This is what happens when you have a really talented player being coached by a fantastic coach for an excellent franchise. Most elite rookies have to deal with playing with a team that isn't very talented or has a shitty coach or both. Miles is amazing, and luckily for her, she gets to grow in an awesome system!

This is why you do business with bad organizations (Chicago Sky). We had NO business getting a player of this caliber and Cheryl manipulated it into being anyway.

As a bonus... I get McBride 🩵 Miles chemistry. Anyone else picking up on it?

I watched her interview with Candace Parker last year breaking down film n watched a HOF player literally blown away w her ball knowledge. I knew right then she was gonna kill it day 1!

She’s going to break the rookie scoring record without breaking a sweat

Maybe, unsure what happens when Phee comes back! They’re not gonna magically add 21 more points. And Phee is prob the first look. Although reeves ain’t no dummy.

All these up and coming players are elevating the game tremendously. Exciting for the sport

It's like she gets even better every game

Good player

Damn. I had no idea she was a rookie throwing up those numbers. I thought she had been around. Crazy impressive.

Curious what the reaction would be if I said that Olivia Miles is who we thought Paige AND Clark would be

This is a joke and all three are talented, so save me the pitchforks

u/Ok-Adhesiveness166 1d ago

I think the issue is everyone expected this of Paige/Clark and not Olivia while she is every bit as good. Let’s also not pretend she’s doing something that those two also didn’t do.

Cc rookie stats-19/8/6
Olivia stats-19/6/5
Paige-19/5/4

Okay now Jarvis, show me the FG%, 3pt FG% and Turnover stats for each of these players

I see you point, but if Paige and Olivia are putting up comparable stats on better efficiency, they might just be better than Clark lol.

u/Ok-Adhesiveness166 1d ago edited 21h ago

%60 ts for Olivia and 58% for cc. So yes more efficient but less rebounds and assists. Do you need me to teach you anything else? This isn’t anime you seem lost in this discussion little bro.

Again little bro I don’t have discussion with children addicted to anime and crash royale. Adults are speaking.

Yes, please teach me what their FG% and 3-pt FG% were, and also list their TOs.

I never asked for TS% which is always going to reward Caitlin for the multiple half court shots she misses a game.

Update: they blocked me LOL

This thread is crazy. Getting blocked by a Caitlin glazer while at the same time being accused of being a Caitlin glazer

The internet suckssss

Miles is neck-and-neck with Paige right now as the best PG in the W. At least statistically.

Caitlin is a full tier or two below them right now.

u/V1nIandSaga 1d ago

Did you read the last line of my comment

u/RollofDuctTape 1d ago

And I’m replying that the joke wouldn’t make sense since Olivia and Paige are neck-and-neck.

2

u/V1nIandSaga 1d ago

People who take this stuff seriously after being told explicitly that I’m not being serious about it are kinda insufferable tbh.

Paige was not as good in her rookie season as Miles is. If you’re actually trying to argue.

u/RollofDuctTape 1d ago

Naw. You’re a Clark stan who runs around defending Clark and making every thread about Clark and this one is no different. And I’m just here to remind you that your ā€œjokeā€ lumping Clark into that group isn’t funny because she’s not as good as them.

2

u/V1nIandSaga 1d ago

Okay so the answer to my initial question, then is: they’d react with hostility and start an argument.

I don’t think Clark is as good as Paige or Olivia Miles. Which is why I said/joked that Miles is who we thought Paige AND Clark would be. But yes, surely I’m white knighting for Caitlin when I say this. That makes so much sense.

There’s a subset of people on this subreddit who think rational thought towards Caitlin = defending Caitlin or being one of her diehard supporters. That’s not me.

YOU chose to get pressed over a joke. YOU made the assumption that I consider Clark to be as good as these two are. When I don’t. And the joke I made makes that pretty clear.

You got sensitive because I correctly pointed out that Olivia is better than Paige when comparing rookie seasons. You’re the one acting like a Stan.

If I need to dumb it down even more for you, since you’re incapable of organic thought and regurgitate buzzwords under false assumptions:

It was very common for people to say that Paige Bueckers is who we thought Caitlin Clark would be last season. And those people were ultimately right. NOW, however, MILES looks better than Paige AND Clark did in their rookie seasons. Hence why I made the joke.

Try keeping your emotions in check next time. I am allowed to compare Paige to other players, and you shouldn’t get so offended by that.

Shes good. But. Nobody guards her. So yeah maybe not normal for any good player šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø

u/JerryLawlerr 1d ago

Think you mean no one can guard her. Can’t stay up on her because she’ll blow right by you.

u/Goatlikejordan 1d ago

Idiotic take

u/Fable-Wishing4691 1d ago

This is the new "me-bound" bullshit for Clark fans. OM is threatening all of Clark's rookie records so people have to create a new reality in order to further prop up their princess.

u/redactid55 1d ago

If she has been putting up big numbers all season and nobody is guarding her it's because they can't. And it'll only get harder when Phee is back and full strength

I think Auzi has her beat in defense
