WNBA (DR)

An unprecedented phenomenon on the women’s university circuit, Caitlin Clark has been having a difficult start on the WNBA courts in recent days. But in addition to her disappointing statistics, fans notice a strange trend concerning her.

Given the crazy audiences she managed to generate as a simple NCAA player, her first steps in the big leagues were inevitably going to be the subject of special attention.

The arrival of Caitlin Clark in the WNBA could not go unnoticed, as the young guard shone the spotlight on her during her four years at university. However, everything does not necessarily go as planned.

Caitlin Clark, #1 cible in WNBA?

Author of her first WNBA game last Tuesday with the Fever, Clark then signed a sad franchise record . Anything but ideal for starting your professional career.

Real roughness on the part of her opponents, simple adaptation time to the physical aspect of the WNBA… Caitlin Clark has in any case endured big contacts in spades in the WNBA so far. To see if this phenomenon will continue throughout his rookie season.
