Just have to give this young woman a shout out. Set the women’s career NCAA scoring record and finished with a season high 49 points. She’s unbelievable and I would pay $$$’s to see her play.

was listening to a npr report on her. Apparently 9 dollar tickets are going for 250 up for any game she’s playing in. Think if you wanna be closer to the court it was like 2500 or more.

Blazers should draft her.

She would have to declare for the NBA draft just as the WNBA draft. Every team would have a shot at drafting her of course. I would expect a big market team to actually take a flyer with a second rounder. But let's not pretend that she could guard any NBA players. But the NBA is full of players that can shoot but not be able to guard a chair. She is deserving of a shot like any other draft eligible male player. It would not suck if Portland took a look. She puts butts in seats. Pretty sure Jody and Vulcan loves players like that.
 
Clark deserves a shot like anyone else at the NBA, but there's no way she'd ever, ever sniff a roster. She's 6'0", 155 pounds and she'd never get a shot off if the other team guarded her. And defensively would be even worse.
 
Just wondering, was there any hype when Kelsey Plum became the all time scoring leader?

The NBA is irrelevant for Caitlin Clark. She is going to supercharge the WNBA I believe. Players like her will make that league a financial success.

Glad for her to become successful, but I doubt she'll "super charge" the WNBA.
 
Good luck to her in the WNBA. She’ll have much better competition, but perhaps she’ll her change her League like Curry and Lillard did for the NBA.

Some commentators disagree with the decision to leave Caitlin Clark off Olympic team, saying she is biggest name in women's basketball. I agree with the other position. Spot on Olympic team has gone to veterans with a track record in WNBA. Exceptions haven't worked well. Rebecca Lobo put women's college basketball on the map. On Olympic team she got loads of attention but minimal playing time. And that distraction was nothing compared with the spotlight Clark faces. Another year rookie Brianna Stewart was included, which left off Candace Parker, who should have been included.

Second point. WNBA season starts almost immediately after college season. I think a week break away from constant media glare would benefit Clark physically and mentally. I think she will play better for it.

While some fans talked of boycott and even rooting against US team, Clark herself has behaved with grace. She congratulated players on the Olympic team and expressed hope she will be there in future. She will.

Absolutely. She's doing exactly what she should. She'll get her chance.

it's not just some, it's EVERYONE
boycott !! start a picket line !! She doesn't have to be a starter, she just needs to be there. Give Clarke a few reps off the bench. Team USA is throwing away a goldmine. This is the BIG Olympics, the 4 year purge. It's in Paris France !! Everyone is going to be there. The last Olympics was TV only because of the Covid pandemic.

it's not too late to erase the snub. Get Caitlin Clarke on the alternate list, then mildly and accidently Tonya Harding one of the other ladies.
 
I literally did not know her 6 months ago.
Now there is multiple threads that are about her.
 
First it was everyone else being mean to Caitlin Clark, then it was her teammates not sticking up for her. And the refs were letting everyone bully her...

Then it was team USA jobbing her.

Now her coach isn't good enough and they need to get her a new coach because she played limited minutes in the last game (she had 4 fouls in the middle of the 3rd quarter).

People need to knock it off. She's doing fine. We don't need to be blaming anybody else for anything.
