Kavitha A. Davidson is an Emmy-winning sports journalist from New York. She was most recently a correspondent on HBO's 'Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel.' She was previously a reporter and columnist at ESPN, The Athletic, and Bloomberg.
It’s been a slow start to her rookie campaign for the WNBA’s newest star Caitlin Clark, whose Indiana Fever have dropped their first two games of the season in front of record crowds. This isn’t cause for panic, or for questioning Clark’s ability to succeed in the pros. Rather, for Clark and for the bevy of new fans tuning in to the WNBA to watch the record-breaking former Iowa standout, this week should serve as a primer on the high level of play in the W compared to college.
” Those comments were often framed as Taurasi having “beef” with Clark, but it was just a statement of fact: The W consists of veteran players with years of experience, and with just 12 teams currently in the league, rosters are stacked enough that coaches can truly play to scouting reports. This early in her pro career, Clark is facing defenses that can exploit her known weaknesses as she adjusts to the higher level of play.
