Caitlin Clark Gets Major Praise From WNBA Analyst for Biggest Leap in Her Game

Caitlin Clark has been making many subtle changes to her playing style over the years in the league, with her current form being quite different from how she played in her rookie season. This mainly seems to have risen out of Clark’s sophomore season, which saw her spending more time on the bench than on the court.

Of course, spending more time means more maturity, with Clark quickly learning how to multiply her shots with less risk of injury. This includes more accurate mid-range shots, something which she was not much known for in the past.

Analyst Steve Jones could not help but highlight this in a recent episode for Yahoo Sports, sharing the contrast between Clark’s well-known long-distance three-pointers from before and her mid-range shots from now.

“Yeah, it’s just the comfort. I think you’ve seen just an idea and ability to get to her midrange jump shot a lot more to feel comfortable driving and hitting first. Not just like a push-off to get to a stepback.”Steve Jones said about Caitlin Clark.

Unfortunately for Caitlin Clark, her numbers have not been that great this time out. While Clark is still among the most popular players in the league, with many even calling her the ‘face of the WNBA, ’ her actual performance is far from the title.

Despite this, more and more fans have been rushing to Fever games to watch this Indy girl play. Most recently, the WNBA itself saw the Fever and Sky matchup create a record with the largest TV audience for the regular season in the last twenty-nine years, which mainly happened as a result of Clark’s presence.

Caitlin Clark Teases Friendship Bracelet Colorway For Shoe Line

Caitlin Clark fans are going bonkers after the Fever icon teased an upcoming Friendship Bracelet colorway for her signature shoe line with Nike. The kicks are expected to hit the market on the first of October and Clark fans are already holding their cards ready in hand.

The most recent colorway that Clark has teased seems to be a tribute to Taylor Swift, who is known for her friendship bracelets, which have become a sort of code for Swifties. Swift made the friendship bracelet even more popular after it was revealed that her now-husband badly wanted to gift her one with his number on it after one of her concerts.
