A theory was put up by Jason Whitlock to explain why Caitlin Clark has had setbacks in her WNBA career thus far.
Following consecutive defeats, the divisive podcaster expressed his opinion that the Indiana Fever player had made it “too easy” for rivals to protect her.
He posted on X Sunday afternoon, saying, “20 games into her WNBA career, and Caitlin Clark is just too easy to defend.”
She doesn’t pursue easy shots, thus she seldom ever takes them. Admire the plays she writes. But it won’t work to continuously throw challenging 27-footers.
After Whitlock’s impressive college career, many of his fans agreed with his assessment and shared their own insights on how the 22-year-old was adjusting to the league.
Although Caitlin Clark does an amazing job of getting her teammates easy looks, her teammates are unable to assist her in getting a simple shot. One admirer remarked, “She needs to be more aggressive with her attacks and attempts, but she will evolve.”
Another person said, “I think she’s tired from the long college season and then right into the crazy schedule of the WNBA.”
She ‘hasn’t looked herself last few games,’ a third said, adding, ‘I am guessing coach isn’t getting her motivated and offensive system looks chaotic.”
It happens shortly after the phenomenal rookie revealed something startling about Christie Sides, her coach.
The Iowa alum was questioned about the best in-game advise she had received this season after the Fever’s loss to the Storm last week.
