Caitlin Clark Is ALREADY One Of The Best Passers On The Planet | WNBA Film Study 

I think she proved herself to be a more versatile player than many people thought in that game (including me, tbh). She showed that even when her shot is off she can still be a major asset to the team.

Missing the layups is why the score was so close

With the opposition guarding against a long 3, it opens the whole court to any multiple pass avenues.. She has immaculate vision of the play in progress. Not many have that insight.

it’s scary how good she is ✨

Great analysis Hunter. I agree on the passing ability. It makes it where defense has to be wary of all 4 offensive players because they could get a great pass at any time in position to score.

I've said this before on YT, but I'll say it again: when Caitlin passes the ball it's sometimes true Harry Potter shit: she disapparates the ball in her own hands and apparates it in the teammate's hands. It's so fast, often at an unexpected point in the play, to a unsuspected receiver, it's like magic. Sometimes, I've run a play at quarter-speed and I still only just get a glimpse of the ball. Monica Czinano, and then Hannah Stuelke and Syd Affolter, and Kate Martin, they were all used to the ball suddenly appearing exactly where they needed it to be out of a mini-wormhole but the Indiana girls are still getting used to it!

She could have had a dozen assists last night if her mates could have finished anything.....

It must be kind of a culture shock to go from an offense where, if she wasn't scoring, their getting blown out, to one where they kinda don't need her to score. I attribute her poor fg% in the preseason to her facing actual pro defenders and still getting used to pro defense. That's also most likely the reason why she turns the ball over so much. Imo those are things that as she gets more settled into the league, they will fix themselves. What she's already elite at, is drawing in those defenders and so garnering much attention. Her gravity is, no lie, already the most in the league second to maybe only Aja. And because she's such an elite passer, she hits her teammates perfectly. Once she gets used to the pro defenders, and her teammates get used to such good passes (lol) I honestly think she could lead the league in assists. The transition from elite scorer to elite playmaker is one im excited to see for CC.

Great video as always, dude. So glad I found this channel. My main concern with Clark and Indiana is that she's going to end up in the same situation Sabrina Ionescu was in before the Liberty picked up Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones. IIRC, the opposing team would pick Sabrina up full court, blitz her on every screen, and trap her as soon as she passed half court on almost every possession, which forced her into a lot of turnovers and kept her out of rhythm. Caitlin made some great passes in the Atlanta game and honestly could've had more assists if her teammates didn't blow some easy chances. But Dangerfield and Aerial Powers were defending Clark like it was a playoff elimination game - they were physical and made it tough all night. Caitlin was catching a lot of flack for her inefficiency, but her shooting percentage night to night doesn't really concern me. She definitely needs to clean up the TOs though, hopefully that will come with time as the Fever have time to gel a little more.

Nice breakdown. I watched it all, and you are spot on!!!

With a GPA of 3.+, Shes smart on and off the court.

Those "grown women" chased that 18 yo kid all night. 3 at a time.

I would suggest to the coaching team, let her do what she has been doing in IOWA and let all adjust to CC. If not, then they will never take advantage of CC

Love that your video is pure commentary on the actual basketball game, and techniques and strategy, and not about all the other side convos not really about the actual game.

Another nice analysis with film. It's so nice to see evidence of something someone is talking about. You always do that.

At Iowa CCs teammates played with her for years and by the 2022 / 2023 season could anticipate her passes. CC’s Indiana teammates need to adapt quickly.

I’m new to your channel but you do a great job of explaining the game. Thx a ton!

Caitlin Clark is such great shooting,that she draws double team and it open up a teammates for easy shots, because Caitlin Clark a great passer,that she able pass the ball to her teammates for easy shots . Caitlin Clark lead the nation in assist while in college because she a great passer.

Fantastic explanation with slow-motion and freeze-frame video.

awesome content!💖💖

awesome video

Enjoyed the Commentary and Key Points Hunter 👍 I personally think Teams are going to just continue putting 2 or more on Caitlin and putting pressure on her every game. Teams have already figured that out so far. It’s kind of like in football, if you don’t run the ball much, other teams will stack the Defense into coverage knowing you’ll pass, on the other hand if you establish the running game, other teams have to respect it and Adjust , and that will open up a alot more options. The Fever have got to find a way to strategically get other players besides Aaliya into the Mix more to the lane and Basket and not just on the outside like I’ve seen in the first 2 games. I know that it’s only preseason, and the fact that Caitlin is still just a rookie in this League, it’s gonna take time and adjustment. There’s also been too many missed shots underneath when Caitlin was passing the ball Around to people close to the Basket. They need to improve there too, Because you just can’t be missing that many buckets that close to the basket over and over, and expect to win alot of games that way. I do have Faith in The Fever, Their My Team, and The Solid Talent is All There, But even as a Diehard Fever Fan, I would be outright lying to say that there isnt alot to work on and Improve on, Because there is a Great deal to work on for the Whole Team

Do me a favor Hunter do some film studies on her time in Iowa last year

3rd all-time leading Assist leader in NCAA history for women’s basketball. World class passer in fact. Very unique statistical category to be an all-time great considering she’s also the all-time leading scorer in NCAA history

Pete Maravich LSU 1967-1970 averaged 44 points per game, Clark 28. He averaged 1,222 points per year, Clark 988 per year. Total college games played Maravich 83, Clark 139. Pete Maravich could only play 3 college years. Freshmen could not play. AND no 3-point line. Men's GOAT

Outstanding descriptive on Ms. Clarks passing capabilities, Mr. Cruz, She is as good as any NBA player today. LOL Magic Kidd, Byrd and Caitlin Thumbs up will be dropping back in.Good luck on your new journey on the You Tube express! Much success. peace Grant 🏀🗑👍

John stockton is the best PG in history because of his passing, and his offense was the pick and roll. He doesn't get the credit over zeke .(Isaiah thomas) but IMO he better and the right choice for th 92 Olympic team because of his passing

Wait until they really have had time to play together……. She’s a smart lady with great instinct….

She has more turnovers than assists so far. Two for nine from three-point land in the second game. She might snap out of it, but so far I don’t know how you cannot be disappointed in her results.

On a lot of those if they make one more pass there are wide open 3 pointers to be had as well. Can make them pay for packing it in down low

Caitlin maybe running the wnba

Do Rickea Jackson

CC passes to everybody but Kelsey has passed to CC just once in the past four/five games...why?

It's crazy but you know who'd be a perfect teammate for Clark's game? Angel Reese. Their games would fit like a glove.

Need to get that shot dropping, going 3-10 gona get old.

sheeesh. the ball suddenly "appears" in the hands of her team mates. hahahah. HUH

She is good

SHE WILL SHATTER THE ASSIST RECORD

She’d have 20 assists a game if her team could make their shots

Caitlin's teammates need to go back to school when it comes to making a lay-up. Those misses are behind the failure of the WNBA. For Christ's sakes, ladies...it's a lay-up! No ones asking for a dunk, but how do you consistently miss the easy ones? Your lay-up drills need to be ready for CC's pace. Lets you will be floundering under 20 wins...again.

THIS IS LIKE A MAN PLAYING IN A WOMANS LEAGUE. THE TALENT IS ON A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL.

“On the planet” is insane. Stop.

Her passing skills is way to advance for her teammates. A lot of drop ball n turnover due to her teammates not ready

Lmao really dragging it

Your film study may be spot on but guess what record breaking attendance and views are not for your description of cookie cutter players,Sides wants to handcuff Kaitlyn Clark to be a long two point shooter instead of dancing in quotation dribbling. They did come out to see Kaitlyn Clark, shoot, three-pointers and dance around with the ball trying to find her players. She is a one and a generational player and they cannot fit her into an old peg hole

Can you do a flim breakdown on the sun game so we can see why they had a good day guarding her

Isn't she lovely
