Hall of Famer Rebecca Lobo says Caitlin Clark, just a few months into her rookie season with the Indiana Fever, is already the best passer in the WNBA.
Clark, who had a record-breaking college career at Iowa, is living up to her hype after being the first overall pick in this year’s WNBA draft.
The 22-year-old averages 8.2 assists per game, the highest in the league, and leads all rookies in scoring with 17.1 points per game.
Despite her impressive start, she was not selected by Team USA coach Cheryl Reeve for this summer’s Olympic Games. According to Lobo, Reeve left behind the league’s best passer for Paris.
“She’s incredible,” the former WNBA All-Star said about Clark on SiriusXM.
“I think Chelsea Gray over the course of the last few years has been the best point guard in the world and the best passer in the WNBA. [But] I think right now Caitlin is right there if not passing her in terms of the passing. I think she is the best passer in the league right now.”
