NBA legend explains Caitlin Clark’s WNBA struggles
Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark‘s impact on the WNBA has brought tremendous attention to the league. Yet, despite that, she at times has struggled to adjust to the league’s style of play.
NBA legend and former Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller says the reason why Clark has struggled at times is because she needs to adjust to how the professional women’s game is played
“The women’s game, they’re just straight ballers,” said Miller.
“And what did you expect was going to happen to [Clark]?” Miller continued. “I don’t think it’s jealousy… you’re playing at the highest level, you’re playing in the WNBA. You’re coming from college… what did she expect was going to happen? You’re playing against grown women.”
Clark’s treatment in the league by other players has many in the industry and fans saying that her colleagues are jealous of her because of what she has brought to the game, and is seen as an attack on the women’s game by those who closely follow it.
As Miller points out, not too many rookies are successful in their first year because they are still learning how the game is played on a professional level.
