Could Caitlin Clark start on an NBA team?

This is just so hilariously wrong it hurts my brain.

She wouldn’t start for most men’s D1 teams.

As others have pointed out, her defense wouldn't be worse than many of the "efforts" we see put up every week by some guys.

I don't want to bash women's basketball or the extremely talented Clark, but anyone who thinks she could even mildly guard the worst offensive player in the NBA has a very very poor concept of foot speed and lateral movement and how important those 2 things are, along with strength, in defending players off the dribble.

Oh I know, but the way the OP responded to Joobs was PBMish.

I highly doubt it. I think Bronny could at least play solid defense vs NBA players.

She’s listed at 6’ 155 but people think she could keep up with the worst guard in the league? Give me a break

She would literally get killed. Imagine what happens when Ant dunks on her. Not to mention that her hands aren't big enough to handle the bigger balls!

Ever heard of Earl Boykins? Spud Webb?

Are you one of those guys who ignores genetic reality?

[boxbuster7]

It is closer than you think

[jcardstore]

It’s not and no matter how many more Clark cards you buy won’t make it so

[boxbuster7]

Y'all are just a bunch of sexist haters

Could you imagine Steph Curry constantly posting up Clark inside the paint like Shaq. She would be physically dominated. Maybe as a 3pt shooter when the team is down near the end of the game?

She’s good.

She’s just not NBA good.

The proper question would be: can she be the best WNBA player in the league

I think the answer to that is also no.

Pretty sure while at the game at Albany last night I could pick 4 other guys and myself and we would run Iowa out of the gym

do you think she has the vertical that they did? or the court speed that they did? She's a really good shooter but she's speed and physique are not in her skillset to win a spot on an NBA team

[ninjacookies]

But who was physiology/reality?


CC'd get tossed around like Lana Rhoades if she made even a remote effort to body up against Dettroit's 3rd stringers.


BO gonna maximum BO, per usual.


Here for it all, per usual.

Exactly, she would do well in shooting contests but no way she could hold her own in an nba game. Regardless she’s been fun to watch and doesn’t shy away in big moments.
