Soooo Clark had a great night last night didn't she? It was impressive but let's be honest Chicago were missing key players and are low in confidence after somehow letting Aja Wilson loose under the rim to beat them In the last two seconds.
Since I was last here Clark has certainly improved but she's not been alone. Mitchell has been sensational and so has Boston. Smith has also been decent. So she does have support but Reese has a rookie big in Cardoso and Carter who is out injured right now. Chicago's best shooter in Marina Mabrey demanded a trade and was dealt so it's been a rough spell.
One last thing I'll say is the issue I talked about before is Clark's turnovers and I have to be honest. Ten turnovers in the last two games and nineteen in the last four games is rough.....
But anyway it's good to be back guys and hopefully we can keep things respectful  |
Here is what is actually happening. A fair read, not some canned Twitter comments
Reese is an elite rebounder. And she’s a good defender. She is Andre Drummond except she has more defensive range and isn’t a liability at the FT line. Unlike Drummond she’s horribly inefficient under the basket. Her entire bag is built around motor. Her entire game is built on bully ball and reshooting off her misses. She has no post moves, she has a bizarre low release on short shit instead of going straight up, she is too ineffective outside of 5 feet to space the floor, and rather than shooting 30% off of horrendous heaves she should be kicking it out. They’ve gotta stop coddling the kid. The way she forces shots late in games and even is their primary tech FT shooter all to chase a meaningless record… why would the coach do that and I can’t imagine the team appreciates it. If she develops a post game and mikan drills til her hands bleed she’ll be one of the better bigs. But until then people need to stop insulting our intelligence with these bs comparisons.
Clark creates a lot of turnovers. Surprise, a qb is going to have more turnovers than a RB, and a rookie qb is going to have even more. Peyton had 28 INTs as a rookie. Clarks teammates are playing great but it’s because they are adapting to what clark uniquely does. Mitchell is thriving because clark pushes an absurd pace and Boston thrives because defenses blitz clark. And now they are unstoppable because Boston has learned to become Jokic. They are playing within a system clark is uniquely qualified to run. Clark makes the system run and she is setting the offense up for success. That’s why she’s not only the undisputed ROTY, let alone a candidate for mvp runner up.
