THIS Is Why Caitlin Clark Is An AMAZING PLAYMAKER 

caitlin is studying how everyone plays...she is a better analyst than espn...she utilizes her teammates potential and skill more than the team's coaching staff..she thinks like the great ones..she really is a phenom

Field of Dreams: "If you build it, he will come." Court of Caitlin: "If you run, she will deliver."

She can pass that effing ball, that's where those critics just talk nonsense, this girls has game, she's cerebral and its fun to watch

Those who says she is overrated, please go check the stats. You discrediting her because you're envious. She earned it, period

Caitlin is like a Five Star General on the court, and this game her troops tore up the opposition with her spot on passing.

Caitlin Clark is Katniss Everdeen in WMBA. Makes people engaged and entertained. Game changer Golf - Tiger Woods Tennis - Serena Swimming - Michael Phelps Women's Basketball - Caitlin Clark

Yess, noticed that with Erica passing to Caitlin to push the pace - and then she got it back for a layup! 🔥

Something I notice now in EVERY transition, whoever has to ball is actively looking for Caitlin to give to take it up the floor. Worlds away from what they were doing just a month ago

The Fever are beginning to understand that when the ball is in CC's hands good things happen, not just for her but for everyone else on the team. CC is also learning how to get the ball to each teammate. Some can catch the straight pass some do better with a bounce pass etc. It is all starting to come together. It will take a while yet but this team is eventually going to be a winner, a top 5 team. It is exciting to watch it take place. Coach Sides needs to get with it as well or she might not have her job for long. Benching CC when she is one rebound away from getting a triple double is not the way to create job security for herself. I think the Fever can do better than Sides.

The coach is listening keep giving instructions. You are saving her job .

The defensive team often too focused on Caitlin having the ball, but forgot the others. That's why Caitlin has the power ro manipulate the defense

With so many Caitlin Clark click bait, your video was refreshing. Thanks.

Wow. I'm new to watching WNBA. Obviously, Caitlin is the reason. And, I now watch maybe a half a dozen podcasters, both black and white. I'm happy to say that all of them base their analyses on what is happening in the game, not on race or the color of the players. They are commenting on what they see happening on the court, not on what they want to happen. And, you are becoming my favorite. You are smart, articulate, knowledgeable and your analyses are absolutely spot on, the best. Kudos to you.

You have some of the best videos about Caitlin Clark and the WNBA. Fun to watch and easy to understand.

I’m an old guy who grew up with Jerry West, Gail Goodrich, Wilt and company. Listening to Chick Hearn. Carter you are wise beyond your years. Here’s one thing I don’t get. Triple doubles in NBA are actually rare. Few players get them. Double doubles are common. Look at point rebound double doubles and you’ll see almost every center will have 50 of them in a season in NBA. ITS actually a stat that nobody cares about. I find the Angel Reese stat remarkable not because she has 12 in a row…but because of the fact she broke the record of 10 in a row. You mean in the W, that’s a rare stat?? That’s what I find remarkable….

This is the reason why I watch WNBA now bro the analyst is top tier just speaking facts I hope you blow up one day to 1 million keep grinding

Kelsey Mitchell pointing to AB on that first play was fiyah!

CC's pace wears defenses down and puts them in disarray. Her teammates are stepping it up and cutting, running, etc. and finishing better than in the early season. She could have close to double digit assists from here on out, it's amazing to watch.

I'm really loving how the fever team is coming together, they are finally getting it

Carter! You made a great point about that first play in which Caitlin kept running to the corner after having handed the ball to a teammate. Caitlin's defender kept following her even though she no longer had the ball. Do you watch football? That play reminded me of a quarterback hiding the ball and running to one side, even after he's handed the ball off to a teammate. The defense keeps following the quarterback, which frees up the person the quarterback gave the ball to. Another great video; so many examples with clear explanations, and the way you showed the video before AND after your explanation was an improvement. I'd watch it the first time, but then you'd explain what happened and show the clip again. Great way to do this! :)

When you listen to Coach Carter, "Good Things Happen". 😀

You do an excellent job breaking down the game! 🌴🌴

How is a "15yo" (no offense intended) be so knowledgeable and articulate about the game? Fantastic analyses and commentary! Subbed

Great observational skills, game knowledge, incisive analysis. Subscribed. Keep posting!

Thanks, great analysis. I'm loving the improved chemistry of CC passing to Smith, Mitchell, & Wheeler. It was almost like a new team.

As always, I appreciate your effort in preparation and using real video clips to demonstrate your points. I always learn from your vids.

I believe when CC sets the tempo good things happen. Shes looking more comfortable out there. 😊

Thank you for this fine video and insightful analysis. Here’s why I subscribe to your channel. You are informed, engaged and focused. You are direct in expressing what you see and think - including criticism - yet (notably) abstain from name calling or otherwise getting personal. Thus you are blunt (yes) without being gratuitously disrespectful. One might say that you are “professional”. Thanks again.

Great video, very well put together and represented. Your efforts are not going unnoticed. 5 Stars!

Love the way everybody is running back crazy focused on CC... whoops, too late, she's already found the open lay up!

Loving this channel - I'm learning so much. In a few cases I see the players missing the fact the player they are supposed to guard has moved because they are watching CC. I think if you freeze frame anytime CC has the ball, and even when she doesn't, several of the players will be directly watching her. Thats another "gravity" thing that is not always commented on. I just watched the one where laney hamilton missed that allyssa smith had moved into the centre because she had her head directly looking at CC the whole time!

Caitlin Clark will get at least one more triple double before the end of the season!

Young man, you'll be an excellent sport broadcaster or a successful basketball coach in the future. Good job!

Love your analysis of this game! Great stuff! I also like your outside set, and when outside holding a mic, it stops your distracting habit of leaning your face on your right hand. You've got great analysis, keep working on the whole package of presentation skills, would love to see you get to 10K subscribers, then 20K, then... 100K? Caitlin Clark is a rising tide that lifts all boats, I hope 100K and more is in your future.

Great job on your video young man! Your parents must be very proud of you!

Another great analysis! You can see why she is a great point guard.

Lexi gets it

"Good offense always beats good defense. And vice versa".--Yogi Berra

Great take. I like the change in scenery.

your analyses are great. i never see this kind of stuff myself on my own. keep it up

Hey Carter, I love your analysis, I don't know Basketball, so you have been showing me what it is I'm actually seeing by breaking down the plays with the examples and terminology, in a "just the facts" way. Thanks so much. Subbed after a week of watching.

Yes! Yes! and a BIG YES! She is brilliant..thanks Carter

Great analysis

Caitlin Clark by leading the league in turnovers is a PLUS, not a detriment to Caitlin. If Caitlin has 42 more turnovers than any other player in the league, then that means that Caitlin is working harder than everyone else in the league. That means that Caitlin has had the ball in her hands more than any other player in the league. That means that Caitlin Clark has been pressured, trapped, and haggled more than anyone else in the league. THAT MEANS THAT CAITLIN'S ROLE ON HER TEAM IS MORE DEMANDING THAN ANY OTHER PLAYER'S ROLE ON THEIR TEAM. THAT MEANS THAT CAITLIN'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR HER TEAM IS GREATER THAN ANY OTHER PLAYER'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THEIR TEAM. Ladies and Gentlemen, leading the league in turnovers REALLY means that compared to Caitlin Clark no other player in the league has "carried the water" for her team as often as Caitlin Clark has done for her team. That means that no one else in the league has "taken the bullet" for her team as often as Caitlin has done. That means that no one else in the league has "stepped up to take the beatdown" as often as Caitlin Clark has for her team. This reminds me of back in my early days as a medical practitioner performing certain invasive pain mitigating procedures. I was somewhat beside myself after having performed what I thought was a bunch of procedures without experiencing a significant challenging episode. The more seasoned docs, the ones who had performed 1,000s of procedures compared to my several hundred procedures, brought me back down to earth. They told me that I'd not seen nearly as many challenging episodes as they've seen because, "young man, you ain't done enough, yet." So, I say to Caitlin's critics who are focusing on Caitlin leading the league in turnovers, "THE REASON WHY OTHER PLAYERS IN THE LEAGUE DON'T HAVE NEARLY AS MANY TURNOVERS AS CAITLIN HAS IS BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T HAD TO DO AS MUCH FOR THEIR TEAM AS CAITLIN CLARK HAS HAD TO DO FOR HER TEAM. In other words, THEY HAVEN'T DONE ENOUGH YET!

Great analysis. Thank you.

Aliyah Boston was not in shape to start the season. She got a lot of heat from the fans. She has been All-Star level last 10 games. I can see AB being a 3 point outlet for CC in the future. Can shoot that shot. Seems like Dantas also can shoot wide open shots. The Fever are starting to use the opponents overly aggressive defense towards CC against them. Fever will be hard to beat if they hit those open looks.

I imagine that Caitlin misses Monica Czinano or Hannah Stuelke … but Aliyah Boston is doing well to make up for that, and is improving with each game.

Carter, ask your viewers to like & subscribe before you end your analysis. You are very good at dissecting the plays. Let’s increase your subscribers. Do not be bashful, ask and you shall receive.😂😂

Thanks for the commentary bro! I'm in Spain and can't catch the games live - many commentators out there, but you're the best!!

👉👉She's one of the first "Court Generals" in rhe WNBA.🔥 It's CRAZY people cant see that 👈👈

fantastic basketball knowledge and breakdown

Gr8 analysis! 1) As u said, the WNBA pace is quicker than college BB. Every player was prob acstarter in college. 2) Takes time for the team to get in sync. A month+ ago, Clark & teammates needed a split second to analyze what the other was likely to do & then react. Now, teammates anticipate what Clark might do & pisition themselves accordingky. Clark now knows teammates will be cutting to the basket or moving to the corner. 3) Other teams do not want the look of Clark scoribg 25+ per game. Part of this is don't foul Clark too much cause Clark is 80+% FT shooter. The FT line is the same distancevas in college. IMO, in this game, Fever basically played Iowa's game. Get the ball in Clark's hands coming up the court. (KC Chiefs do not set up n the shotgun & direct smap to a RB; no they want the ball i. Mahomes hands.) Spread the D on the perimeter, run pick & roll and move off the ball. Clark will draw a double and find a teammate inside or open past the arc. Rough comaisons Iowa:Fever H. Stuelke: A Boston K Martin. S Afofolter, G Marshall (as shooter): N Smith, K Mitchell, E Wheeler, L Hull, etc. C Clark: C Clark, of course. G Marshall (as "shutdown" defender): ?? (TBH Marshall was my fav Hawkeye because of her attitude & relentless play on D.)

Love your videos ❤

You do a really great job Man, I really like stats,that helps me because I don't really understand the womens game, this game and issue has too many variables and I'd like to write about it.

reminds me of the Poenix Suns with Nash and DeAngelo. Push the pace. Nice analysis Carter. .

Another great job Carter when you are saying I just love this or that watch this or that I am right there with you agreeing ! i love your passion and obvious love of the game keep up the great work!!!!

Again, another great analysis by you. It’s good to see Caitlin’s teammates finally catching her passes and finishing. Also, I’m glad that Sides has finally figured out that Caitlin needs to have the ball in her hands to drive the offense. Earlier in the season when she had Caitlin in the corner and having Mitchell or Wheeler handle the ball, it was a disaster. It’s good that, at least some of the time, Mitchell realizes that she shouldn’t be dribbling the ball around for 10 seconds and then miss a shot. But this team does need to have better time management. Shot clock violations should not be happening a few times a game.

I love the Old Heads on Twitter claiming that they are winning "because they are playing through the bigs". Clark is the system. She is changing the game.

Inagine her numbers if her teammates keep getting better & Sides learns to let Caitlin run the offense completely

You are a fresh voice keep it up

Very nice breakdown and observations. I learn lots from your analysis. Sides still questionable to continue w/fever. I'm keeping eyes on her in the next few games.

You are the best CC play analysis channel out there man. So glad to have found your channel. Could you stream on RU-vid live for her games? Would kick ass watching it with your commentary.

Dude, you're really good at this. Keep it up!

I appreciate your thorough analysis of the game!

Just found you. Love your analysis and how you show it in the context of the game! Thanks. NOW I have to ask is the defense so bad or was it the new chemistry (as you mention Erica and Williams finally adjusting) that they had not seen before from any team, CC fast pace with all-in from the rest of the team? Will be interested in hearing your analysis! What was interesting in your discussion of CC getting into the paint that it was Wheeler that got the ball in the end! Thanks for covering that.

Thank you so much for this video It was very informative!!

Love your video❤❤❤

Convos, excellent analysis and like your enthusiasm. Keep up the good work.

Great analysis...the hand waving was a little distracting though. I noticed in the comments people are still dissing CC. I wonder why they dislike her?

Quick passing and less dribbling is the simplest way to quicken the pace.

Boom again Briana Stewart took her eye off of Smith for just a second. And Smith cut to the basket. Basketball 101. I luv that

I love the way she pray to the lady is good man she is good

Basketball 101. Wheelers woman turned her head for a split second and Wheeler did a basic fundamental basketball play. She cut to the basket. Hense wide open lay up. That was a thing of beauty

To show how disingenuous the WNBA and ESPN etc are about Caitlin Clark. This year, so far, there have been 4 triple doubles. Caitlin has the first ever recorded by a Rookie. Yet all you hear about from the WNBA and ESPN is Angel Reeces double/double record 😂❤ I mean seriously who cares how often she eats at In&out burger 😊

At this point, teams are better off letting CC shoot those logo threes. because her assists are more dangerous. And say what you will about CC's game, but for her having to change her game on the fly is so impressive. People tuned in for Steph Curry and got Magic Johnson...LOL

dis guy in love

Shes always been like that. When she didnt have it against uconn she became an assist machine and stolke and martin carried the team on assists from clark.

You are something else young man.Down to the T,,U explain it all..I thank you for pointing out some great plays

Carter, I am a 78 year old retired USAF Officer and avid basketball fan. I have watched a lot of players, game broadcasters and analysts over the years. In my opinion your future is really, really bright as either an analyst, or if you choose, a broadcaster. I watch all of your "ConvosWithCarter" RU-vids.

I really wish we could have seen CC play off of BG on the high post and work high low with Aja at the Olympics. I feel like that would be the most powerful offensive attack the WNBA could pull off rn.

your videos are so much fun to watch! improves my BB knowledge and awareness, and my appreciation of CC's skills AND her teammates'. thank you!

dude, you are getting the LOVE with this video. hope you can keep spreading your videos around to other players, so you don't just get identified as a CC stan. that would be a nice safe job slot, but you're worth much more than that. your knowledge, your enthusiasm, most of all your analysis and vision -- you do for us what CC does for her teammates. (and ideally for their coach, but I'm not holding my breath.) take the tips on your presentation seriously, consider sending a video to someone who might want an outside commentator (and don't be embarrassed to sell yourself as "I'm really young, but check my sh!t out!"). you are SO MUCH FUN to watch, and you help us newbies begin to understand what we're seeing. CC is bringing a truckload of us into the WNBA viewership -- you would be a perfect guide for us all. "Here's How Fouls Work in the WNBA." "Why You Can't Make Assists Without Turnovers, and Here's Why Some Turnovers Are Better Than Others." "WTH Is A 'Big"? a Point Guard?" "Who Chooses ROTY, and What Criteria Do They Use?" "Are the NBA Really Better Than the WNBA?" "Is Team USA Stacked? Should It Be?" a whole new career -- probably more than enough for one person, you'll have to hire an assistant. "Who's the Most Over-Rated Player in the WNBA?" "Who's the Most Over-Rated Commentator at ESPN?" no nvm, don't run that one -- no need to make enemies.

You always do a great honest analysis. Can you look into stat padding rebounds by Reese? Candace Parker is Legendary in the WNBA. Just want to make sure EVERYONE is on the up and up. Thank you!

Love your take on wnba,cant wait for more..speaking on whats right is awesome.

Awesome analysis!

Love your content! Very smart and I am able to follow with being a new bball fan!

I'm tired of hearing about the different levels of sports. W players and NBA players came from college or highschool. Caitlin has been playing with boys and a target on her back her whole life. There is no transition time for this girl and she is proving it. They are trying to make her fail but I Don't think she will. Go Hawkeyes!

Great take! I think the reason Fever players are open is because NY game plan was to first stop Clark, so all eyes were on her. Just watch the defenders when the assists were made. Lastly, the plus minus stat is not really an individual stat but a line stat. It just means the line on the floor at some time frame was better than the opponent. For example, if all starting players on both teams played the full game, the winners would be plus, and losers would be minus no matter what their respective contribution may be.

Carter!!!! I love your play by play input. You’re nailing it and the whole time I’m thinking, why aren’t you a sportscaster? You are spot on. I sent your last video to the Fever for coach Sides 😂 cause she acting clueless. Carter, keep those videos coming because I’m gonna keep checking for your input. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Great break down. U luv it!!!

Great video! What do you think about teams changing to single man coverage vs CC? Now they finally realize her passing is actually better than her 3pt accuracy.

About pushing the pace off of a made basket, when I was in college, our coach (who is in the Hall of Fame) said the player closest to the ball is to take it out and start running right away. In two of those years we led the Nation in scoring at 95.4 and 94.5 ppg, and on each of those teams 5 of the players played in the NBA when there were only 9 teams. That system works, especially when you have players that can run and pass.

Awesome style and analysis!!

Caitin, you are amazing. Your game is faultless. You observe, understand and experiment. If the results are positive, you are successful and achieved your game plan. I wish there were more players with your kind of insight for the game of basketball. I can't wait until you play your next game. Because you show us more and more is great. Carry on girl!!

I just discovered your channel. Your sports commentary is the best - it’s more intelligent and objective than anything else I’ve seen. I trust your judgement even though you said the ROTY contest is close. Having watched three of Reese’s games, I assumed the WNBA and media were just exaggerating her value for whatever reasons. But I’m reconsidering this topic because everything else you’ve said is so smart. It’s refreshing to hear such a rational voice. However, regarding the Reese/Clark debate, today I clicked on a notification from ESPN that said “Angel Reese calls for ball in final seconds and makes free throws to keep her double-double streak alive.” But by the time I got to the article they had changed the headline to say: “Reese’s double-double record now at 14.” The first headline must have sounded too much like stat padding, which of course would have been accurate. The revised headline shows the politics going on behind the scenes at ESPN. They are committed to their biases, not to honest reporting. Please keep up your honest, thoughtful analysis.

Outstanding game breakdown.

You’re saying the defense is terrible but the reason is because when a team is fast and there’s an extreme shooting threat it’s hard to quickly get your assignment covered because they have to deny Clark’s long shot. In every game when you take something you have to give somewhere. It’s terrible BECAUSE of the pace and Clark’s gravity.

Clark had 17 triple-doubles in her college career at Iowa -- and the Hawkeyes won all those games. This legacy because of her amazing talent looks will continue in the WNBA.

When MJ came into the NBA he was dominating from the word go because his athleticism was off the charts, so they started fouling him hard AF, and when that didnt work they also double and triple teamed him! That failed too because that type of defense MADE HIM BETTER! I think CC being face guarded at 94' then doubled at half court is going to MAKE HER BETTER because she has vision, elite passing skills, and can pull up DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! She WILL be a legend nobody will surpass!

¡Gracias!
