Caitlin Clark’s progression answers questions about how she would handle the transition to the WNBA
INDIANAPOLIS — Caitlin Clark entered the WNBA amid a myriad of questions about how she would handle the transition to pro basketball. “I’ve always been able to see something happen before it happens,” Clark said recently after the Fever defeated Phoenix and completed their first season sweep of any team since 2020. She’s one of those players where her IQ is going to take us a lot of places, so you’ve got to figure out where you fit in, knowing how to read and adjust off of her.” Clark leads WNBA rookies in scoring Since Clark’s dubious record-setting 10-turnover debut, her assist-to-turnover ratio has jumped from 1.23 to 1 in May and June to 2.19 to 1 in eight games since July 1. — In her final game before the break, Clark broke the league’s single-game record with 19 assists, capping a run of six double-digit assist games in a seven-game span. — If Clark continues to average 8.3 assists per game, she could shatter Alyssa Thomas’ single-season record of 316 set last season.
