Caitlin Clark Reflects on 1 Vital Virtue for Indiana Fever Before Her WNBA Debut

How important can chemistry between players be? The answer to that question lies in the four fantastic years that Caitlin Clark spent with the Hawkeyes which took their basketball program to new heights. To achieve that in the WNBA, the situation demands that she quickly adapt to her new surroundings. Giving a better picture regarding these dynamics, the 6 ft guard opened up about the significance of relationships within the team. 

Caitlin Clark is all set to take on the Dallas Wings in her debut professional game. But before that, many wanted to know how she was settling into her new franchise. Seemingly, the 22-year-old was asked to spare some thought on how she is building relationships as quickly as she can. Clark replied, “I think that’s something that’s definitely going to be important. Coming in here and coming to an organization where you know Lynn and Coach Sides, they value that. They know that’s very important to create Championship culture is those relationships you build with your teammates.”

Fresh off her training camp, Caitlin Clark is so far receiving some very positive vibes from the rest of her teammates. Although she has played alongside Aliyah Boston in the FIBA U19 Women’s World Cup, her on-court collaboration with the former South Carolina star appears to be magical. Also, the bond with the team veteran Erica Wheeler has gone to the extent where the team’s no.17 considers an elder sister to Clark. 

However, Clark’s teammates are not the only ones who are heaping praises about her. 

Caitlin Clark gets acknowledgment from Christie Sides

Before the much anticipated pre-season clash with the Wings, head coach Christie Sides talked about how the No.1 overall draft pick can cause trouble for the opposition. She recently said, “You’re not going to be able to double-team us. We’re going to have players out there on that court who can shoot it. Her(Caitlin Clark) ability to space the floor for us is incredible.” 

There is no denying that Caitlin Clark’s playmaking abilities will surely come in handy for the Fevers. On top of that, her ability to land some big shots at crucial junctures of the game can prove to be quite problematic for others. Will the Dallas Wings be able to contain and have the answers to whatever she has to offer? Only time will tell.
