Caitlin Clark entered the WNBA after a dominating run at Iowa. Fans and media pushed a narrative that she'd immediately have the same success with the Indiana Fever. Turns out, that's not the case. It was foolish to think she'd dominate from Day 1.
Expectations for Caitlin Clark were unrealistic as she quickly transitioned from college to the professional ranks. Now, after the Indiana Fever’s 0-4 start, a new wave of WNBA “fans” are filling social media platforms with obnoxious, unhealthy rants.
To be clear, none of this is Clark’s fault. It’s not her responsibility to control the social media mob. Her job is to find ways to be successful in the WNBA — a process that takes time. “Not saying that’s not gonna translate. Because when you’re great at what you do, you’re just gonna get better. But there is gonna be a transition period, where you’re gonna have to give yourself some grace as a rookie.”Clark has had her fair share of faults during Indiana’s 0-4 start. She has 26 turnovers, including 10 in her first game – a WNBA record for a rookie debut. In Monday night’s 88-84 loss to the Sun, she had a two-possession sequence that proved to be incredibly costly to the Fever.
It hasn’t all been bad for Clark. Through four games, she’s demonstrated she still can knock down triples “from the logo.” She’s still able to drive to the basket. She needs to adapt her considerable passing skills to the professional game, but she can be one of the best in the league.
