Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 4532361, member: 6620"] Good post. I look at Caitlin Clark as high-volume possession, whether that be ball-handling, passing, shooting. Heck, she's a darn good rebounder as well. Shooting-wise, you might be thinking of Kelsey Mitchell or Arike (from my alma mater), but who she reminds me if Sabrina Ionescu: she'll do whatever it takes on any given night to bring it home. They both had posts to set up: Ionescu had Ruthy Hebard; Clark has Czinano. They're the epicenter of the games because that's the way they're constructed. I think that Clark would like to keep her shots under 20 a game. In fact, the best extended performance I ever saw her in was in leading the U.S.A. to the gold medal in Europe. Of course, she had teammates she could set up/play with from Azzi Fudd and Diamond Johnson to Lauren Betts (there's that center again) and, most notably, Sonia Citron. (It's waay interesting how well Citron plays off volume-centric players, but that's another post.) I think it would've been really interesting if Iowa had brought in a capable guard to play off Clark, but it is what it is at this point. Like Ionescu, I think Clark ultimately might be better in the pro's moving to an off-guard position that allows her to often control the ball. Bringing the ball up most possessions takes a boatload of energy, both physically and mentally. As good a ballhandler and passer is, I think her truest strength is her ability to let it rip. (And it's a blast to watch). I think she might be even better in the pro's. [/QUOTE]
