A key reason behind it is that Clark was voted the 11th-best guard in the league by her WNBA peers.
>Upon seeing that, Christine Brennan, author of ‘On Her Game: Caitlin Clark and the Revolution in Women’s Sports,’ expressed her surprise over the disrespect that the Fever star faces.
>“Caitlin Clark is 2nd in the WNBA in assists per game and T-4th in points per game. A year ago, her fellow players ranked her as the 9th best guard in the league,” Brennan wrote on X.
>She added, “This year, they dropped her to 11th. This really is one of the most interesting stories I’ve ever covered.”
>No offense to Bueckers and Miles, they are solid players, but in no way have they surpassed Clark by such a huge margin in the WNBA.
