The WNBA has been searching for a player who could revolutionize the league in the same way Michael Jordan did for the NBA. That search may be over with Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever, who is taking the league by storm and breaking records with almost every game she plays. Luka Doncic is well aware of her impact and didn’t hold back in his praise, even admitting that she might be a better shooter than he is.
Caitlin Clark recently had the best game of her young WNBA career, scoring 31 points in the Indiana Fever’s crucial 100-81 victory over the Chicago Sky in the final regular-season matchup.
Clark has been a standout this season, leading all rookies in points, assists, steals, field goals made, three-pointers made, and free throw percentage. She’s averaging an impressive 18.4 points, 8.3 assists, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game.
Doncic took to Instagram, commenting on Clark’s remarkable performance from beyond the arc, via ESPN’s SportsCenter: “That’s the women’s Steph Curry. She can shoot it better than me.”
