That’s the question on the white board in the locker rooms across the WNBA. Each team has to make a game plan for her. I’ve compared her game to that of Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry. To succeed, she needs her shots to fall. Her game is centered around her shooting ability. Sure, she’s a terrific passer and facilitator for her teammates but people aren’t showing up in record numbers to see a few dimes from their new favorite player. They want to see her shoot. P For Caitlin Clark, the target on her back has never been bigger, coincidentally the viewership for the WNBA is at an all-time high. Nothing we’re witnessing is new in sports. The rookie is always tested, the veterans are always going to be out to make sure the rookie coming into their league expecting to achieve the same level of greatness they were able to achieve in college gets a reality check. Thats what we saw this past Saturday when Clark and her Indiana Fever were facing off against the Chicago Sky and former LSU star Angel Reese. In the game, Clark took a hard foul from veteran Chennedy Carter and threw a shoulder into an unsuspecting Clark, knocking her to the ground. It was a hard foul by a player known for her toughness on and off the court.
