Sensational player Caitlin Clark has been sidelined since 15 July, but she still continues to be the hot topic of conversation in the WNBA community.
A few night ago, the Indiana Fever defeated the Dallas Wings thanks to a 23-point performance from Kelsey Mitchell. During ION's in-game coverage, analyst Tiffany Bias Pelton compared Paige Bueckers' rookie season to Clark's 2024 campaign.
Bueckers has been tremendous for the Wings, averaging 18.5 points and 5.5 assists per game. Clark, on the other hand, averaged 19.2 points and 8.4 assists per game during her rookie season.
After ION displayed a graphic about Bueckers and Clark, they turned over to Pelton for her thoughts. She said, "You can tell they are two different styles of players. Paige is getting people involved. Caitlin’s more looking for her shot."
This is a joke, right? The numbers are in front of you and you stil can't make the right call. Check the assists numbers again and tell everyone that Clark is not getting people involve. She averaged three more assists than Bueckers during her rookie season!
Sure, Clark is looking to light up her opponents with a barrage of 3-pointers. But the numbers are there in the screen. Look at it and it will prove that she tries to get her teammates involved. After all, she led the league in assists last season.
To the surprise of absolutely no one, WNBA fans ripped Pelton for her bizarre commentary.
"I’ll never understand this lol Caitlin broke the LEAGUE record for most assists her rookie year and they still refuse to say she’s an amazing playmaker," one fan replied.
"Paige has an exceptional midrange game and a quick release. I'll give her that. She is not near the playmaker that Clark is - no one else is," a second fan wrote.
"Who said this?,You can't be a league leader in assists if all you're doing is looking for your own shot," a third fan argued.
"Like can they not read?! The assists stats are right in front of their face," another fan said.
