Idk, I don’t start them.

I have a feeling Clark will turn into a more efficient scorer, though. Part of all of this is projecting what the 2 will be at their peak.

You don’t watch the games and she is. 3rd best scoring season and 4th best rebounding season of her career so far.

You did and then deflected.

Rebounding is WAY less valuable than scoring.


I would say less valuable but not way less valuable when your team (and yourself) are poor shooters.

Some don’t seem to understand that.


I think most do agree shooting is more valuable.

Especially when you want to frame your argument that the great rebounding is so impressive when the player is rebounding their own bad misses.



Once again, how can you make this claim when you don't know how many of those rebounds she has? I'll help you out, she has 17 mebounds out of 167 total rebounds. A few of those mebounds were blocked shots that she managed to get back.

And Clark, the better of the two shooters, is 79th in the WNBA for eFG%

Are you also in the same boat as TX Tiger who thinks Clark is “just another player” and there are 60+ current players that are as good or better than her?

Yeah, I meant great year by her standards. She is most definitely a stud.

I'm not sure what's happening with her or her team this year. They just don't look the same, which is weird because they are basically the same team.

They look stale, and that's surprising given that Becky Hammon is among the best coaches in the league (if not the best). It's puzzling.

Now that I get
Not sure what's so bizarre about my stance that Queen Cait is getting the attention because she's white and (presumably) straight. It certainly isn't because of her basketball skills, as I've clearly pointed out with both stats and personal observation.

She's barely better than Reese and most people here believe that Reese shouldn't even be in the league.

Getting a rebound on a shot you shouldn’t have missed isn’t a good stat. I don’t know how to explain it to you any more simple than that.

She’s a good rebounder, if that’s what you want to build your team around
, go ahead

It’s partly her skill and partly her style. Pretty simple.

Do you think the fastest player in league history to 500 rebounds and 500 points is a good stat?

And if she were black she'd be getting the same attention. Is that your belief?

She can board, nice roll player. Like Andre Drummond.

CC is someone you could potentially build your franchise around

If my aunt had wheels she’d be my bike.

She doesn’t look like most players, which creates a little bit of a novelty. Same as tiger woods or pk Suban or Tj McConnell

I asked him earlier what percentage of people he thinks would pick Reese over Clark if they were starting a team. He ran away and didn’t respond.

She is 25-26 for her career in games she's played in. Why would you build your franchise around that?
