Indiana Fever general manager Lin Dunn started media day being asked to compare Caitlin Clark to two Birds — Sue, who Dunn took as the WNBA's top overall draft pick in 2002, and Larry, who turned the Boston Celtics into an immediate title contender
Just a few minutes into the Indiana Fever's media day, general manager Lin Dunn was asked to compare Caitlin Clark to a pair of Birds — Sue, who Dunn drafted No. 1 overall in 2002, and Larry, who turned the NBA's Boston Celtics into an instant contender in 1979. Whether Clark's career takes off like theirs remains to be seen.
Coach Christie Sides already has detected how Clark's trademark logo 3-pointers will help Indiana space the floor and her teammates have raved about Clark's nifty, crisp passes. The combination has some outside the organization projecting a championship run. Inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse, though, the expectations are more grounded. “Like Lin said, the idea of winning a championship right away — let's be realistic,” Sides said.
