DT had 17 in a game a couple of years ago, Loyd had 16 a year ago. I'm guessing Clark will shatter this number at some point in her career.
My understanding is that if both land in the lottery, Dallas has the right to swap picks with Chicago. So if Chicago lands a higher pick, Dallas will swap picks and take the higher one while Chicago gets the lower one.
Those are great numbers. I have no problem with high volume shooting as long as it is done efficiently. That's been a problem with Arike on most days.
This made me curious about the most made 3s in a game. Apparently no one has made more than 9 3-pointers in a game. Jewell Loyd and Kelsey Mitchell are tied for the record with 9. Kayla McBride tied for 3rd when she made 8 earlier this year. There are a TON of players tied at 15th with 7 made threes and a bunch of those players are still active / most of the records were made over the past two years. Interestingly Caitlin Clark is one of those players with 7 in a game.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet. Definitely see it happening as teams continue to rely heavily on the 3ballThis made me curious about the most made 3s in a game.

It definitely shows that the amount of 3-point attempts is still trending upward and I wouldn't be surprised if someone finally hits 10 made threes in a game this season or next season.
Yes, nearly 50% certainly justifies taking them, didn't mean to sound like I was knocking her. Sorry if it came off that way.
Didn't think you were--just wanted to throw some credit her way in case people thought she was missing a lot
Not exactly thriving. Doesn't look like she's made a big jump in her second year either.
She just didn’t develop in college imo. 6’2” with her skill set going into college she could have been generational imo. But her shooting got worse and the rest of her skill set never expanded either. Got a national championship and a Stanford degree so really who could complain.
The fact she's playing PG is confusing to me. Don't recall that being her natural spot while in college. But it doesn't fully explain why her progression has been underwhelming. It's a head scratcher.
No way. The fever are gonna fire her and bring in Bluder so The Greatest can shoot twenty threes every game. Sides is a horrible coach who orders her team to freeze Clark out.
To piggy back on this as it also relates to Atlanta, what is going on with Amihere? Cubaj is getting more minutes and she joined late due to overseas commitments. Perplexing.
I think she isn't being talked about one element is because she plays for Atlanta and they are decent but not getting a lot of media attention. Is she succeeding? I would say yes.
It seems like she was kinda the de facto PG about half the time at Stanford, but I never thought it was her strong suit. She can pass, but not a great ball handler and turn over prone.
