    Wow. She's playing with a team of Roberta Durans.

    Yeah, she throws a lot of long passes out of the reach of her teammates.

    You do like being the contrarian fraud. Watch the video. Maybe one of those passes fits that description. I'm pretty sure the second still is one that she put on her teammate's hands, but the still image is from after her teammate let the ball get away. I couldn't care less about Clark, but you're full of shit.

    Why does every single thing about Caitlin Clark turn into some weird binary argument?

    Are her teammates great? Mostly, no. The Fever had the number one pick for the past two years for a reason. Some of them aren't very good, and sometimes they fumble her passes.

    But Caitlin Clark ranked number three in career turnovers in the NCAA in the past 40 years. She has a tendency to chuck the ball into the stands. She's a really, really good player who needs to cut down on her turnovers.

    Ridiculous. Still frames do not do it justice, comrade.

    if they were standing still, you might have a point.

    It's obvious in movement they're jumping and barely getting a hand on some of the passes.

    Unless you think ONLY Fever players can't catch, and all other teams can catch their guards' passes just fine.

    Which is doubtful, since Clark already has 14 more turnovers than the Fever's leader in that category last season --- in half as many games.

    You all might want to look at the all time turnover leaders in the NBA, some horrible players.

    Most of them named James Harden and Russell Westbrook. The true definition of team players, those two.

    There's a difference in "leading" the league in TOs and "shattering the record before the All-Star break."

    I get that everything for you will be a little out of reach.

    She’s better than them, she controls the ball which means she will always have more turnovers than others. not a single pass in that video that should not have been completed, the best players in any league are at the top of the turnover category.

    That LeBron James and Magic Johnson guys are incredibly selfish. John Stockton and Karl Malone, turnover machines, awful players.

    In Magic's worst TO year he had a 3:1 assist:TO ratio. Clark would need to average 16.5 assists a game to be that effective.

    That assist ratio would go up if she had competent teammates.
