WNBA fans are excited about Caitlin Clark because she is having one of the best WNBA rookie seasons that we’ve ever seen.
Caitlin Clark has broken eight WNBA rookie records through only 26 games. It is very realistic to expect her to break a few more once the WNBA comes back from the Olympic break.
Some of these records aren’t just rookie records either. Clark set a new WNBA single-game assist record (19) against the Dallas Wings in the Fever’s final game before the WNBA All-Star weekend. This is among all WNBA players.
Clark has also broken the WNBA rookie record for most double-doubles in a season with five. She is also only behind Courtney Vandersloot’s six games among all WNBA players.
She has also set some records you don’t want too. Clark’s playing style lends itself to the occasional turnover, but she has turned that into a record as well. Clark has already broken the WNBA’s single-season turnover record.
That does not mean that Clark is a bad passer though, far from it. In fact, Hall of Famer Rebecca Lobo declared that Clark is “the best passer in the league” during an interview on SiriusXM NBA Radio.
We can’t wait to watch Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever again after the WNBA’s Olympic break.
