Message: [QUOTE="Surly1, post: 4614921, member: 11599"] Deacon, I have to side with oldude on this. Caitlin is the best long-range, step-back shooter in the game. Her court vision has improved where she's equal or if not has exceeded Paige. I would state that Azzi is a better catch and shoot 3-pt shooter, but they may be due to Clark usually having the ball in her hands. However, I strongly disagree that Clark's mid-range and pull-up jumper is equal to Paige's. There is not another player close to Paige in this regard. It is aching of beauty and form. Not to mention I am shock when she misses. The other reason I would prefer Paige over Clark is Clark's penchant for turnovers. In the last 3 games of the tourney, she forced a lot of passes that gave away possessions. This happened to be one of UConn's undoing this season. One of the major reasons that Geno always wants Paige on the court is how she protects the ball and manages the flow of the game. The one area that I would like to see Clark improve for next year is to be more judicious in making the "mouth-drop" pass. There are times to pick your moments. However, she has so many plusses that I almost hesitate to mention finding an area of improvement for her. Picking Paige over Clark is not a slight. I am an absolute fan of her and the difference between the two is minimal. If anything, I'd like to see a more selfish Paige and look forward to many epic battles between the two of them in the WNBA.
