2nd Segment: Caitlin Clark

What draws people to Caitlin Clark?

  1. Lots of bombs while playing for a good team.
  2. Consistently delivered on the biggest of stages
  3. We’ve had time to know her. (my daughter mentions her TikToks)

How do we think it goes in the WNBA for Caitlin Clark?

  1. What kind of player will Clark be in the WNBA? The shooting seems like it will translate, BUT is she going to be able to get these shots off? It goes poorly if there’s quite a few players that can lock her up and bigs who switch and can guard her. I think she’s mostly going to be able to keep doing what she’s been doing. The vision will translate. Her DEFENSE seems like it will be a big question.
  2. Did you watch the WNBA last season? Will Clark increase your viewing? Could anything else? May 14 the season begins. June commissioner’s cup. Break for the olympics. Final in October. 40 game season. League Pass “donation.”
  3. Click here for WNBA Broadcast Schedule. ABC, ESPNs, Amazon
  4. Want to try and points / assists prediction for Clark? I’m going 17 points and 6 assists.

Anything from the Clark appearance on SNL on Weekend Update?
