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.

I think comparing Reese to Drummond is way off base and totally inaccurate. Reese is an elite defender who can guard bigs, forwards and guards. Drummond can't do that. Then we have her rebounding skills which are at this rate historic in the men's or women's. She's simply outstanding on both ends be it offensive or defensive rebounding. Offensively yes she's a work in progress but she has hit threes and midrange jumpers on and off all season and I'd expect that to improve as she gains more experience. The tools are there for her to improve offensively and if she does she could be Kawhi lite imo.

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.

It's funny how when the Fever were losing everyone blamed her teammates. Now they are barely 500 "her teammates owe Clark everything"?? Mitchell has been balling since the start of the season so I don't agree that it's solely down to Clark.
Also I think that excuse regarding her turnovers is weak. Quality players don't give the ball away as prolifically as Clark does and it's a habit she had in college too. And what makes it worse is many of them lead to easy buckets for the opposition. When the playoffs start that's when such habits really come home to roost as they did when she lost back to back finals with Iowa.
If you wanna talk about qb's then Brett Favre might be a good Clark comparison tbh. But I digress.
