Caitlin Clark has just completed her inaugural season in the WNBA with the Indiana Fever, and it was quite an experience. She excelled during her first stint at the professional level, breaking numerous records while leading a Fever team that had only five wins the previous season into the playoffs. However, it’s important to note that Indiana was eliminated from the postseason in two games by the Connecticut Sun, indicating that there is still work ahead for Clark and the Fever. Despite accumulating an impressive list of achievements in her first season, Clark is already seeking ways to enhance her performance.

Clark’s season statistics (19.2 points per game, 8.4 assists per game, 5.7 rebounds per game, and 41.7% shooting from the field) demonstrate that she is already a standout player, but there are definitely aspects of her game that can be improved.
One key area for improvement is her turnover rate, as she averaged a significant 5.6 turnovers per game this season. Additionally, while she recorded a three-point shooting percentage of 34.4%, there’s a good chance she can enhance that in the future.
This is just the beginning for Clark, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see her set even more WNBA records when she takes the court for the Fever again next season.
