Is Caitlin Clark Overrated Or Underrated?
Caitlin Clark has a lot of haters. Although she’s been spectacular so far, many people think she’s a lot worse than the competition. I think she fares well against the competition.

    I just feel so bad for CC. Imagine how excited she must’ve been to enter the league and learn from the best, to be challenged and to have the opportunity to evolve and grow her game. And then she’s dropped into an incapable team with a clueless coach, in a league where everyone seems to just have animosity towards her. It must be gut wrenching. I hope she stays strong and doesn’t loose her joy! If I were one of the vets in the W I would’ve been ecstatic to have the opportunity to take a generational talent under my wings and show her the ropes. What a sad situation…

    I’ve always said that some players just pass the eye test. The shots we have all watched her make over the last 3 years speak for themselves. She makes passes and sees the court as good as any female player I’ve ever witnessed. Leading an Iowa team against perennial powerhouse programs like South Carolina, LSU and UConn is no small feat. If she didn’t pass the eye test she would have never caught been noticed by the LeBron and Steph Curry and an entire country.

    2:25 3 more turnovers can be the difference between 6-9 points scored by the opponent. That’s a whole loss if your opponent capitalizes on each turnover with points. Yeah, those turnovers are a huge deal for CC. Also, she like bottom 5 for plus minus in the league. CC is a complete defensive liability playing with little to no effort on the defensive end. Are you watching the games? There’s a reason they’ve only beaten the worst teams in the league.

    but he makes the point, in another video, that (a) turnovers might be CC's fault, or the receiver's fault, or good defense -- so they're definitely not just CC's fault -- and (b) she's learning how to pass in the pros, with a lot more defense on her, and she's going to need to experiment. so (c) you definitely do NOT want her to stop learning how to assist, since that's one of her strengths and a major plus for the team. but so many commenters on YT are all about "oh she has so many turnovers!" as if she needs to stop passing. lol.

    thank you for being simply LOGICAL. ppl forget that CC is a rookie, that is getting blitzed multiple times every game, that gets doubled multiple times every game and she is getting picked up defensively full court of 3/4th of the court multiple times a game. and she is still up there. overrated? in my books she is pretty damn perfectly rated, especially taking into consideration she seems to be completely incompatible with the last seasons #1 Aliyah Boston who is drugging her feet around the court while CC wants to run as fast as possible. She is also playing for one of the worst teams in the league, coached by (most probly) the worst coach in the league. And people really wanna call her OVERRATED.

    Carter! I was really happy that Mick (Mick Talks Hoops) mentioned you today. He said he saw your video and commented he thought it was an excellent idea for a video. I'm happy that you're showing up, that you're in view. I have dozens of KZread channels bookmarked, but there are only a few I tend to go to because they have original content and are not just a KZreadr in the corner commenting on someone else's video. Yours is one of those. By the way, along another line of thought, and this also speaking about if Caitlin is overrated or underrated, I watched another KZreadr who made a point and expressed it in a way no other person had said. Well they've commented on it, but he stressed it over and over. He said he would not be able to compare any other player in the WNBA to Caitlin because he doesn't know any other player who is picked up 94 feet and who is face-guarded even when she doesn't have the ball. Then he described face-guarding. One example he mentioned was Aja Wilson. He said she doesn't get guarded 94 feet, that she's not guarded until she gets to the three-point line. And she's the best player in the WNBA. I thought it was a good point. I'm sure people could agree or disagree, but I still found it an interesting point.

Remember, she's supposed to be 'transformational' and this transformational character is supposed to be because of her basketball skills (not because of some non-basketball related quality like personality, looks, being Irish Catholic from the midwest, etc). So she was never expected to be just another rookie as part of yet another rookie class. The betting markets reflected this.

    Well in that case, given the strange collusion between the mainstream media and so many channels deriding one girl from Iowa, Clark has been underrated at this point. (Geno so she has the wrong build for the wnba, so she better just hang em up.) - It's hard to believe that she developed a top five player stat line, so fast, on the worst team in the league and then people would say she's not Olympic material. (Not to mention the old and over the hill players or her unique skill set. ) Just because she couldn't carry (possibly) the worst team in history, that has zero teamwork, out of the basement people say she's a failure. One has to wonder if these people ever watched any basketball at all, was their line of logic they would have canned the too little, too weak, NCAA GOAT Steph Curry after his first year in the league he "made" the warriors go from just 29 wins down to 26 wins. - now that you think about it, with all of this wisdom and the media it's no wonder that the WNBA has been such a success.

    @@chhabrialowe9416 that's exactly the right type of question. If people want to understand how things are the way they are it requires looking under the hood. First we would need to define terms, but traditionally by media we mean the major Media or the legacy Media. Understanding the output of these would require taking a step back enough to see what the overall narrative is that they are putting out, and then to contextualize this to some degree by looking at the corporations that owned them and the initiatives of those owning corporations. Generally what we're seeing from the legacy Media is a narrative of the legacy WNBA holding some authority and this justifies things such as the quote welcome to the WNBA quote abuse or leaving Clark off of the Olympic team. Even more interesting than the generalized statements that are being put out on the headlines of ESPN or Yahoo is what happens when when are they were talking heads departs from the party line. It was interesting how the couple of lines who said contradictory things to the legacy position were immediately clamped down upon and in a very harsh way with accusations of ethical wrongdoing. Stepping away from that legacy Media and then going towards Facebook or KZread we can see that the channels which promote the legacy Media position get a lot more promotion than the channels that are either derisive or simply offering critical examination.

    I think a good measure of expectations is the betting markets because this reflects people actually putting money on the line rather than just blowing hot air. She was 3rd for MVP in the betting markets. She’s not even close to that. Her numbers aren’t reflective of that, her team record isn’t, and to the extent her numbers are decent, her numbers are more like Bradley Beal on the Wizards or Trae Young-HIGH USAGE players with INFLATED STATS who are liabilities on defense and don’t translate to WINNING. On this basis, she’s OVERRATED.

    Fun Talk! The subtext could be: Should we apply even handed judgment to all players? If not, then when does (other) sport context come in - like team mate and opponent patters? Also, what is her game impact (unique skills, clutch)? Clark would be the 5th best on this Olympic roster If judging by her WNBA stats: 2nd in assists 10th in scoring 4th in 3 pointers 4th in steals 8th in rebounds Depending upon how you weight the stats, she's around the 5th or 6th best and while other players get easier stats on good teams, Clark is on a team that gives her zero assists, pulls zero double teams on other players can't catch passes, won't box out for rebounds, leaving her to fight dbls for her shot.

    You bring up a point that's missed by a lot of trolls and self-appointed gurus: Caitlin can't do everything by herself. You brought up something that really bothered me about the last game against the Sun. You mentioned sets. That whole game exhibited ineffective screens and sets; it's a wonder Caitlin got any shots off at all. In the Mystics game, I saw Caitlin running around in the post and running by a good screen from Katie Lou Samuelson, opening up just enough space to get a shot off. She did this repeatedly, and it worked. Then, the Sun game, and no effective screens. By the way, I've noticed there seems to be two types of people commenting in videos about Caitlin: 1. people enthusiastic about Caitlin and the Fever, and 2. people who get off throwing barbs and other unproductive comments in the mix from behind the shield of obscurity, which is the internet. I like listening to knowledgeable KZreadrs who make intelligent analysis and fun commentary. I know a lot of other fans do too. It's fun. Then there's this group of condescending people who have nothing better to do than to roam around and interject negative and vituperative remarks that serve no purpose other than to inflate these troll's sense of self-worth.

One thing I've noticed about the CC haters on topics like this is that they like to throw out a lot of straw-man arguments ("her fans said this..or her fans claim that."). When in reality, discussions like this, regardless of who the player is, is very complex and require a lot of context. For example, the haters love to point out her high turnovers as proof that she isn't all that good, but don't take into account what percentage of those turnovers are bad decisions on her part, and what percentage of those are as a result of her teammates doing things like bringing help defenders into her passing lane or just standing around and not moving to the ball to relieve her from a trap or double team.

    So what are legitimate criticisms of Caitlin Clark’s game in your view? I see a lot of CC fans who take any criticism at all as “toxic” rather than viewing it as good faith ANALYSIS. I started watching the WNBA finals on a whim last year but never really watched before that, got drawn in to watching women’s college basketball this past season because of CC, and have started watching WNBA games regularly. But I see some pretty big holes in Clark’s game that certain fans seem oblivious to. For these folks, the problem is always the coach, the other players, or even the “league” itself (whoever in particular that is supposed to refer to) for some tinfoil hat plot to sabotage her for whatever reason.

    That trend - the trend of unwarranted negativity and vituperation - was born out of the front-runner college programs, whose fan bases (and coaches) feel entitled to win over any program they deem ''less'' - which of course meant losing to Iowa was unacceptable. So when they did lose to Iowa, look out, here came the tantrams. The problem was, since they are used to bullying and more bully ball in return as the norm, they didn't know you can't bully Iowans. Truly. We've done too much farm work, developed our culture through too many labours of endurance, and done too much wrestling, and played too much basketball, to be dissuaded or even debased from that which we value. We value providing the chance for growth. Fundamentally this is how we support our athletes. We support them win or lose - yet to be raised and coached with high expectations of character. Clark is this, in spades - doing even more than we could hope for, from any one citizen. Her humility, team spirit, and charitable focus (the moment fame came to her she wanted to share to benefit others) inspire our continued support much more than logo 3s or deep tourney runs. So this is where the rub comes in. Those entitled fans, who were offended by Caitlin's success, by her way, by her Iowan'ness, wouldn't let up on Caitlin, they still haven't... and we are not going to give up supporting her. They've never met a fan base like ours. We aren't going to just meet their barbs with barbs - we're going to be right beside Clark as she pushes for higher standards. The counter to the Clark Wave wasn't born just of the monopoly programs' fans, but also of their coaches and players. - I've never seen so many adults (coaches) go to low, lying, spiteful angles just to try and diminish a player (and program) that they believe should be below them, and boy did they get triggered when someone innocently began talking about college GOAT status for Clark. We recognized Clark in the spirit of wonder and fun, GOAT ''crowning'' is something that we never took too seriously, I mean, it's not an official title from the Queen after all. But, we found out, for the Gatekeepers of WBB, it is that imaginary ground they are fighting for! "GOAT" was THEIR title. Or course it was all funny, until it wasn't - until they tried to shinola our amazing Coach. Now Bluder has been a brilliant leader and is an amazing person too. She didnt' fall for the baiting insults, but she took note of the foul atmosphere and coming weather. Then the WNBA came, and the real, compelling issue. Not the jealous words. Not the unwarranted insults. But the violence. The violence - towards Clark, towards women, towards athletes, in public nonetheless, sanctioned both in play and in general, came as a shock to us. To be fair, maybe we should not have been shocked. Most of us had an idea, an idea that had kept us away from the WNBA, that that league was not a healthy one (to put it gently). What we hadn't realized was that Caitlin, or that young women regularly would be targeted, physically. Nor could we have realized that she would be iced out, then subjected to a focus on supressing her talent (noted as unique in history by several retired players), and that all of this would even extend to her own team mates. How could we have imagined that when she not only has harmed none but brought great joy, inspiration, fun, and even charity to many? Clark was right - not about them having ''woke a monster'' in her as a player - but rather that a sleeping giant has been awoken, a giant who is all those who look over her. Despite those stawmen (that Stephen notes), we aren't too concerned about wins & losses. While we do hold a belief that her talent will prevail, eventually, our concern is that she have a chance at fair play. Yet our greater focus now is on her well-being. We don't abide by bullies, we don't accept the violence, nor the abject support of it. We recognize that the WNBA is full of illness, institionalized abuse - making it a league where each new generation gains acceptance through being subject to abuse and then perpetuating abuse upon the next generation. Clark will break this. She already is bending it, by holding herself up, higher - She's not speaking of it, even while in the midst of the fray as she is. Rather she continues foward, unbending from her purpose. On the contrary, she will reach out to the next generation positively (she already offered mentorship to Juju, although it remains to be seen if Juju feels free to accept this offer), and Clark will not do this alone. The support she has from her family, her alma mater, and the greater Iowa community has always been the groundswell that she can draw upon. She has our support unwavering. She understands that 'all of this' is bigger than her now. When she signs autographs for countless little girls, her wish for them is that they can have experiece like her own in Iowa - one of support, organic growth, inspiring expression of talent. She does not want them to experience something like this iteration of the WNBA. Clark is going to break it. She is going to break the WNBA, as it is. They know this. Well, they see the possibility of her being the spike that splits the facade. (Whereas we, giant together needs must, swing the hammer behind Clark). Their fear of her Immediacy is precicely why they kept her off of the Olympic team. It's not jealousy. It's not to claim the spotlight. It's their fear of her, and the immense gravity behind her. The gig is up. The self-serving, at the expense of others (the many women who did not reap benefits), of the wbb gate keepers is coming to an end. If Clark had gone to the Olympics, she would have seized the torch. Rather, the people of the world would have placed the torch within her hands. Even if she only played 5 minutes per game, the world stage would have seen that the moment was becoming hers, becoming the era of a new type of player - of a new type of person for the women's basketball. So yes, for some of the trolls this is just an opportunity to vent some itch held against a '''type'' of person. For others they've come to find a new avenue for their hate-commenting habit. Some are genuinely confused, not knowing a true and supportive fan from a troll, nor that a deeper narratives now compels an overdue reckoning. This won't end up being about Clark, valiant messenger though she may be. She knows it's about those girls who look towards her example. It is also about the many other WNBA players, the silent majority, whose good nature has been overidden, exploited. I can't tell you how shocked I was to see, today, a most visible organization protagonize wanton violence against women (even if between women). The level of injuries, essentially forced retirements, and notoriety from the WNBA outstrips all other leagues. Apparently it was the cover of the ignominy that allowed such a distorted system to continue. But now the cover has been lifted. Our hope is that the repairs won't be too costly.

My image of her is no longer the Tom Brady of women’s basketball, but a sad washed up bitter woman desperately clinging to records she knows will be broken. Deep down they know how good Caitlin is. They’re basketball players. They know she’s on a completely different level, and the only way they can beat her is to destroy her together. Pathetic.

    Here's another way to look at it: Let's say you have a track star (we'll call her "Runner A", for example) and you have her run the 50-year-dash. It takes her 10 seconds to complete it. I know, that's a bad stat, but bear with me here. Then let's say you have another runner (for the sake of argument we'll call her "Runner B") and she runs the 100-yard-dash in 10 seconds. Now, it would be true that Runner A finished her event with the same time as Runner B. But the distance isn't taken into consideration. Well, that's the same as comparing Angel Reese (Runner A) with Caitlin Clark (Runner B). I mean, Angel Reese scores 10 points (give or take) while Caitlin Clark scores 16---but Caitlin Clark is being double teamed and shooting from a distance while Angel is only guarded by one person--and her points typically come from rebounds underneath the basket following her own missed shot. So, there is no comparison between the two if you just want to go off of pure stats without taking other factors into the equation. And it's the same for just about every other player in the WNBA as many of them are NOT being double-teamed while Caitlin Clark is.

    Overrated means that a person's performance/output doesn't align with their outsized reputation compared to the performance and reputation of their contemporaries. She could be overrated but still good. If there was a player of equal numbers and ability to her but doesn't have that hype then that player would either be underrated or rated as should be. So overrated/underrated are relative terms that depend not on the performer but on how we react to them.

That's ok. You can come back to reality now. Like not trying to cover for Taurasi. Remember, it's not ''what'' you say, but ''how'' you say it, and she says it in a way that is always about elevating herself over others (she learned this from Geno, whose every comment about others is a circling of the UConn wagons). Just yesterday Taurasi talked about how, as a rookie, she was mentored by Olympians. Co-Olympians. She was so high on herself that she missed the look, when she flexed on having ''3 championships'' instead of seeing that the natural progression would be to offer Clark mentoriship.

    Relax youngblood. CC will get her shot at the Olympics. Full context, Caitlin Clark started playing her most recent college season in a preseason game in October. She played into April 2024 in the final game of the WNCAA tourament. She gets drafted in the same month, and 2 weeks later she is play preseason pro ball. She never had an opportunity to even practice with women who had played intl BB together multiple times nor has she every practiced with them. Her last opportunity was the week of the final four, leaving CC choosing between her college team playing for the Natty or trying out for a team that was only looking for 1-3 players. CC is 10 months in with competitive womens basketball. The body has its limits. CC is a very good BB player and she is balling now. She needs a team build around her, then we will see her professional greatness. One day soon, Chicago vs Indiana will meet to decide who goes to the Finals. That game will be Magic and Bird all over again...two polarizing women basketball players meeting in a championship game. The future if womens basketball is in good hands. Then you have the next 3 classes in college. Expansion cant happen fast enough. These girls and women can play! CC needs rest. She knows why she didnt make the team, and she is good with it. Her day will come.

    That's why they call it hype. You have to remember that all the players on Team USA also play defense and I mean straight-up in your face defense. CC gets her steals and blocks doubling from the weak-side. Hey, she's good at it but not as a straight up defender. That's why the Fever take her out when they need a stop. Can you name another superstar who's pulled at the end of a possible close game when the opposing team has the ball? No one on Team USA is I assure you. Nepheesa Collier ( Khal-eyer) is a center/forward. The guard for the Lynx is Kayla Mcbride, She didn't make the Olympics either. Here are her stats: 33.1 mpg, 17.8 ppg, 3 rebs, 3,8 assists, 49. 8 fg% 51.7% from 3( she also leads the league in 3's made) and shoots 92.1% from the free throw line. Turnovers per game: 1.4. Those are some impressive numbers. Oh, and 2 turnovers more per game for an individual player is a lot. Turnovers and blocks are predominately in the low single digits for players. Would you say someone averaging 3 blocks a game isn't that much better than another who averages one? If all the Fever starters averaged 5 a game that would be 25 not counting the bench. What team can be expected to win with that?

Some may have had unrealistic expectations of what Clark could do from the jump, but there's a reason for hype and it ain't about race, gender, or sexual orientation. Even with the constant face guarding and double teaming (because coaches know how dangerous she is), she's still competing at the WNBA's highest level. Before the end of this season, Clark will torch some team for 40.

    @@davidbodie544 That's all fine & dandy that doesn't address anything about the experience aspect, which those players have an abundance of in Euro league & FIBA. Not to mention ppl complained that she had too many games in a short span & against too good of teams, so for ppl to have that logic & be mad she has a month off instead of 10 more games in the middle of the season is also illogical. She went from the NCAA season to the draft then the WNBA all in a month, she needs a break, she said it herself. Also ppl complain about the team (that had just a 2-3wk training camp btw), that month will be a perfect time for them to get in the lab & work out some kinks. CC doesn't need to be a part of everything & everything that doesn't go her way isn't an attack on her.

    @@davidbodie544 Nah, I'm not convinced Clark can play off ball and with other great players. At Iowa, she had the 2nd highest usage rate in women's college basketball. She has only proven to be effective in Mike D'antoni offenses that must bend over backwards to give her the ball. Team USA is built around more of a Celtics / Spurs / Warriors offense of perpetual motion ball movement. It's also how the Team USA Coach Cheryl Reeve designed her Lynx offense.

    You know exactly why we say she's overrated. Because when her cult says she's the goat and when we disagree they say we're hating. She only gets trapped because she constantly calls for screens. She doesn't really score at all without them. If you can't score on your own that says it all . I'll tell one more thing, the cult only wants to hear good things about her. So if you're being fake just to please them you better just keep it up. Because as soon as you say something bad about her they don't like, they're gonna unsub from you. That goes for all of the channels .

    This is very easy analysis. Right before the season, Caitlin Clark was 3rd (yes 3rd) in MVP voting odds in the betting markets behind Wilson and Stewart. This means people were actually betting money and not just blowing smoke. Is she the 3rd best player in the WNBA? Not by a long shot. Hence, she is overrated. Geno Auriema made a similar point about certain delusional CC fans.

    Auriema is a salty old man throwing shade on CC because she helped drop his huskies in the final four. Dude actually said Paige Buecker’s game would translate better than CC because “she’s’ a distributor”. Meanwhile CC average over double the number of assists of PB in college and currently sits 4th in the WNBA in assists.

    @@Calidastas I thought his points about i) her problems with handling physicality and ii) delusional fans thinking and betting that she’s a top 3 player were very apt. He could have also added that she only tends to thrive in situations where the team drops everything and has her the focus of attention, which results in HIGH USAGE RATES and INFLATED STATS (eg, like Mike Dantoni type offenses with Harden, Lin, Trae Young, etc) but that never leads to championships. Paige Bueckers will probably translate to the WNBA better because she plays in a Warriors / Spurs / Celtics style system where the ball never stops moving and everyone knows how to play off the ball. Paige already has the complete game, has a mid-range, is also a much much better defender.
