The subject of almost all discussions since her arrival in the WNBA, Caitlin Clark is currently struggling to display the fullness of her talent.
However, she already dominates Trae Young, Damian Lillard and Stephen Curry in a crazy statistical category.
It’s not easy to ignore the hype around you when most observers expect you to take your league to a new dimension.
Despite everything, Caitlin Clark is trying as best she can to find her feet in the WNBA.
In any case, it is clear that his counterparts do not really help him in this regard, they who do not give him any favors on the floor .
The crazy stat where Caitlin Clark is ahead of Young, Lillard and Curry
Target number 1 of his opponents, Clark therefore struggled to develop the flamboyant game which had made him famous in the NCAA.
In addition to his average of 15.6 points per game, relatively low compared to his standards, his shooting percentages remain largely open to improvement, particularly at 3 points (32.2%).
However, this is explained by the distance at which she takes these shots, greater than the best snipers in the NBA:
Caitlin Clark shoots an average of 3 points at a distance of 8m55 from the basket (the 3-point line is approximately 6m70 in the WNBA). His 2.6 3-point shots per game is the highest average for a rookie since 1997.
Beyond his historic ratio of long distance shots, it is above all the fact that Clark shoots on average further than Trae Young (8m52), Damian Lillard (8m44) and Stephen Curry (8m41) in their record seasons in this area which shook Internet users:
WHAT
Nah actually it’s crazy, his average will obviously go down but shooting from that far in the WNBA is crazy
Able to plant a banderilla anywhere on the field, Caitlin Clark does not hesitate to take her chance from (very) far away for her WNBA debut. Getting a little closer to the basket could nevertheless improve his percentages.
