Caitlin Clark injured by Ohio State fan

For context, Caitlin Clark's fg% of .481 would be 13th among NCAA women's teams. Her 3 pt % would be 3rd among teams. She's not close to the top ten in fg% or 3 pt% individually. Interestingly, in stats per 100 possessions, one of the top 3 pt shooters in the NCAA does much, much better, the oft-injured Paige Bueckers, who shoots .565 from the field, .476 from 3, not nearly as good a passer or rebounder, but has 2.3 steals per game and gets an astonishing 60 pt differential between her offensive (136.8) and defensive rating (76.4) per 100 possessions, in comparison to Clark's 37 point differential, offensive (123) vs. defensive (86). Bueckers is of course on a deep squad but she makes a very big difference on both ends in comparison to Clark. Bueckers, of course, doesn't score nearly as much because she doesn't shoot nearly as much. Bueckers only takes 12.6 shots per game to get her 19.8 ppg, whereas Clark takes 22 shots to get 31.7 ppg.

Dame Lillard's fg % is .43. I doubt many would call him a poor shooter. Paige showed in the all star game that she's among the best 3 point shooters in the country- female or male. Calling Clark a poor shooter/chucker is absurd.

How many times have you seen her play?

Thank you for exposing Clark as the original OP was proven right that Clark flopped with that fan (gotta love camera angles!)... she's been exposed for what she is, a drama queen and poor shooter. Move on.

That would be "dkjackson." Clark, as I have argued, is a terrific player, though she could be a better shooter and advanced stats suggest that Paige Bueckers is better on both sides of the court.

Bueckers is more efficient because her usage % is lower. (26.8% this season and 25% for career. Clark's numbers are 40.4% and 37.5%.) If she played on the Iowa team (in place of Clark), she would have to take more shots and her shooting percentage would go down. She also does not have to create as many shots for her teammates with Nika Muhl on her side. Davis in the only other Hawkeye who could create shots for her teammates, and she is nowhere near the level of Muhl (who was 2nd in APG last season).

Clark is #1 in win share, while Bueckers is #4. That indicates Clark contributes more to the team than Bueckers.
