Caitlin Clark’s Cool New Shot Had Fans Thinking She’s Ready to Really Dominate WNBA
After a slow start to her rookie season, Caitlin Clark has found her way in the WNBA and is looking more and more like the dominant player that she was during her college days at Iowa.
That was on display again on Sunday when she scored 28 points and dished out 12 assists in the Fever's 100-93 win over the Wings in Dallas. Indiana has won six of its last seven games and is now above .500 (17-16) for the first time this season.
While Clark has been deadly from behind the three-point line, she has been developing a new shot since the Olympic break that could make her even harder to defend. Check out this floater that she scored on against Dallas:
I don’t know who needs to hear this but if Caitlin Clark adds this floater it’s over for the rest of the WNBA with all due respectpic.twitter.com/tdG6jmXxZA

Fans were in awe of it and agreed that this could take her to another level offensively:
She's been doing this at least 1-2 times a game since the break. She will come back from the offseason with that being muscle memory. https://t.co/kkf1NJot4W

She’s like, “great, now she got THAT shot”. pic.twitter.com/ZO2ufGVike
If she gets that floater anywhere near that of Tray Young it’s game over I’d call it right now she is already ROTY but she will be a champ and FMVP

She did add it, she started working on it during the AS/O break, and has used it in I think every game since. She is making herself unguardable, and turning KM into a monster at the same time.
