Like all young players, the Indiana Fever guard has some growing up to do.
Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark is one of the most complete prospects ever to enter the WNBA, and certainly the most anticipated.The belief that Clark's game needs some fine-tuning was echoed Thursday by Fever coach Christie Sides after Clark scored 12 points, pulled down eight rebounds and gave out six assists in an 83-80 exhibition win over the Atlanta Dream.
"I think she's used to some shots that she's taken in the last few years that are just those deep shots," Sides said. "She's gonna get open looks. She's gotta figure out—I gave her a rule the other day. She's got 0.5 seconds to make a decision." Caitlin Clark finished last night with 12/8/6 shooting 4/12 from the field and 2/9 from 3. While not her most efficient shooting night, she played an effective floor game.In college, Clark frequently carried her teams, averaging 28.4 points per game over the course of her career. With Indiana, that might not necessarily be the case.
"When she gets off the ball and she hits somebody in the high post, she has a habit of hanging out and dancing," Sides said. "That's what she's done. It's these habits that we've gotta break."
