Clearly the most significant player to ever play women's basketball. So many records and accomplishments and taken her sport to a level no one could have predicted

Already set a number or rookie records but may be on the verge of setting one she would rather not have. She leads the league in turnovers with 106. may not end up being the record for a season but I would guess has to be a record for a rookie? Always room to get better

I think she'll blow away the previous season record (137), but I also think she's already changing the way the game is played and it's too bad since at least 1/3 of these TOs so far are due to teammates either not catching the ball or not cutting on time leaving CC with the TO but not the one at fault.

It is almost criminal that her teammates are incapable of taking advantage of her skills

They certainly would have not won Any games without her on the floor

Remember records were made to be broken
 
In the Seattle loss last night, Caitlin shattered WNBA Rookie records...

In the first half of the game alone, Clark shattered an astonishing WNBA rookie record. She became the fastest player to reach 300 points scored, 100 rebounds, and 100 assists.

Hot Damn

She was also the fastest to 200/75/75 and 100/50/50 if I remember correctly.
 
The following is cut and pasted from good old Google search. All highlighting and color changes are in the copied info.

The WNBA will pause for a mid-season break during the 2024 Olympics, which are set to take place in Paris from July 26 to August 11. The break will last from July 21 to August 14. The 2024 WNBA regular season will conclude on Thursday, September 19. Each team will play a 40-game regular season schedule.
The 2024 WNBA playoffs will feature a reconfigured format:

The 2024 WNBA playoffs are scheduled to begin on September 22 and conclude with the finals on October 20

  1. Qualification: The top eight teams with the highest winning percentages over a 40-game schedule, regardless of conference, will qualify for the playoffs.
  2. Seeding: Teams will be seeded based on their regular-season records.
  3. Playoff Structure: The postseason will include three rounds of series-play:
    • First Round: Best-of-three series. (1 seed vs 8; 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6; 4 vs 5.)
    • Semifinals: Best-of-five series.
    • Finals: Best-of-five series.
 
As of Saturday morning, the Fever is sitting just outside of the 8 team playoffs:
1 NY 15 - 3
2 Conn 14 - 3
3 MN 13 - 4
4 Seattle 11 - 6
5 Vegas 9 - 6 (Gustafson and Martin)
6 Phoenix 8 - 8
7 Atlanta 6 - 9
8 Chicago6 - 10 (Devil)
9 Indiana 7 - 12 (Clark)

One of the fallacies is the turnover stat. On a turnovers per minute played there are other players almost as bad.

At least half of those are because the other players cannot handle her passes that are right on the money in most cases. But, it is what it is.

Yeah. But they have improved some as yrs gone on. Remember this was a bad shit show of a team she joined. Hence why they drafted #1 two yrs running. They have an inexperienced coach who I don't think is very good she's learning on the fly too. If they sneak into the playoffs at all that'll be significant. The first 2-3 weeks of this yr was brutal. Between the schedule of who they were playing and how often was criminal almost.

Clarks gonna be Clark she's already done things no rookies have ever done and she's only going to get better. If she can get a couple roster up grades in the next yr or so look out. Another ball handler that can shoot would sure be nice to take some pressure off her. Boston looks so much better the last couple weeks compared to the first few. I think she's played herself into shape and has gotten into a groove with Clark finally. Whatever Bostons ceiling is we'll find that out with Clark feeding her. With those two corner stones the future looks good anyway. It'll be interesting how rest of yr and next yr goes

The team has certainly improved

They have a solid team attitude

And they keep playing hard even when down 10 points or more
 
She doesn't care about transition T/O's it's getting her pocket picked are the ones she cares about. She has always been careless with the ball coupled with the non-calls on fouls in the W, but she has learned. She is much more careful shielding the ball while looking ahead and those careless T/O's will start to go away. Her pushing the ball in transition will not change, so she will be one of the league leaders in T/O's for her entire career, meanwhile she will be leading the league in Assists as well.
 
Caitlin Clark makes the WNBA All-Star team with the most votes overall, 700,735. Teammates Aliyah Boston finished second with 618,680, while MVP front-runner A’ja Wilson of the Aces was third with 607,300.

I saw some stat that Clark got more votes this yr then the top 14 voters from last yr got total or some shit... It's wild how much more fan interaction the league is getting this yr. Between attendance merch sales and this it's pretty wild.

I figured there'd be a bump of some sort with Clark coming into the league but even my optimistic self didn't think the traveling circus would happen for long let alone sustain itself for half the season or so. It hasn't showed any signs of slowing down yet. The final numbers at the end of the yr will be unreal.

One tweet I saw the other day said the city of Indy has had an estimated economic impact jump of $100 milly since like May... Folks wonder why Clarks getting so much endorsement $ well THAT is why. Between that and the eyeballs she draws on tv she just makes other people lots of $.

No, you've got it all wrong. It's Angel Reese, and maybe a little bit of CC. LOL.
 
So let me get this straight. There are 12 WNBA teams. With 5 starters per team, that's 60 starters in the WNBA on any given night. The 12 WNBA players chosen to be on the 'Team USA' Olympic team are automatic 'All Stars'. Then, an additional 12 WNBA players were also chosen as 'All Stars' -- including Caitlan and Angel Reese. That means 24 players -- or 40% of the entire league's starters -- are 'All Stars'? Wow...that league must be awesome!
