Must have something to do with lack of athleticism and more difficulty finishing shots from so far away from the rim.
WNBA would be a Bill Self dream. The big man (woman) matters more.
I don’t think she’s atrocious. But it’s ugly and not going to draw in eyeballs like she thinks. She rebounds a lot of her misses and draws lots of fouls, so her % isn’t as bad at first glance, but it also means her rebounds are overstated. She also plays good defense. She’s a better FT shooting version of Andre Drummond. [Reply]

You can see how these dumb things start. Woke media race baits by claiming clark has privilege due to race, sexuality and being “pretty.” Trolls on the other side come out and throw the same bait back at the baiters. Both sides shout across each other while the majority of this country just wants to enjoy some basketball, but ultimately the two sides are so polarizing they get sucked into the debate anyway.
Every other sport has mostly driven this nonsense out. This is mostly happening because the baiters who were deplatformed from places like espn know that this is a sport that still tolerates this nonsense. [Reply]
