Mediocre
If I’m understanding the WNBA players vote correctly, they did not rank Caitlin Clark 9th. Many of the players did not rank her in the top 4 based off her play THIS SEASON — which is valid. Fever have played 16 games. She’s missed half of those games with injuries (including tonight’s Commissioner Cup championship against Minnesota). She’s also averaging a league high 6 turnovers a game, shooting 29 percent from three and 39 percent from the field.
Let’s just be real — those aren’t All Star numbers by any objective measure. But popularity drives All Star games (I’m old enough to remember when Yao Ming kept being voted a AS starter over Shaq). I have zero problem with CC being an AS because she’s who millions of fans want to see. Still a great player, but no she has not had a great season.
But the players are judging her by what they’ve seen from her this season and I don’t think it’s all that crazy or controversial to look at her stats and see why they came to that conclusion.
But I get it, some of y’all just want to drive the jealous Black women taking down a darling white woman narrative no matter what — even though Paige Bueckers and Sabrina Ionescu were both voted in the top 4.
