Beautiful game. I coach HS girls basketball and I will say the skill level has been on a steady incline over the past 5 years. The game is growing so much and I love how young girls can keep pushing the threshold of what can be possible!
It is becoming fun to watch because for a long time, the women's game seemed so awkward. However, the skill level has improved. I didn't watch the WNBA for some time, but I am now. The quality of the overall talent is obvious. It is fun to watch now. The women's game rules summer, and hopefully longer soon.
More of them are developing their guard skills no matter the size now. More pace and space will provide more opportunities for beautiful passing to open 3’s and layups which is way more entertaining than post play
i also coach HS girls basketball, and I agree...but the covid years had a bigger impact on the ladies than it did for the boys. They had 2 seasons taken from them while the guys just 1. Anyway, after covid lock downs, it took a while for the ladies to get back up to speed, but things are progressing nicely now.
I think if we get more players like Caitlin Clark in the WNBA, more young girls will follow in her footsteps and try and emulate her game and her play. We saw the rise of the quick threepoint threats after Curry became popular. Lots of current NBA players are inspired by great (former) players. It might have taken a bit of time, but as the talent level for the WNBA increases, so will the enthousiasm with the younger girls, who will evolve and grow up and play themselves. We've seen this with the NBA and given enough time, the same can happen for the WNBA.
Among all the videos that blah blah blah and waste viewer's time, this is the first (maybe the only) one with real analysis of strategy. Thank you for the effort.
Some of those play show just how good Aliyah Boston is too in spacing and screens. I'm so glad her scoring has gone out of the slump and her confidence is back because that 1-2 punch with Clark is just so good.
And it's all on the court. She is absent from social media's approach to her stardom, which is making drama. CC is here to ball. That is why her game is the future, and backing her matters to woman's sports.
@@huckleberryharrison6248I like the fact shes a true pro off the court too, she shows great humility and self awareness. Something the league severely lacks.
@@malachistewart2947maya Moore till this day is my favorite wnba player ever idk how she stack against the rest but whenever I saw her I seen a pure bucket
@@malachistewart2947 You do realize that she is a Rookie who only played 26 games right now, riiiiiiiiight???? All those other players you mentioned ARE NOT Rookies, aaaaaaAAND They have been playing in the WNBA for multiple YEARS by now, or is retired. SHE IS A ROOKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how Caitlyn actually plays good basketball and all the other players are saying she’s not that good… I think she may be raising the bar for the league in terms of play and they’re scared of that…
@@BagavanSmokey she has modern fundamentals. (curry-esc). the wnba has reminded me of mid 2000s ball for a while. She has all the modern day fundamentals down. Shooting from 30+ feet so they can never go under a screen, excellent footwork while running through off-ball screens, always flaring or cutting with the right read, and she has really creative off-ball movement utilizing screens. It's been so cool to watch how fast womens ball evolves and progresses, due to the internet, the nba, and just how many skills there are that you can learn as a little kid that you'd never know about 30 years ago
since its existence. wnba play looks like fucking teenagers trying to play basketball. its pathetic. womens basketball is fucking pathetic. sports arent enhanced by women at all
Caitlin Clarks passing is SOOO fun to watch, of course I love when she bombs 3s but those dimes are amazing If the fever make the playoffs and play the liberty, Sabrina ionescu vs caitlin clark will be a movie
I think it is a little unfair to compare them now, as Caitlin clearly needs more development. Although watching Sabrina's in-game threepoint percentage doesn't reflect how well she shot in that 3 point contest with Steph at all. If this is the WNBA top 3 point shooter, why is her in game average this low?
@@pinobluevogel6458Looking at Sabrina's stats, she shot an absurd 45% from three last year on high volume. This year it is down to 35% on the same volume. I'm not sure why her 3 point percent varies that much year to year. You rarely see that big of a variation on high volume.
She had years to train her Iowa teammates, so it's impressive what she's been able to do in just half a season with Indiana. And if other teams start looking for the pass she should have more clear paths to the basket for herself. It's a Choose your poison situation for defenders.
Clark is absolutely phenomenal on every level. Her game has translated extremely well to the WNBA. By the end of the season she should win ROTY, make the WNBA All Rookie team, & make the All WNBA 1st team too.
She has been playing non stop since the start of her last year of college. If she can spend the off season improving her shooting % with a shot coach,, she could be in the picture for mvp next year.
Caitlyn Clark vision, anticipation and ability to process movement quickly is like something of an elite NFL quarterback. I have never seen many NBA players morless WNBA players with the ability to throw a player open like she does.
That bounce pass at 2:55 looks like it went between the defenders legs. I thought it did watching it live. But super slow motion it’s still hard to tell from that angle. Either way 1 sick nasty, no respect for the defense pass, I love it!
Two things: 1, she has basketball BRAIN. 2, she has put in hundreds and hundreds of hours of hard work. Not just putting in time, chatting with your friends, seeing who is calling you on your phone.
she's on another level that no one. not even those in the NBA right now can reach. yet, this is only the beginning. she is putting asses on the seat. i haven't felt something like this since the days of michael jordan. if they can get another player like that to rival clark. oh... the WNBA is going to be on fire! this could be the beginning of a golden age for women's basketball. NBA in the 1980s and 1990s was unlike anything as going to see the hawks back in the 1980s during the days of dominique wilkins were great times for me as a kid. my dad LOVED that team and we were lucky if we got to see them play the celtics or the lakers back then. this could be a great thing for every little girl out there as well as parents getting to see something beautiful.
Once she gets the turnovers down a little and tightens up the handle a little more, she’s gonna be one of her most efficient play makers of all time I think. The offensive opportunities she creates kinda rivals Steph in my opinion
If you total them she should likely have 1-2 less turnovers per game. As well as 3-4 more assists per game. If you watch, you won't believe your eyes at some of the bricks her teammates put up and missed layups off of perfect dimes. She's being handcuffed by what she is surrounded with. The reason her assists are so up is because they faceguard her from halfcourt and the whole defense gravitates towards her.
Yea her handle and footwork needs to improve and more consistancy in her shot and she's a winner for sure. I shouldn't be the one saying this, as my handle is garbage and mostly onehanded, but I'm not playing in the best paid women's league of the world. It is still easy for an invested NBA fan to see what the flaws in her game are. We should celebrate her strengths though, she is a really capable passer and decisionmaker, not to mention a real shooting threat, especially if she keeps developing that.
I know most americans compare her to Steph... but her game is actually way more like Luka's. Yes, she takes even more 3's then Luka, same as Steph.. But playmaking, vision, how she attacks the paint, P&R navigation... thats more like Luka.
@@Smido83 I'm missing the physicality, the subtle leaning in, the full stop after motion, the ridiculous misdirection and completely fooling the best NBA defense ever. Yes, I'm even missing the incessant yapping against the referees. Luka is a one of a kind person and nobody really looks like him on the court. I understand some of her smart decisionmaking and P&R stuff is influencing you to think this way, but I have seen a ton of Luka, basically every game he ever played in the NBA and almost all his international games, I just don't see it.
Great job can we get a Chicago sky breakdown. And how the the 2 draft picks in 2025 can help make the team better around Angel Reese, Chennedy Carter and Kamilla Cardoso?
People keep comparing her to Steph Curry because of her shooting but it really does seem like Steve Nash is the better NBA comp--excellent shooter whose #1 skill was still playmaking.
She doesn't let any of the haters coming from one group of people mess with her game! They push her around she makes more 3pointers! Her own teammates play against her she still wins the game by herself
Reminds me of Luka a bit. Such a ridiculously gifted passer and will punish defenses for the slightest mistake. While at the same time being fully capable of carrying a team by scoring if they put too much focus on guarding her teammates. Opposing teams kinda just have to pick their poison.
She reminds a lot of us of Bird, Magic, MJ, etc. I would like to see her 3-4 times a game post-up like MJ did. Nobody seems to stop her fade shots, so why not be closer opposite Boston to enhance her points. It would also open up some new attack angles and give her lungs a break.
They blitz less because she’s made the adjustment. She doesn’t pick up her dribble anymore and if they blitz she drives straight to the paint, or they foul her, or it’s a drop off pass for a layup
The more I watch, the more I see, that Sides problem, isn't with, point production, but defense. Annnd, they just waived, an NCAA defensive "specialist", that they "drafted", for that specific purpose? Why is Sides allowed to "throw" everyone under the bus?
She fits the player type for sure. A very strong shooter that can handle the ball well and is a great playmaker. Not really close in talent level, but Nash is one of the best at both. Probably the most efficient shooter after Curry and the best 'thread the needle' passer in the game, making him one of the best offensive players ever.
@@GrandmasterZen Got it every NBA MVP is watchable, likeable, and Bball breakdown is about marketing. So 2 × WNBA MVP, ROY and 2 x champion does not fall under that criteria, but Rookie Caitlyn Clark is so much more game changing she does...now I know appreciate you.
Coach - I don’t follow the WNBA and that is why I’m asking this question… What is a typical 3 pt shooting percentage in this league? You mentioned Caitlin is below average, but what is the average? Thanks!
didn’t watch her much in Iowa aside from the tourney. besides her vision and passing ability her speed is really what makes her go. also, deceptively strong for her size. sorry for no caps i’m being lazy.
Caitlin Clark DOMINATES the SEASON - After 40 GAMES! 🌸Caitlin Clark is 2024 ROTY & 2024 MVP! ❤ AFTER 40 Games, Caitlin's Stats: Point Average Per Game: 37.76 ❤ Total Points Produced: 1,510.4 (OVER 1K POINTS ACHIEVED After 28 Games) ❤ Total Points Produced as % of Total Team Points YTD: 44.44% ❤ 🌸NOTE: ASSISTS are PART of the Basketball SKILL SET & SHOULD BE INCLUDED when CALCULATING POINTS = TOTAL POINTS PRODUCED/ POINT AVERAGE. ASSISTS = 2.2 POINTS Per ASSIST ❤ 🌸MVP = MOST VALUABLE PLAYER NOT BEST but can be. Caitlin leads the league in TOTAL POINTS PRODUCED, which is the BEST metric that INDICATES the VALUE of a player to her TEAM. SINCE MID-JUNE, Caitlin & the Fever have been RANKED #1 OFFENSIVE team. Also, in stats for best player, which can be extended to MVP, is there any way to record the amount of blitzing Caitlin has had to endure this season, which also happens to be her ROOKIE season? How much Caitlin has grown in only 4 months, her ROOKIE season in the wnba, is nothing short of AMAZING. What is an even bigger WONDER is how much, through Caitlin's influence, the Fever Team has IMPROVED! ❤ One more thing to consider for MVP, why is Caitlin #1 on the scouting reports and NOT A'ja? Hmmmmm 🌸NOTE: Caitlin & the Fever Team RELY SOLELY on their TALENT to WIN Games. The Aces Team, in CONTRAST, EMPLOY the HELP of BIASED OFFICIATING to WIN their games. 😮 Caitlin Clark is 2024 ROTY & 2024 MVP. ❤
Never seen anyone make so many passes the no one else makes. Male or female. She can dominate without shooting, but she is the best at that too, male or female. Steph jacks them up but does not make more.
She's smarter and very competitive. Given time Caitlin will figure out a way to win. Double her and she will find the open teammate. Sag and she will send the artillery. She is deceptively quick with ball. I love it when she intercepts and just leaves everyone behind and lays it up.
As a John Stockton fan, I love how the mass media was hyping Clark as the female Jordan (historic scorer) and wound up having to hype the female Stockton instead.
CC's defense may be terrible but offensively she's like if Steph Curry could facilitate an offense like CP3. Her court vision and the way she runs the pick & roll is a masterclass.
I gotta say, the WNBA might be more skilled than the Australian NBL, at least it's more entertaining. Her passes are fire! And her inbound passes remind me of Josh Giddey (if only he could shoot a 3ball).
Please take a look at the Australian international team, Giddey shot very well in his first game. It could be a prediction of things to come in the next season. I certainly would like him to be a little better, it was awful to see him left open all the time.
A loyal fanbase willing to ignore and dismiss all your flaws also helps. She is definitely on her way to greatness, but the current discourse is more about fandom than overall player ability ability compared to existing players.
😅Made so many comments on other posts but this once beyond basketball but Love and a lotf moee... id. Say Viiva Santa Catalina!.. Long Live Saint Caitlyn!🎉. Patron saint of athletes😅
Yeah, I don’t like wnba because their capabilities are very limited. Either they are not dedicated enough or they are less talented than men. This lady though seems to be very well rounded and smart
people who cannot see that she is legit one of the best players in the league let alone rookies tell on themselves more than anything. they show their lack of basketball knowledge. no one in the league has a better blend of scoring and assists. but dont worry things will click to the people that need more time for things to catch up to them once the game REALLY slows down for Clark. shes clearly the best PG, Passer and point generator in the entire league and she is a rookie.
@@baseupp12 she literally accounts for more points for her team than Sabrina. talking points and assists generated. and its more impressive because Sabrina plays for a much better/stacked team and fever had the toughest schedule for the 1st half of the season.
@@baseupp12 CC accounts for more points and assists combined. Thats more impressive than just points. And CC is the primary scorer and ball handler for her team and is also a rookie so she is gonna rack up turnovers. Again, Sabrina is on a stacked team, if CC was on that team she would have less turnovers. But all that is beside my point. my initial post was my point. All u cam bring up is CCs turnovers lol 🤷🏽♂️
@@dominicharris5489 maybe she would have less turnovers maybe not I can't judge that and if Sabrina was the star offensive weapon on her team like Caitlyn is her points and assists would also skyrocket so we would be back at this same situation. Also raw points generated is counteracted by how many offensive possessions you cause to end i.e turnovers.
Hey Coach longtime fan. You should make a video on the Celtics championship. It was very interesting. How they smoked the Mavs make a championship video already. You’re not a Boston hater are you?

Not really close in talent level, but Nash is one of the best at both. Probably the most efficient shooter after Curry and the best 'thread the needle' passer in the game, making him one of the best offensive players ever.

What is a typical 3 pt shooting percentage in this league? You mentioned Caitlin is below average, but what is the average?
Thanks!
Like mid 30's. 34-36%. CC is currently at 32%, so slightly below average for a WNBA shooter.
didn’t watch her much in Iowa aside from the tourney. besides her vision and passing ability her speed is really what makes her go. also, deceptively strong for her size. sorry for no caps i’m being lazy.
Great video! ogumbawale is also her. Make a deep dive on her too!
Caitlin Clark DOMINATES the SEASON - After 40 GAMES!
🌸Caitlin Clark is 2024 ROTY & 2024 MVP! ❤
AFTER 40 Games, Caitlin's Stats:
Point Average Per Game: 37.76 ❤
Total Points Produced: 1,510.4 (OVER 1K POINTS ACHIEVED After 28 Games) ❤
Total Points Produced as % of Total Team Points YTD: 44.44% ❤
🌸NOTE: ASSISTS are PART of the Basketball SKILL SET & SHOULD BE INCLUDED when CALCULATING POINTS = TOTAL POINTS PRODUCED/ POINT AVERAGE. ASSISTS = 2.2 POINTS Per ASSIST ❤
🌸MVP = MOST VALUABLE PLAYER NOT BEST but can be. Caitlin leads the league in TOTAL POINTS PRODUCED, which is the BEST metric that INDICATES the VALUE of a player to her TEAM.
SINCE MID-JUNE, Caitlin & the Fever have been RANKED #1 OFFENSIVE team.
Also, in stats for best player, which can be extended to MVP, is there any way to record the amount of blitzing Caitlin has had to endure this season, which also happens to be her ROOKIE season? How much Caitlin has grown in only 4 months, her ROOKIE season in the wnba, is nothing short of AMAZING. What is an even bigger WONDER is how much, through Caitlin's influence, the Fever Team has IMPROVED! ❤
One more thing to consider for MVP, why is Caitlin #1 on the scouting reports and NOT A'ja? Hmmmmm
🌸NOTE: Caitlin & the Fever Team RELY SOLELY on their TALENT to WIN Games. The Aces Team, in CONTRAST, EMPLOY the HELP of BIASED OFFICIATING to WIN their games. 😮
Caitlin Clark is 2024 ROTY & 2024 MVP. ❤
Never seen anyone make so many passes the no one else makes. Male or female. She can dominate without shooting, but she is the best at that too, male or female. Steph jacks them up but does not make more.
So when will we get the Angel Reese video?...
Being smart, hard work ethic and understanding the game and having the will to put it all together.
I think the turnover issue is more of chemistry as they're not expecting that someone could make tose passes, but over time it has improved a lot
She's smarter and very competitive. Given time Caitlin will figure out a way to win. Double her and she will find the open teammate.
Sag and she will send the artillery. She is deceptively quick with ball. I love it when she intercepts and just leaves everyone behind and lays it up.
Love Caitlin!
As a John Stockton fan, I love how the mass media was hyping Clark as the female Jordan (historic scorer) and wound up having to hype the female Stockton instead.
Nash/Curry!
Don’t forget that CC has 6 30ft+ shots for the season so far and the entire WNBA has a total of 8 combined. We still got 1/2 a season to go
CC's defense may be terrible but offensively she's like if Steph Curry could facilitate an offense like CP3. Her court vision and the way she runs the pick & roll is a masterclass.
Her bad defense is a myth
THE GOAT 🐐
she is already the GOAT
I gotta say, the WNBA might be more skilled than the Australian NBL, at least it's more entertaining. Her passes are fire! And her inbound passes remind me of Josh Giddey (if only he could shoot a 3ball).
If only!! And it wouldn’t be hard to help him
@@bballbreakdown True coach. Maybe Lonzo Ball can help him reinvent his 3ball.
Please take a look at the Australian international team, Giddey shot very well in his first game. It could be a prediction of things to come in the next season. I certainly would like him to be a little better, it was awful to see him left open all the time.
YesHer!
A loyal fanbase willing to ignore and dismiss all your flaws also helps. She is definitely on her way to greatness, but the current discourse is more about fandom than overall player ability ability compared to existing players.
CC, incredible.
Go CC.
it's not how well she played ,It's her teammates able to read her plays and help her out.
😅Made so many comments on other posts but this once beyond basketball but
Love and a lotf moee... id. Say
Viiva Santa Catalina!.. Long Live Saint Caitlyn!🎉. Patron saint of athletes😅
Finally a woman that knows basketball. This one I can watch
Wtf are you for real
Yeah, I don’t like wnba because their capabilities are very limited. Either they are not dedicated enough or they are less talented than men. This lady though seems to be very well rounded and smart
people who cannot see that she is legit one of the best players in the league let alone rookies tell on themselves more than anything. they show their lack of basketball knowledge. no one in the league has a better blend of scoring and assists. but dont worry things will click to the people that need more time for things to catch up to them once the game REALLY slows down for Clark. shes clearly the best PG, Passer and point generator in the entire league and she is a rookie.
best point generator ehh I would argue Sabrina over her
@@baseupp12 she literally accounts for more points for her team than Sabrina. talking points and assists generated. and its more impressive because Sabrina plays for a much better/stacked team and fever had the toughest schedule for the 1st half of the season.
@@dominicharris5489 she accounts for more points but does that also account for her turnovers which she doubles Sabrina on
@@baseupp12 CC accounts for more points and assists combined. Thats more impressive than just points. And CC is the primary scorer and ball handler for her team and is also a rookie so she is gonna rack up turnovers. Again, Sabrina is on a stacked team, if CC was on that team she would have less turnovers. But all that is beside my point. my initial post was my point. All u cam bring up is CCs turnovers lol 🤷🏽♂️
@@dominicharris5489 maybe she would have less turnovers maybe not I can't judge that and if Sabrina was the star offensive weapon on her team like Caitlyn is her points and assists would also skyrocket so we would be back at this same situation.
Also raw points generated is counteracted by how many offensive possessions you cause to end i.e turnovers.
thanks
Her FATHER letting her PLAY with the BOYS Growing UP .......... HELP a lot with Talent to make HER SO GOOD Passing and Shooting
She is such a well rounded skill player
Hey Coach longtime fan. You should make a video on the Celtics championship. It was very interesting. How they smoked the Mavs make a championship video already. You’re not a Boston hater are you?
She plays like curry 2015 and this will change the League playing style the same, call me later
Yes girl Nash. Very active hands on defense.
The WNBA is so bad that when they finally get a decent player it's like jesus' second coming
