rarerock5020 just say you love Reese and don't have a clue about basketball. Based on your logic Magic Johnson was not good.
@bAkra60 i don't love resse. Just saying caitlin needs help at what she does and responding to the comment. I didn't say caitlin or magic wasn't good. that's what you got from it. But since you're bringing up magic, he's not a good defender either just like caitlin.
@@rarerock5020 is Reese a good defender? Clark makes her teammates better which is something very few in the WNBA have the skill set to do.
@bAkra60 reese can hold her own on defense and she guards the best player's at her position. As far as clark making her teammates better, i guess it depends on who's guarding her. I've seen slow defenders with two left guard her and she shows out. When someone like raven Johnson is on her she doesn't seem to make anyone better.
Can you imagine how many assists she would have if her teammates caught even half the ones they missed, or made half the subsequent shots they missed.
Aja Wilson will be the rebounding leader this year. You will get a glimpse of it tonight! Aja will also own the record for double doubles before the season is over.
If Sides hadn’t played Caitlin as a SG the first 10 or so games, this wouldn’t even be close right now
Absurd to think about how this class could’ve had the stat leader in three categories: APG, RPG, and BPG.
Her team is doing a much better job of finishing plays so now her passes are resulting in an Assist.
Don't forget, Brink would have lead blocks too if not for her injury. She is still way up there and hasn't played for a while. She would have improved too.
imagine if Brink was leading in Blocks this year... She had that ability.
btw...I'm surprised more peopel aren't talking about Labron James TO's..so many give her hell for TO's but sounds like Lebron was the highest in NBA
Caitlin is also like fourth in three pointer and has a lot of steals and blocks and the triple double. What else does Angel have? Caitlin also has 1000 on the beating pool. No way no Angel.
If Angel Reese wasn't that bad at scoring under the rim, she'll probably goes down to 10 rebounds.
Angel is a great rookie.
I wrote for CC and also like Angel. Angel will get better and they're hard difficult shots. They're like vertical jump shots. She needs to get that ball and be quicker on her release. Maybe a little bit of a fade away.
All the comments keep saying ROY. Let’s get real. If they went by stats and talent, then yes, but we are not. I hope SHE understands this and just continues to contribute to the Fever’s success.
CC is also in the 3-point rankings
Clark's assists are going up because her teammates are getting experience at expecting them and receiving them.
"I'm not going to lie, bwuot ...". Just part of what makes listening to you fun, Mick!
Its only half the season! You cant crown anyone yet. Someone gets injured. God forbid
If Kelsey Mitchell could catch, CC could get 30 assists in one game.
Ticha got 225 in 30 games as a rookie. Clark has to avg 6.4 over her next five to truly break record.
At Clarks pace she'll end up with 310. If she improves, she'll have a shot at all time single season record. imagine that.
@@boohoohoohoo what's the rookie record for most 3s in rookie season, she has 69 so far
@@slayer7682 i dont think she's particularly accurate at 3s
Hmm by your logic no NFL record has ever been broken since the league moved to more games 16 to 17 and thinking about 18
Very doable !!
The Aces are great without Wilson. The Fever are only a playoff team because of CC. That’s more valuable. CC for MVP
Well said, Millions and Millions people are Watching Women 👀 Basketball 🏀 👏 👍 🙄 😀 😉 🏀 👏 👍 🙄 😀 😉 🏀 👏 👍 now then ever, Caitlin Clark is the Reason why 😊😊😊 ..........
Caitlin Clark = TROY. Without a shadow of doubt if you smell what the goat is cookin'!
Great job CC22.
Sky needs to figure out if they want to win. If they want to win, Reese will need to be a role player with less minutes. Get Cardosa more minutes and run plays for her!
CC22 is Awesome,
but is she also leading the WNBA in turnovers?
Who cares if she is. Lebron is the king of turn overs, what is ur point??? To diminish CC🤡
Yep, and she was a turnover machine at Iowa too and it never affected them 🤷♂️
Anyone who dominates the ball is turnover prone, LBJ, Luka, Harden, Russ etc.
Indiana also as a team are down on turnovers...
She also averages more turnovers in wins than losses...
She is with 139. Next highest is Alyssa Thomas with 86.
How long do you think it will take her to overtake the career turnover leader, Taurasi? learn the game, those who handle the ball and make a lot of assists also lead in TO's, it's expected. Hall of fame level turnover numbers, that's what they are.
And blocks and steals for her team.
It's ashame that she just could stand under the basket.
Then all you have to do is catch your own rebounds and not have to pass to teammates and score 3s😢
Mick get ready to see the best rookie CC ever to lace them up ,the second half of this season, your in for a treat get your popcorn 🍿 🍿
Maybe if Aja Wilson would miss more of her shots she could be leading.
Angel Reese has those rebounds because she misses a lot of shots and rebound her own shots.
You can discount by at least 20% Reese's rebounds, as she picks up her own missed layups time and again. Stop trying to paint Reese as an exceptional player, inordre to look "impartial" and objctive. She's simply WNBA average.
If Angel Reese continue to average 12 rebounds a game she will do something that has never been done in a season
Especially if she keeps missing her lay up and catching her rebound.lol
@jonathanlabbe4711 if that makes you feel good. Why is it just Angel Reese i watch other players miss their shots and get their own rebounds. If i am wrong correct me that's is what u supposed to do
Reese is shooting REALLY badly from all areas. There is some question about her home statastition padding her "rebounds." Didn't we learn anything from Russell Westbrook?
I am sorry but cardosa would have shared atleast half of angels rebounds had the coach not remove her out the game. They realise that they have lost the last few games due to stat padding. I would not give it to angel.
Angel is a horrible offensive player and always has been. She gets 10-12 bunnies a game and can't make half of them. If she was even competent on offense it might be a race but right now it is almost a unanimous win for CC. She really can do it all, including defense which Mick doesn't get.
A year from now when CC is Reigning ROY and being talked about as an MVP candidate we’re going to look back and wonder how everyone including Mick got rebounding psychosis.
Angel Rees is a good rebounder and thats all. She is not a all start at all
I get why Podcasters, TH-camrs, and everyone trying to get subs likes to discuss ROTY but it's not even a race. Fans, media, old coaches, etc. all have their sentimental favorites, agendas, and bias', etc. You know who doesn't care about any of that BS? Sports books. People who care more about money than your feelings. That's the best way to end any of this nonsense about a ROTY race. Right now, Clark is a favorite anywhere from -800 to -1050, depending on where you look. Reese is around +450 or worse. END OF DISCUSSION. No feelings, just facts.
Cuz she’s the needle mover, the face, the queen, the baby GOAT and she’s just getting started bay bayyyyyy
Aja has been rebounding out her mind lately - I think she will be the top rebounder this season
She needs 123 assists in next 15 games to break the single season record.
All I see with Reese is her hitting the glass rebounding on her head and missing 5ft shot . What it this guy watching
Mostly her teammates are clumsy can't catch her pass
Brink would have led in blocks while leading in fouls per game
Why just put Clark's name in the title if you are going to spend half of it talking about Reese? If you are going to talk about both, put both names in there so I can choose to watch it or not. And the reason I like Clark is not only because of her greatness at basketball, but also for her 3.6 GPA in college. I do not like Reese because she had an opportunity that most people do not get, and she threw it away with a 1.8 GPA. I cannot respect that.
I think that was probably all she was capable of, you know?
A'ja Wilson is dedicated to embarrassing Reese and everyone who things she isn't the greatest. And specifically BECAUSE suddenly everyone is making a huge deal out of double-doubles. That's how it works when the media pushes a stupid narrative. A double double average has always meant you were a good, versatile player, but moving The Overton Window specifically for Angel pissed her off.
Guess what? That shift also internally pissed off CC, and you see her get a triple double and 5 straight double doubles. Just play it down the line and your favourite has a much better chance of succeeding (Monica McNutt and Sheryl Swoopes.)
Trust me when I say that Aja and the Aces in particular have no interest in any of this side show. They are all about *winning a Ch'ip for the 3rd time in a row* while teams like the Fever and Sky have to concern themselves about making the playoffs.
@@aliciamcdonald7105 good point. and that was CC's goal for her rookie year, was to make the playoffs. she plays for her team, and for women's basketball.
I wonder if this is why Sides is trying to take the ball out of her hands.
Angel Reese has a bum leg I don't see her keeping up this pace for the remainder of the year..hasn't anyone else noticed her limp...?
She's been leading the league for some games now. Use yahoo sports to check stats of wnba players, they break everything down.
Can u tell me why angel is being chosen to shoot the free throws at the end of the game..Carter was going for her career high and they gave the free throws to Reese WTF
Cream rising to the top.
ROTY is over.
Reeese haters coming on and saying URGH!!! Her turnovers 😂😂😂😂
DO YOU WATCH REESE GAMES? - Its not her fault, she is a very good player. However, she does not play like a dominating player on offense at all. Again, its not her fault how they score Off Rebs. I give her propts for her hustle. But I would take Cardoso over Reese all day long. She should be averaging around 15-17 points a game but she misses so many shots and layups that it sent her into the DD conversation. If she could learn foot work and touch when shooting then she would be impressive.
The record is 316 by Alyssa Thomas. looks like it will be neck and neck as Thomas as played 2 fewer games at this point.
In the NCAA she was the all-time leading scorer. But, in the WNBA she is leading only in assists. With a decent coach, she will do both. She has not reached her potential in the WNBA
She will not lead in points
CC's assist in college was >8.
Agreed! In the right environment, she could do it no doubt. I want to be optimistic that she’ll end up in that situation and have the opportunity, but it isn’t starting well for her in terms of being in a place where she’s free to score a ton. Time will tell, as it always does.
@BrianLewis-ls5pt
Have you followed her college career? She had 13 40+ games one 49. 16 triple-doubles! Subtract 1/3 for being the first year in the pros, and you get a sense of her staggering capability. The WNBA, right now, cannot guard her even with being blitz, full-court press, doubled, tripled teamed with the best defenders. Some teams have stopped guarding anyone else but her! When she plays IOWA ball Caitlin is unstoppable and she's still learning on a bad team..
