You gotta talk about CC.

I mean, what we’ve seen from Kaitlin Clark this season getting her her second triple double of the season, the way that the fever are playing, what’s impressed you most about where you’ve seen Kaitlin Clark’s growth from a getting draft night and then now, uh, getting a second triple double and her team being in the playoffs, you know, honestly how she’s handled as thing around it.

I think she’s grown as a passer, grown with her teammates, grown out of the Olympic break, taking her time making good reads and I think players have adjusted with her.

She is definitely having one of the greatest rookie seasons that we’ve ever seen.

And we’ve seen that coming out of the break beating the top teams in the league, I think for sure after that win versus Connecticut right after the Olympic break and seeing the way this team has gelled and been rested and gotten better, they certainly are one of the most dangerous teams because of the way that she’s continued to get better on the ball as the point guard.

Uh, so you cannot sleep on the fever come playoff time.

I think also for Caitlin, something I thought about watching that game against Atlanta that we don’t talk ton about is like almost automatic from the free throw line.

She shoots 90%.

I think it ranks like fourth in the league and you could see how important that was against Atlanta to get those points and put it away and for her teammates, Indiana teammates to be able to inbound it to her and put her in a position to be fouled and help them seal the game I thought was tremendous growth from a young team like that.
