Ex-WNBA player dishes on ‘scary part’ of Caitlin Clark’s rookie season

Caitlin Clark will finish up the first regular season of her WNBA career on Thursday, when the Indiana Fever takes on the Washington Mystics.

Clark is the clear-cut favorite to win the WNBA Rookie of the Year Award as she has put together a phenomenal season, breaking multiple rookie records and recording two triple-doubles.

Not to mention, Indiana has 20 wins for the first time since 2015 and is in the postseason for the first time since 2016. Those five-win days appear to be long gone.

Val Whiting, who played for the Detroit Shock and Minnesota Lynx, offered her take on Clark after she dropped a career-high 35 points in a win over the Dallas Wings on Sunday.

“Here’s my humble opinion: I think that Caitlin Clark is still adjusting to the WNBA,” she wrote on X. “She has not yet fully adjusted to the league and look how she’s performing. And that, my friends, is the scary part.”
