They are both great, but I'd kinda like to see Kelsey win POTW.

Bueckers has a good mid-range game, and that should translate really well to the WNBA. Curious to see how things go for her in the additional college season. Another injury might open the door to a different #1 pick.
*Running a fast transition game is certainly possible for other teams, but as the Indiana team has shown this year, that transition can be difficult and painful. It takes a buy-in and commitment from the team.
*Watching some Iowa highlights from the last few seasons. Seems crazy because of what she is already doing, but there is definitely a higher Clark level she hasn't yet found in the WNBA. There were games played at Iowa where even her heat-checks were snapping net. Imagine those type of games are still ahead for her going forward.

Not trying to diminish KM but many of her points either come directly or indirectly from CC.
She also has les than 2 assists per game over the season.
CC overall just does MORE.
With that being said, the girl has been shooting lights out and is one of the quicker ball handlers I think I've ever seen.
Sky @ Aces @ 9 PM on NBA TV. The only nationally televised game of the four games scheduled.
Thanks for bringing up Paul Westhead. Sure was fun to watch his team fly up and down the floor and score at LMU.
Stephen A. Smith says Caitlin Clark is the WNBA Rookie of the Year AND is in the conversation for MVP (he says A'ja Wilson will win it, however).
Wilson's going to win it easily, and deservedly so, but CC has played her way into my opinion top 3, and if she keeps it up top 2 by end of year. Wilson has been absolutely incredible and also efficient lately. What I find interesting is while The Aces had 4 players on the Olympic team I believe? besides Wilson I'd take Caitlin and Mitchell any day of the week over anybody else on the Aces right now.
Hopefully CC makes first team all WNBA, too. That would be an incredible achievement.
Does A'ja deserve it?
Her team hasn't exactly been winning very much.

I remember earlier in the season people and pundits both were comparing CC’s impact with MJ (as well as other superstars in their rookie seasons) and asking “why isn’t CC making the team better? Where are the wins?”
Well take a look now. It’s pretty freaky actually. The Bulls pre-MJ in 83-84 were 0.329 winning percentage. The Fever last year were 0.325. That’s amazing those two are nearly identical. MJ improved the Bulls to 0.463 and a first round playoff appearance/exit. CC is on pace to lead the Fever to better than 0.500 (not a given, but conditions are favorable), and who knows how far in postseason? MJ finished 1st in scoring and 21st in assists. CC will finish 1st in assists and currently sits 9th in scoring. MJ finished 6th in MVP. CC should finish somewhere in top 5. The parallels are uncanny. CC has the potential to out-Jordan her impact in virtually every measurable.
Oh, but Angel has all those double doubles…

I hear her name all the time in Colorado. We don't even have a WNBA team.
Don’t think she will, sadly. Veterans will be on the 1st team, IMO. Wilson, Collier,Stewart,Ogunbowale or Lonescu
Jesus, you hit her and she comes apart like a stewed chicken.
WNBA Power Rankings: Fever's four straight wins, the red-hot Caitlin Clark and the No. 4
The Fever came off the break on a mission and are now above .500 and climbing our rankings.
ESPN has Indiana at #4 in their most recent power rankings. That had to hurt
Chennedy Carter still out. Hmm . . .
The funny part is, when people say CC is in the "MVP conversation" and CC haters get all butthurt about it, they're just showing how stupid they are because they don't realize its a tiered voting system. So when CC ends up getting 2nd through 5th place votes, she'll be "in the conversation". Haters and uninformed (aka Swoopes). Love it

Not sure about Bueckers being gay, but she's been vocal about Black issues. That should cover her unfortunate Whiteness.
I know! I deal with the shame of it daily ...
Yep, she’s apologized profusely about how she was born white.
It can’t possibly be COVID at this point, could it? Either she was suspended or they’re tanking purposely.
I was more thinking of a long lost relative of Tony moeaki.
The Wings are being handled at home tonight by the Mystics. Arike is ice cold, only 1-7 from three for 3 points total. 🤦♂️
Luckily, Patrick Mahomes' kids are Black.
Reese just air-balled a 12 footer. Her shot looks awful.
I realize I’m going to jinx it, but the Aces haven’t gone even a minute of this game without a Hawkeye on the floor. They’re up 25-13. Meg with great defense, Kate with a pretty assist and a steal.
EDIT: Kate hauled in a nice rebound that led to a transition bucket, and now Meg is back on.
I’d like them and the storm to lose as many games as possible so the fever can get the 5 or 4 seed. Sorry Kate and Megan.
