What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

Haha. She actually talked about scoring (only) 15 points and wishing she got more buckets. That's not a joke!
Cheryl Miller had some interesting observations on Clark that I agree with.
Said Miller, “You talk about missing a moment. Her opponent got the best of her that night. And all she had to do is acknowledge, ‘All right, all right, you’re working my nerves, you need to put it down now. But I see you. I see you.' That would have been the end of it."
After the game, Clark, Iowa’s All-American guard, said she hadn’t seen Reese’s antics.
“Oh, she saw it,’’ Miller said. “Trust me, she saw it. You can’t be a great passer and have that peripheral vision and not see Angel.’’
“But in the first half, when Caitlin got into foul trouble, I watched Caitlin pick up her fourth (foul), walk all the way past the scorer’s table, all the way down, eyeballing the official that blew that fourth call.
“Standing up on the sideline, a coach trying to go down there and calm her down. Her finally going back where she looks like she’s going to sit down, come back down and then I’m watching the official tell her, ‘Knock it off. I’ve had enough.’

It was pretty well documented that those officials were all just a bunch of big meanies and out to get Iowa.

This might be dumbest take away from an event in sports I’ve ever seen. Did she want CC to bow before her? CC took the high road and Miller says that’s not good enough lol. CC gave Angel and LSU plenty of props in the post game.
Cheryl Miller misses one big element that most others have also overlooked. Clark's "high road" may not be so lofty. When I heard her say "I didn't see it," I thought she might be diss-ing Reese. Perhaps it was the high road. Or perhaps it was super-crafty continuation of the trash-talking. I suspect that it was a bit of both. Having deny-ability is next level trash-talking!
It was more her being a baby because her team got their ass kicked and she didn't get her usual beneficial calls from the refs. She's a walking push off and the refs actually need to call it more.
Being a baby. Being a trash-talker. There is plenty of overlap. I'm not ready to give her too much credit for "taking the high road" when she is so clearly not telling the truth about "not seeing" Reese's gestures. Surely she saw them. And maybe she is taking the high road. Or maybe she is not dignifying them with acknowledgement that she even saw them. That would be next-level trash-talking.
She may ride the refs even worse than Connor. She’s not used to not being allowed to elbow her defender every time she gets the ball. She’s disrespectful to the officials and her defender when she hits them with the chicken wing for separation, scores, and shrugs at them like they are just not good and she can get away with anything.
I think she took her own advice she gave to Van Lith. I’m losing by 17, just keep your mouth shut. And somehow that’s not good enough for Cheryl lol.
I’m glad some people that know about bb see her as maybe not miss perfect on the court
I would if somebody gave me a case of Bud Light. Sounds fun. Unless they wanted it back for themselves. Then I might just shoot one or two cans.
That must not have a minimum number of attempts to qualify, because she's listed as 17th on ESPN. Steph Curry has finished outside the top 15 in two of his past three seasons and is 12th in league history in 3pt shooting%, but he's still largely considered the best shooter in the history of the NBA because the types of shots he hits with regularity are bad shots for 99% of players (much like Clark).
What I saw was from NCAA.com. All but one of them had over 100 attempts. The #1 girl had just 97 attempts.
